Hi All,
Have been reading threads for a week now,waiting for my still to arrive.Well it's here and the first wash is underway,so now its just a matter of waiting and :pray: :D At this stage Im an essence man and I drink the same stuff them Jocks from Northern England drink; WHISKY .Also partial to a bit of Rum,so all augers well. Early days yet,but looking forward to being here for a few years yet. Oh btw,I do hand it out, and can take it as well :D

Welcome, looks like you're off to a good start :handgestures-thumbupleft:

G,day, its the Still Spirit 6kg production pack that came with the deal.Early days yet,but my ears are wide open to suggestions :wave: The first lot will be whisky :text-thankyoublue:

OK Now that my first wash is nearly finished,hears the news you have ALL been waiting for.Im a Jerry-Hat-Trick old ex Army guy,known to have a drink on a hot day,OK make that any day and I used to make lashings of home brew.When the verandah completely covered the toy shop I decided it was time for a change,so I went for mainly whisky and top quality Chateau-Carton wine. :scared-eek: I really am looking forward to distilling my own hootch, so I will be in here asking all sorts of questions of you all.Thanks to those who have already helped me with advise.I will be glad when I have my first drink of my own hootch,as this Chivas regal is a little bland. :violin: Cheers

Hi Again,
How long can I leave the wash in the fermenter (if I have to) before distilling it. :text-thankyoublue:

Thanks Mac.Had a feeling it would be somewhere :handgestures-thumbupleft:

ok mate my advice after your turbo wash is done is get over to the tried and proven section and knock out some tomato paste wash it is cheap as chips to make and tastes great once you try it you wont go back to turbo

Tim

I have never used turbo cos my dAd does and it is crud compared to what I make from Tried & Proven recipes on here

Dads can be set in their ways, Is yours learning anything from what you do Peterpan?

Hi Tim,Yep only doing this Turbo,then into the TPW.Damn,I should have been doing this years ago.Looks like its a real hoot. :smile: I really love the atmosphere in this Forum.Well done to all the Head Poobars,and thanks for the warm welcome :happy-partydance: Regards Rusti

Welcome mate.
After the TPW you should give the Weetbix one a crack.

Plenty to do around here :D

He has just run his first TPW but was disappointed with the amount he got so in his wisdom he has mucked around with the recipe by adding more sugar and tomato paste to a second wash " to get more " he said.
Doh!
He is 84 so change is difficult

If he's worried about the quantity difference between TPW and Turdbros, I wouldn't bother trying to teach him cuts!

So many people on this hobby really do look for quantity over quality. Told old mate turbo/essence fan here in town about cuts and he looked at me like I was a fuckin' idiot...

My Turbo wash will be distilled tomorrow and if its no good,I know a few arseholes I can give it to.They drink shit now so a bit more wont hurt.Mind you, I wont completely punish myself and go without.Silly I maybe,....mad Im not :laughing-rolling:

Hell, has it been that long since I posted.???I now have two fermenters on the go so Im kept fairly busy with that yummy TPW :dance: Had to put up a security fence and deadbolt all the doors to keep them free loading mongrels out :laughing-rolling: Having a ball, oh and a few snorts as well. :happy-partydance:
