Hey guys,

been scalping info for a while from you all reading and observing, recipes, build types, problems and answers.
Ive finally finished my build of my Pot still - real simple construction made to fit 50l keg

bout time i finally got registered and see a few pics too haha

Im nothing special when it comes to distilling, however it intrigues me..and sure don't mind having a drink and appreciating that i made it.

so Hello from West Suburbs Melbourne, looking forward to learning more and more...looking forward to getting better product thats for sure !

cheers guys ;) :text-thankyoublue:

EDIT: by the way - Damo is my real name, mymumsaidimcool is just a name i came up with for online gaming yonks ago... was drunk when i did that too haha

here we go,

as i said basic build. but it works.

2" brass threaded nut silver soldered to keg, 2" into 25m nut (tightens and loosens to fill keg), 20mm copper pipe used throughout, there's a little quick fit connector at the top for easy breaking down and setting up. the condenser is just a simple 20m outer jacket pipe, 15mm inner.

everything water/vapour tight run a few times, nice and slow

puts out 70 - 75% nice and slowly.

Hi bud and welcome, yeah you're only about 1/2hr up the road. Yes I would say that still would be somewhat slow
