AD searchG'day All,
Great forum...
Just dropped my first 2 x TPW down .... hope I didn't jump the gun to early...don't have a still yet.
Picked up 2 x 70 Litre drums, lids with seals... the orange looking ones (smell like olives) from Tilkeys $27 each..... shit yeah.
50L TPW in each drum, is that too much head room? Does it matter?
Put a tap in one and will rack the other till I work out what I like.... to tap or not to tap..... that is a common question. I'll get some more fermenters and maybe a 200L job once I get the hang of all this.... Can't wait to make a rum with Macstills rum recipe and a Whiskey and Whisky.... :-D
Looking forward to putting up some pic's once I get fully setup.
Hello

You're not doing things by halves mate! FSD Bubbler and 70L fermenters straight off the bat, I like it!
I had 150L of TPW ready to run before my still was built... The longer you let the wash clear, the cleaner your neutral will be, and now you won't have to wait for weeks to use your new toy.
Welcome to the forums, it sounds like you'll fit in juuust fine!

Anyone who puts down wash before they have their still set up is alright by me!
