Brand new to the craft however that still you describe begs to differ, I sense a story behind how you came into possession of a such a beast while being brand new...do tell

Hello Harold
Lots to learn. The newbies section is full of useful information. You will probably find that you need to read everything several times (at least) to make sense of it!
Have fun!

Cheers

G'Day Harold :handgestures-thumbupleft: Welcome to the forum mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Mate as you say you are totally new to this and will have a plum brandy to run you are welcome to come for a drive up where I can show just how it's done off grid style :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Then we chat about your setup and how you plan to get it done as starting out from scratch there is a lot to learn mate.

G'Day Harold, :handgestures-thumbupleft: Well mate that plum ferment is finished and left to clear for a week so Saturday is the planned day for the run. Last night I mentioned to SWMBO about needing a gas bottle to do the run and got home tonight with a bottle left beside my shed :laughing-rolling:

3 more posts to go mate and get them done so we can get the PM going for the address etc :handgestures-thumbupleft:
