Hi, I'm Matt.

Based in Melbourne, started in Jan 2023 and a lazy distiller.

My distilling kit currently consists of a T500, AirStill Pro and awaiting delivery of a My Vodka Maker from South Africa

moved on from Turbos to TPW and TSFFV and UJSSM
knocked out my first gin the other week and loving learning new things

Welcome Matt
Let the fun and games begin :).
It is a great hobby and can consume hours of ponder time , time where you consider what you might try next. That is called research not day dreaming or lazy lol

G’Day Matt,
Have a look around and enjoy your stay

Thanks!

Welcome along mate.

Had to look up that Vodka making machine.

Be keen to see how you go with it once it arrives

Hi Matt,

I also looked up the my vodka maker. Its quite interesting. - I'm dumbfounded by the angst against still automation in the community. (That and plastic)

I would be keen to see some pictures of the insides ....

Its very new with not much information about it.
What I can piece together
Spiral condenser
Packed with ss spp
Multiple take offs
Heat exchange between condenser and input
Low power probably to help control temperature
Three or so stage condenser
Tiny boiler
Air cooling
Continuous input

When it works it will be pretty awesome.

Have you got a link to this magical machine ?

Thanks, never heard of these , now i know why :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Yeah the names not inspired, but the still is. Or as you say 'magical'.

Keep me updated Matt, I'm keen to see how it goes. Looks like a great idea.

Looks and sounds like a reinvented air still

How so?

Directly from their site:
MyVodkaMaker Is The First And Only Automated, Countertop, Air-cooled Continuous Still To Allow Anyone, Regardless Of Technical Skill Or Experience

So your looking at around $800AU for a little 250w air still that can process a 20L wash in a day

Hi Matt,

How did the My vodka maker go?

-Todd

Still awaiting delivery, ordered 17th November 2023 = eeekk

Very interesting little still. Hope it turns up. I'd like to see how it goes.

Welcome Matt!!

You've got hours/days/weeks/etc of 'research time' as Wellsy said!!
