Howdy and thanks for this great site full of information. (ya gotta love the digital information age)
Well this is me, I have been brewing beer now for about 25 years, my current beer set up is a dedicated fridge 2 x taps and 4 x 19L kegs.
I have been fiddling around with neutral, supplied by a mate for about 2 1/2 years. mostly I make bourbon, I oak neutral on JD chips for 3 months, then mix with SS Tennessee Bourbon essence to make something that I am happy with. I have also dabbled in soaking fruit, making flavored vodkas and southern,(without the added sugar), and some Kafe coffee stuff.
I have decided its time to get a bit more serious so I have decided that I will build a slant plate Boka, rather than buying a pure spirits rig that I have been looking at. Im used to the neutral stuff so thought Id stick to that for now and maybe get into a pot latter on. I plan to build the boka so it can be used as a pot as well.
So last weekend I acquired a 50 L keg for the boiler, and scrounged a few fittings, I have enough stuff to start the liebig condenser, less the 1/4 " copper and thanks to this site now now how to de spear the keg.
I am north of newcastle, so if anyone can advise the best place to get stuff like copper, SS ferrules and Tri fittings, start shouting,
Thanks Waza
