Hey warrior, like Yourself

I'm in the uk. And started distilling about 6 months

ago, I went straight for the super reflux starter set from wineworks

and have learnt so much from it, there was a steep learning curve

at first but practice makes perfect and now I'm experimenting further

in the field. It depends on what u want to do, wait till September for the

beast or start from the super reflux/air still and move upwards and gain experiance.

I will be getting the t 500 when it comes out over here. Untill then, vodka

anyone??

BOR im fancying the t500 too, was goin to have a go at building goinbroke2\'s still design but am strugglin to find a steel beer keg to make the boiler, its a chep design tho so maybe ill do both.

voddy would be gr8 thanx but im currently involved with a rather large end of a busy week brandy (ss classic brandy mmmmmmmm imo)

[Bottleofrum]

yea hoppinmad I too thought about making goinbrokes2

still. But have searched hours on the Internet for a beer keg

. It seems u can buy one of a brewery , but I\'ll pass on that.

I\'m going to wait untill the t 500 comes to the uk.
Enjoy the classic brandy

Hoppin i noticed This on ebay, seems kinda odd as well he gives you a parts list etc lol

Well it certainly looks like a handy \"kit\", as it\'s a PITA trying to source some of the parts here in the UK (ha! funnily enough, I\'ve got a barrel - a friend found it in a scrappie in the west midlands - pretty good nick, not many dents/scratches etc should be good for a 9 gallon still).
I think I\'ve located most of the copperware, but it\'s being a bit of a bugger trying to find some needle valves that will fit a certain size of pipe etc...... As for pipe sizes, it seems that the largest that\'s reasonably readily available is 54mm

Good luck Phantom, I could not imagine trying to build my own still - give me a soldering iron and I will burn down the house LOL.

Half of what you say above just goes over my head.

Give me a PC and I am the man you want to fix your problems (its my job) but building things, my god I missed that boat.

[foRUM warrior]
