Hi Folks,
I've brewed beer in the past but have never distilled anything. This is my second crack at researching this hobby but I think it's serious this time as I've bought a 50lt milk can.
I've worked around the alcohol industry for nearly 15 years now and like a wide range of drinks. Knowing exactly where most of the retail price of spirits goes has led me down this path.
I'm not aiming to "save" money but rather drink better for the same money.
So I'm looking to make rums, whisky's, vodka and gins. Initially I thought a hybrid reflux/pot still would be the go but I'm being drawn towards a 4 plate bubbler, possibly with a packed section for faster stripping runs and maybe a carter head as well. As much as I'd love to build one I'm time poor so will be buying it (that's also what's pulling me towards the bubbler).
I've picked up lots of useful info from the forum over the last week and I'm sure there's more to more come.
Cheers
