Hi everybody.
Thankyou all for the veritable treasure trove of knowledge here. I'm so excited I'm getting verbose, and settling in to wankerdom :)
I'm on the northern end of the sunshine coast, qld - obviously. I started my journey 3 years ago with limoncello after returning from a trip to Italy. I remember Dan Murphy's had just stopped selling the 500mL bottles of 95% rectified spirit for $60 and I was forced to make the base spirit myself. It began with a 9L converted urn and soon moved up to a converted keg. I'm unsure if the current rig I'm thinking comes under the VM, LM, or CM label or a hybrid/bastardisation of all 3? Branched out to whisky and bourbon a year back, and tried kahlua last week when the boss got cranky because I spent an entire day reading this site. Being a bit of a coffee-wanker I had all the ingredients on hand and we maintained domestic bliss for another day.
P.S. If anyone knows where to get a St. Theresa feminello tree (the one used for limoncello in Italy) from... well... I'd be very grateful
