G'day from the Central Coast

G'day,
This is my first post on any forum of any kind! Anyway I've been homebrewing for 15 years and I'm a fridgie by trade.
I'm a lover of all things beer and single malt whiskey.
I'm super keen to build a still starting with a 50L beer keg and a stack of left over copper. I'm thinking of building a removable column for neutral spirit first and then a different pot still head for making whiskey/rum later on.
I think my holy grail will be drinking my own Islay style single malt whiskey.
Cheers and thanks for having me,
Jono.

G'day Jono,
:greetings-waveyellow:
Your brewing experience will come in handy, especially if you're planning on mashing grain for whiskey.

Dont stress too much about reusing what you have copper wise, make whats going to actually work and repay you for your building time :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking Boka/carriage to start off with to get some neutral stock and get over the initial anxious novelty factor... :))
