AD searchGday,
Been hiding in the shadows for a while so time to introduce myself. Dabbled a bit 20 odd years ago but didn't last to long mainly because i got into to much trouble and didn't know what i was doin. Also brewed beer for quite a few years as well.
Anyway 6 months ago built myself a reflux still was told by the hbs to do turbo's, then found you blokes. No more turbo's for me.
Now doin tpw and macs rum(which i can't keep my hands off)
Anyway AD is unbelievable. A wealth of info.
Sorry but look out for my dumb arse questions.
Another greenie.
Cya 8-)
