Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Just saw this - kind of a ripoff of a braumeister design, but can run as a pot still as well which is kind of cool in a nerdy sort of way - dunno what $$ they will ask and it's too small for anything I want to do, but might give people ideas about how to design something for themselves as this style of mash tun and boiler in one works well

that looks cool. thought I think they will be asking excessive $$ for it

As per the Grainfather thread on AHB

"got a reply from NZ there $1000 (NZ)$931 AUS then the tax/duty.. and they run on a normal power point..
PS..comes with counterflow chiller"

That's actually a really good price - way cheaper than the equivalent volume braumeister. Hope someone gets one eventually and does a review.

And seeing as it's an Imake unit, most LHBS's should have access to it, so the shipping shouldn't be ridiculous (or maybe even non existent)
It does no mention of autostepping for mash temps, so there would be a little more work and cleaning looks to be a little more difficult
other than that, it looks like a great unit
If I wasn't building my 3 vessel brew rig right now, I'd probably buy one once they come over and use it for brewing and distilling

Bump, anyone got one yet?

If they did one suitable to create a 50L mash I would buy one in a heart beat!

I'm guessing no one on here has bought one yet?

They are 30 liter only and are not programable...but they are a good price.
