Hi Everyonei

Oste: Hi Everyone, i am Oste
Everyone: Hi Oste we are everyone

So now that the formal introduction is over, I will tell you all a bit about how I got into this. And where I am hoping to go with it.
In my family we have been pressing apples and making apple cider for the last 20 years, give or take. Last year we ended up with a batch that was way too big for us to be bottling and drinking it. So we borrowed a still from a friend and the result was very pleasing. Thus we have bought our own 35L copper pot still, with apple brandy in mind.
Having started researching online, I am now also quite keen on making neutral spirits, to use as a plain mixer and for making gin, somewhere down the line. So now the plan is to fabricate a jacketed reflux column, packed with copper scrubbers, and see where that will get us.

Looking forward to take part in this forum and learn from all of you.
