Zak's First Bubbles

Post by Zak Griffin »

Pretty soon I'll be doing my first run with my new 4" 4 plate bubbler :D can't wait! I put down 50L of cornflakes whiskey this afternoon. Got a heap of old feints for the sac run, hopefully this coming weekend.

I am guessing this is a new still as he has been a member for almost 4 years. Looks great keep us posted on how it performs! :thumbup:

Yeah I'm a bit more active on another forum, just thought I'd drop a pic in here. Been running a 3" pot still for a few years, finally got the new still sorted.

Cheers for the kind words :D
