Joining the bubbler family

Postby Hick1960 » Thu Feb 24, 2022 5:56 am

I’ve just bought a FSD Neutralizer from 5Star. ( thanks Andrew ). Been reading a lot and looking forward to jumping into the bubbler world.
So to all those bubbler users out there, be prepared for lots of questions. :-D

Welcome to the club! My only regret is not buying one sooner and messing around with other stills first!

Takes a bit of setup, but they're not as daunting to run as they may seem.

Thanks southern. Only been doing this for about 6 months. Went from a turbo 500 to a pot to a Boka, now a bubbler. Wondering what the next step is.

I've learnt that bokas are worth their weight in gold. And I own a 4" and a 6" bubbler on a 300L boiler. Hang onto the boka they do an exceptional job of a neutral

Welcome to the family mate.

Hang on the the T500 boiler mate you might find it very useful to do small gin runs due to its enclosed element and boil dry safety feature

Yes. Andrew should be selling cars. :laughing-rolling:

But he did say it was optional. Thought it might be something else to look at.
