Welcome mate,
Certainly plenty of aussies around these parts, but you can never have too many :ewink:
Got anything brewing at the moment?
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Not yet but watching the videos and joining the forum and trying to make something at home on Christmas and make my friends and family happy. I think first I need to do online shopping of brewing products and do some experiments. Hopefully to have furniture and lighting for decoration as well!

Welcome Sarah.

We always like getting female mambers here, as some of us are old curmudgeons, and the perspective of a woman softens the tone of discussion. A welcome addition to say the least.

But you've come to the best site in the world. We have members here from all around the globe. There's a world of knowledge and experience on this site. Everything you need to know to produce you own great spirits is right here in these forums.

The hotlinks in my signature line are a great place to start your reading. Enjoy the journey.

Stay safe, responsible, and discrete.

What sort of still do you have? That might have a bearing on what is best to put down
