Welcome ausguy from Idaho, USA,
Indeed mate, (that was my humble attempt at aussie lingo), you have come to the right place. A wealth of info and knowledge from some really great folks. Tell us what you hope to make, drink, and if you have any equipment yet.
Enjoy the forums

A good place to start is the links in my signature below.

thanks grasshopper.
i run a reflux still with a 50 ltr beer keg drum.
ive been making a basic sugar mash and usually get about 20 ltrs per 100 ltrs of wash @ [usually] 85/87% alc.
not too bad for more than 10 yrs running,but i am getting jack of the bottled flavourings you buy at the brew shops.
bourbon,rum and whiskey flavourings are all starting to taste the same.
ive made rum from molasses in the past with good results.
and ive got 2 x 20ltr drums of sugar spirit with bourbon barrel chips soaking.
but i am trying something new [to me] with grains.

it will be in my next post.

Thanks a bunch for the added info. That really helps us to know the degree as to where your at.
Will definitely be looking for your posts in another thread. Would be interested in knowing how your sugar shine ends up on the chips as well.
Later

[ausguy]

forgot to mention ... ive never sold a drop.
i brew to keep myself in drink.

Welcome ausguy
Tasted a bottle of Beenleigh's new copperpot rum couple of weekends ago and was very impressed. Liken it to Mount Gay or Matusalem.
The molasses should be cheaper up your way. Pay $28.00 for 25kg of Queensland Molasses down south here.
Enjoy the site.

Welcome mate, I used to drive past your area a few times every year heading to longreach, love that area . Sounds like you've been running a while!, should be a good supply of grains in your area?. Good luck mate.

my grandad loved that innercircle red spot.he also had a case or two of naval crown 57.7%.[CSR Limited]
ive had a bottle of his naval crown since 2000 when he passed away.i think it was a few yrs old when he had it.
i dont know how aged it is from the factory.but it has some good age on it now.
