Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

I have a dozen of these which I purchased when Target said they intended to discontinue, but they are back in stock. They hold 3.8 litres (one US gallon) which is just about what the T500 produces on a single 23 litre wash. Manufacturer is "Anderson & Co"

How much they go for arsimac?

I grabbed a few 5 litre mason jars from Ned's a while ago and they do make for great aging vessels. No tap though and not really need as I just decnater into a 2 litre beaker and cut down to 40%. Rinse and repeat until it's all gone. Off memory they were about $10 each too

I am sorry I should have at least provided a link ...

Hi Arismac,
I saw these at my local target and wasn’t sure on the tap plumbing... are they ok sitting in alcohol?

I asked my local pharmacist about this and he said the fittings are not plastic but a molded nylon. Beyond that I don't know.

Looks like you could easily replace the standard tap with a stainless ball valve and silicon seal.

I got 2 of the larger 7-8L ones a couple of years back when the we’re selling them, I swapped out the tap with a stainless steel one from eBay, was easy as and I love them

I 'phoned my pharmacist mate and he assured me that there is no plastic used in the tap seals. He explained to me that I had misunderstood. They are molded silicon fittings NOT plastic.

Ikea do a 5.5 L one with silicon seal and stainless tap. About $18. Ikea online for those that can't get to the store. No need to stuff around replacing the tap or seal. Silicon is good quality too, doesn't go white went bent.

Looks good db and is stainless lid also :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I pay about $15-20 for my 5L demijohns. These ikea ones sound like a much better option for the same price, with a SS tap...
Awesome !!

I got all these at Ikea recently. The 5.5L (Forfriskning) has stainless tap and lid as mentioned. The 3.3L jar has glass lid with silicone seal. Or a clip on polypropylene lid with silicone seal. The other 2 are just nice for pouring and doing dilutions etc.

That jug looks good. Have been looking for an old fashioned glass beer jug with not much luck. My 1l Pyrex jug is awful to pour from..

Any chance of a link db?

It's from a Chinese website that I'm not able to post on here. I'm really happy with the quality and it was a good price. They've also got 2 L measuring cylinders too.

Anyone know if this one is safe to use?
