Saying g'day from the south-eastern side of Australia.
Tried distilling many, many years ago but did not pursue the hobby.
Started with a Still Spirits super reflux still, then upgraded to a Pure Distilling Spirit Maker reflux still (LM).
Also brewed beer....for many years (Tasted better than the commercial stuff).
A few months ago bought a Still Spirits air still and made a few batches. Also bought a few packs of turbo yeast/carbon/turbo clear (yes, I know). I've got the turbos and will use them as they're paid for. Not a bad end product when running the still at 3/4 power. With 10gm of Juniper Berries and a copper scrubbie in the gin basket, makes quite a nice drop. Am sipping one as I type...one handed.
Now to bring the LM still back to life.
Cheers,
Land of Oz

Re: Land of Oz
Yes, done lots and lots of reading and viewing (YouTube).
Never too old to learn something new.
Just started a sugar wash using dextrose instead of sugar and baker's yeast.
Took off like a rocket within 5 minutes.
About an hour later I noticed that the airlock was full of gunk so I replaced it with a blow-off hose into a jar with water.
