It's always nice to welcome a newcomer,
That'll be you Seddo,
Forgive some of the boys getting over excited,we tend to lead fairly quiet lives here.
That doesn't mean that you are in the wrong place!

Hi All

New to distilling and not even bought a still yet , thinking of getting the T500 as I don’t want to use a flame as a heat source , not yet anyway :), well instead of asking a million questions , i will read the threads and then ask :) looks like a great site and am keen to get going (with the right advice)

Cheers All

Welcome D4nny74, I started with the Airstill, then moved on to the 500, a few of us here did likewise. You have the right idea to read all you can on the forum, any Q's just ask.. ;)
