Have been learning so much from the knowledgeable people on this forum for some time now and thought it was time to introduce myself. I bought a pure distilling reflux still from the hbs. I can already here a lot of you saying i haven't really learnt much at all. But other than the first turbo that I did have been having great results with TPW and have done about 15 runs so far. I like to drink bourbon and have already started saving for a pot still to make flavored spirits, hopefully won't be to long. Thanks again for all the help and I hope to one day be able to contribute some meaningful information to the group.
Thanks Shevs

Welcome Shevs.

Many of us started out with HBS rigs. If you run it right and do your cuts, you'll get some good booze out of it but you might find you outgrow it's capabilities at some point. Upgrading to a pot for your flavoured spirits is a great idea. If you're looking for something "off the shelf", skip the HBS offerings and look at what 5 Star have to offer. The 2" pot is a great bit of kit and will most likely fit on your HBS boiler (with the aid of an adapter). It's definitely worth saving your pennies for.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Hi mate and welcome aboard.

Nothing wrong with humble beginnings mate, most of us started with rigs like yours. Some people run these rigs for years and like what they produce so there's nothing to worry about.

All the best
