Hello from Matt

Hi, My names Matt. I've been watching Whiskey Tribe videos on youtube for a long time and enjoying where they see if certain things will ferment. One day while down the Youtube rabbit hole I saw a video on making your own Gin with the Airstill. This sparked my interest and I've spent the last month reading and watching HEAPS. I soon wanted the T500 to try my hand at but hate buying things that I might outgrow or not be able to upgrade. I then got onto the 2" Boka from FSD after reading a lot about the quality of the neutral spirits.

I really keen on making Gin but after watching a number of Rum and Whiskey videos I decided I needed a decent pot still as well. The 4" modular options seemed to kill 2 birds with one stone and give me plenty of options depending how far I want to take this hobby while also increasing output for a similar time invested. So I've gone from wanting the airstill to the FSD neutralizer with a 50L keg / milkcan option.

I'm excited to start and have read up a lot on the safety side of things. I just have to wait till funds allow for me to buy the gear I want. This forum has been one of the best resources for my reading and I'm grateful for everyones posts.
