Living up on the QLD central coast. Have dreams of making a semi decent rum and some neutral spirit, mainly for a Gin base. Have a background in beer. Started with the kit and kilo and slowly migrated to partial grain. Haven’t brewed in quite some time but just starting to get back into it. Looking to move into all grain so eyeing off the 65ltr Brewzilla Gen 4 or 3. Haven’t decided yet. Bank balance may make that decision for me.
Inherited most of my father’s distilling gear a couple of years ago. Simple boiler 35ltr, a couple of super reflux stills, demijohns and assorted fermenter's. Also, some neutral that was made close on 23 years ago. Have very quickly found out the super reflux are not ideal for what I am chasing, and parts are an issue. I have purchased a cheap reflux column. Also brought some other copper parts to extend the column and convert it into more of a pot still as needed. My first attempt at making a wash (TPW) should go ahead this weekend. Have been reading through quite a few threads, so now know enough screw things up royally. Thanks in advance for any advice or comments.
Cheers
