Hi All Greeting from the Northern suburbs,
I have recently (last 6 months) started brewing spirits using a still spirit t500 with condenser on a 25 ltr boiler. I have not made beer or anything similar previously so it is all a big learning curve. I have found the forum to be a great source of knowledge and experience, and it has been a great help.
I have been making spirit using the turbo yeasts and essences, and have decided that the flavours are not to my liking. Having come across the forum, i have started with a Tomato Paste Wash, based on the recommendations on the forum and am now a convert. My days of using turbo yeast are now officially over.
My goal is to make whiskey, that is drinkable and complex. So I have started with the Nutrigrain recipe and also with some distilled old redwine to see what I can do with that is showing promise after a couple of trips through the pot still.
Im based in Melbourne in the northern suburbs and hope this is a hobby that goes well with my other passion of fly fishing.
Cheers Bob..
