I think its a personal taste thing. I've tried more than recommended, less than recommended and even mixed two different flavours together, just to see what taste or flavours I'd get. I eventually found one that I like and now just stick to that.

ok. thanks guys. much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. would putting a couple of bags of ice into the barrel help?

Hi guys. haven't posted anything for a while but was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to set up a water recycling unit.
I have a 200 litre plastic barrel that i cut the top off. I was hoping to fill it with water and put a pump in it, pump the water through the still and run it back to the ...

thanks mick. the mrs and love our camping but we've never tried a camp oven. might be a good way to see just how good they are. i have a few mates that use them and like everything,you can only get better with practice.

i eventually brought a z filter set up that came with 2 buckets. they must be good buckets, they cost the same as the filter.
i used it a few times but thought id packed it with too much carbon because it took so long to filter.
i then bought the pope garden filters and filled them with the carbon ...

i use the edwards scrub turkey but put 3 cap fulls instead of 2.i find it great.
then again, id probably try anything,twice.

thats the biggest camp oven ive ever seen billy.
im with gregb though, maybe we could share.

i just try to make my user name relavant to the forum im joining, thus drunkpaul. the mrs thinks it suits me though.
great idea for a thread.ive often wondered myself.

great footage warra48. the mrs and i just got back after a week at port. didn't see any koalas though.we saw some at billabongs last time we were up there. might have to look at the koala hospital off lord street(i think thats right) next trip.

thanks guys. im almost a pro now. ive done 3 batches,ha ha. im slowly working out what works for me. although with the amount of info on the net,i guess i'll never stop learning. home distiller has been a very handy place for info and i'll certainly be looking up queenslandhomebrew soon.

cheers hirns
cant wait to try a few different recipies. i got a few ideas off this site that sound interesting.
a bloke at work swears by the wood chips.does soaking the alcohol in 50 grams for ten days sound about right?

great excuse for missing work to.
what about the guy trapped in his car after crashing while drunk? was he for real?
its lower on the link page.

im with hirns and bum.good luck with everything. sounds like a great night for an even greater cause.
a bit too far for me to travel but the free maxx sounds like a nice bonus.

just a quick thanks to everyone that welcomed me or replyed to me on this forum.
finished stilling and filtering my first batch of alcohol.
it turned out great. i think it did anyway. the missus thinks it tastes like poison but she dosn't drink a lot of alcohol so what would she know.
made scotch ...

i just googled brewing spirits. found you a few sites in. thanks for all the helpful info.

thanks guys. tried folding the filter paper like in the CCA link drsmurto. ended up with a swan. haha. too easy and makes sence.

thanks hirns. its great to hear from someone who knows what thier doing.
at least i have a few ideas now. i think i'll have to bite the bullet and get a z filter when i can afford it.
thanks for the link aswell.

post still hirns. i got some high activity spirit carbon that i thought i could run through something to use as a filter.
a bloke at work said he had some pvc he'd made into a filter with a tap fitting on the end, that he filled with charchol.
would the carbon work the same as charchol?
i've read ...

like warra, this was the first hb forum i joined. i cant thank enough the guys that have given me advice, no matter how big or small.
i've always felt welcome and have and will continue to recomend this site to any like minded people.
keep up the good work people. learners like me need your wisdom.
