mojoz from WA here
I brought a Turbo 500 about 4 years back and thrashed it hard, made a few slip ups and learned from them and eventually made some interesting brews.
Spent a fortunes on flavorings, woods chips etc and was very happy with my output.
I ran the first brew's cooling from the kitchen taps, and after realizing how much water was needed to keep the system cool i changed my plans as i live in the country and rely on water tanks and could not afford to waste so much water.
So i brought a 40 liter sturdy plastic storage tub and a aquarium water pump, then an extra chest freezer and went into the ice making business. I half filled the tub with water added an ice block and ran the intake from the still from that and away i went and it worked perfectly.
After a couple of years i gave it a rest as i had other stuff to do and i was not short of vodka, but now it's time to to dust of the cobwebs and start up again and after finding this website might learn some new tricks.
