newbie looking for contacts

Postby dbeveridge » Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:05 am

Hi All, love the site!
currently located in north WA, started brewing 2 years ago. running a t500 and also a copper pot still head.
have recently run in to problems with removalists damaging both my condensers, the pot still is repairable but the reflux is a wright off :crying-blue:

was hoping there is some one on here who builds decent reflux condensers?

Gday and welcome.

Sorry to hear about your stills, that sucks.

It just so happens that there is a bloke in WA who makes awesome reflux stills, most would say the best. His name is mac and you can find out more by clicking on the 5 star link on the portol page.

Just a suggestion, you may want to spend some time reading up before you jump into your next purchase. There are alot of different types of stills around and alot of info on here to help you dicide. Alot of blokes have had byers remorse after seeing the bubblers.

Good luck with your new still.

Thanks for all the comments guys , sorry for the slow reply, in between working shift and a temperamental net connection it I've tried 3 times to post ha ha

first off i would like to say a huge thankyou to hillzabilly he id an absolute champion and has really helped me out via PM


Will Definitely be taking all your suggestions and reading up where i can on the types of stills, those 5 star ones look mint.

my dream down the track (still many years away) is to set up a micro brewery

and Andy, the t500 was totaled, 1/2 the plastics were broken the column was bent and cracked
