AD searchHi all,
I've joined to get some ideas of how to Fabricate a still and learn some processes to produce some decent spirits.
I have some mates that have been using reflux still's producing some fairly ordinary product so want to do some R&D and hopefully get it right!
Cheers

I like this bloke already. He's gonna make a still and churn out better gear than his mates.

Welcome aboard mate. :greetings-waveyellow: Soak it up and ask questions. These guys are a great help.

Hi DD if you are after nuetrals you can flavour a reflux is the go to still (everyone should have one to fix fuckup however if you want to really impress and make a drink to be proud of I'd start with a still that will produce a flavourful product, eg. a pot or plated still. Oh yeah and welcome here bud :handgestures-thumbupleft:
