G'day I was born , raised and spent most of my life in the Riverland SA . I have been making beer and wine since I was in second yr high school and have always had an interest in distilling . My Uncle and his bud use to run a still ,very well too ( I used his stuff for fortifying ) I always thought he could get me started in this , Sold his property moved to the big smoke and joined the Salvo's :angry-banghead: 15 or 20 yrs latter I moved over here . No family and few friends apart from my kids my ex and her family . thought ok I need a hobby , not into stamps and shells might go back to brewing ( beer here is total and utter shit ) . anyway awhile back accidently typed still instead of sill on ebay and thought shit yes . I've agreed to buy one of those ultra pure stills they make down Geelong though this would be a good entry point for me . my first job will be to replace or modify the pissy 5ltr boiler . I have a mate in SA who is a ss metal finisher and was wondering if I could extend the boiler to say hold 30 ltrs , open to any opinions on this I think my uncle had a ss 44 gal massive over kill for me :lol: . I've been looking at these forums for awhile and was surprised at just how informative they are , only just came across this Aussie one and decided this would be the first one I'd join so I'm totally to all of this . Anyway Hi all and hope to catch ya on here down the track
