My Swan pot starter kit

Postby 1 2many » Mon Apr 01, 2013 11:34 am

Hi guy's just want to show you a pot still i have aquired , I didn't build it myself that i feel a bit guilty about cause i like to make my own things but ,I will save the building for the next step up the mighty bubbler. But i figure this will get me started in the hobbie and will learn a lot in the mean time. . I was going to put it on my brewstation over easter but never dragged it out of the shed it is buried under heaps of crap that i will need to sort out before i can fire it up in a safe enviroment lol. so i just took a couple of snaps on a keg to show you. :D

Looks very similar to something Mac may have built? ;-)

Looks the goods mate, although you want the bubbler, this will teach you about distilling what you can't read...then you will be hooked.

Good luck with your distilling. Keep it safe and clean :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Very true Brendan, no better way than learning hands on , a pot is the best :handgestures-thumbupleft: . Crow doesn't come on here anymore so we can say start with a pot then work up :laughing-rolling:
