Say Hi and introduce yourself

Welcome Centre

Postby richardr » Tue Dec 20, 2011 11:45 am

I would like to "Hi" and introduce myself. I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and enjoying the posts. Came from a long time, all grain beer background into distilling about three years ago have been viewing "Home Distiller" from the start of my distilling experience and only found Aussie Distiller a few weeks ago, and I must say it is very good site with plenty of information and help for all us novices, and good to have a lot of Australian input.
I am an older person recently moved to the Queensland Gold Coast and have had to change my distilling practices because I now do not have the space I had in my previous residence. I use a 30 litre electric boiler with a "Fusilex" head and a electric keg boiler with a shorter than I would like 50mm, boka style LM/VM column, will extend the column by 400mm when I can. I handed in my driving licence which I had held for sixty because of failing eyesight caused by Glaucoma and now use a mobility scooter which restricts my travel some what, but what the heck, still on the planet and enjoying life.
Best wishes to all for Christmas and New Year and many thanks to the members and moderators for a very good site,, keep up the good work.
