Freshie from the banks of the murray river

How are we guys
This has been a bit in the making but I'm looking to start making some tasty spirits. I have done the beer scene and come with some brewing knowledge in the all grain side of things. I'm looking at setting up a pot still on a 50l keg figure this is a good starting point and is also fairly cheap considering already have the kegs. I am also going to be on a trip to the states in February to visit the major distilleries there and trying to learn a few secrets

Anyway look forward to starting and bashing ur ears with lots of questions
Cheers :obscene-drinkingdrunk: :text-thankyoublue:

Cheers guys looking like quite the exciting little hobby and looks like it's all about the effort u put in will result in the end product u make

[Zak Griffin]

Welcome mate. It's certainly a very rewarding hobby, and you'd know from your beers that effort in = quality product :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yeah indeed although I didn't really take it serious enough but did punch out some cracking beers. This however will demand I take it little more seriously. Very interested to see what I can come up with in the whiskey and bourbon area

[Sam.]

No need to be too serious mate apart from the safety aspect.

If you can make good AG beer you can make good shine, it just takes a bit of a mindset change to some of the processes :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Misfit_brewing]

Yeah too easy. Think the hardest part at the moment is getting head around stripping and spirit runs and then cuts but I'll keep reading. Will have bout a month or two before I start to get some gear setup. Plenty of time to read up
