started getting back about 2 months ago after a small break in brewing since 1987.
originally wanted to make decent alcoholic ginger beer and the rest is history.
did a cider (bottled), ginger beer (bottled) and a LCPA (bottled), with a fruity cider on the way.
i got to notice the air-stills and realised that it could be fun distilling, especially gin & bacardi type rum.
with a very steep learning curve and a bombardment of info, i am now a bit over-awed.
i bought a brewzilla 35L a few days ago to use as boiler for beer and distilling.
the only other main equipment i have is a 420L 'fridge only fridge', so i can have 2 x 30L fermenters going and also have room to condition the last bottled run.
an inkbird wifi controller that runs a heat band in the fridge (seems to hold any temp very well)
i have bought the steel top for the brewzilla that has the 47mm hole, with the intention of adding a still.
the alcoengine reflux still was on the wishlist and realise it will only create neutrals, but was willing to try some essences.
there is an alcoengine pot still as well,i realise that both are probably frowned upon slightly, but they are very reasonably priced for newbie.
i started a TPW yesterday in anticipation, so i have a while to decide LOL.
i'm really interested to eventually experiment with botanicals and gin.
i have a small workshop, no experience with copper, but willing to try most things :shifty:
maybe i will get the alcoengine reflux and play with that, until a decide on which pot still.
meanwhile, i can learn all the abbreviations and lingo :?
