Wrong ... not paying excise is the wrong side of the law.

Sorry Arismac but distilling alcohol without an excise manufacturing license does put you on the wrong side of the law. Not paying excise would put you further across the line as would simply owning a still with a boiler greater than 5 litres in volume without permission to do so. There's probably a number of council laws and state liquor licensing laws being broken too.

I had a good read of the laws recently as I was toying with the idea of getting a permit to produce but not sell. For what its worth to me its just too much rooting around with paperwork etc.

State laws may prohibit that, I think (could be wrong it's been a while since I looked into it) QLD law only allows for 10% of product to be gifted or sold at cost for friends and family etc. Which means in QLD if you're going to go legit you must sell your product.

With this in mind, is there a possibility of mentorining visits?
To explain, I am a 57yo semi retired bloke who is upgrading from a T500 to a plate/bubbler.
If it were possible to visit a member while they were processing a batch on a bubbler I reckon I would gain far more knowledge in a few hours than a year of internet searching.
I don’t want to become BFFs or poke into anyones business but I wonder if it could work.
I know the BBQ set has Masterclasses by pitmasters and that might be a bit hard for distilling but local mentoring might work.
Just a thought.
