I started out building a nixon stone desighn and flavouring neutral,but wanted to get away from essence after a time ,tried useing it for flavour but was never happy with the results,the length was awkward and adjustments were tricky wich made consistent results difficult,wich is about the time I came to Aussie Distiller.Macs modula desighn inspired me as it gave rise to the possibility of haveing one still that could give me fine neutral and plenty of flavour with the benefit of quicker production and ease of operation ,I couldnot deny the fact that distillers across the globe were useing bubble plates for quality flavoured spirits and packed columns for neutral spirits,but I had to put a little of my own spin into the desighn,I liked the simplicity and ease of operation of the LM desighn,so built a LM head to go on top wich combines the reflux condencer and product condencer with a parrot that is water cooled,the cost was more than one still but the results in both departments have been nothing short of awsome (a term I rarely use) production time in both area's has been cut by about a third and quality is better with great consistency.And just ta confuse the issue I have just built a thumper that has only made my outcomes even better in time and quality,she (the southern cross) is pumping out over 4.5lt/hr of super quality with 36oowts from an 18gal boiler and 5gal thumper.just my 2cents worth.cheers for the inspiration Mac feel free ta post the pic ya took in the shop.hillzabilly :handgestures-thumbupleft:
