Hello from the Netherlands

Post by Willem »

Hello to all of you,

I started brewing some beer a while back, but got bored of it pretty fast. I then started to read about distilling and am very interested. I am however very broke and I am trying to build a still for under 20 euro. I will start with my glass bottle condenser tomorrow and i will probably be asking safety questions on "Condensers/Cooling Methods" which I believe to be the correct topic (correct me if I am wrong).

Did you contact the two Dutch fora?
I think support from other countries and especially from across the ocean is hardly of use for you. Even if/when it is well meant and motivated. Especially when you are in a hurry.

And by the way: what is a glass bottle condenser??

Thanks for all the welcome messages

Kareltje, I have looked at the dutch fora, but I found it more appealing to be in a bigger community. You'll see about the glass bottle condenser...;)

Whotan, it isn't me in the dutch forum. Willem is pretty common name. Just sayin.
