You mean this?

The internet poses a threat to the health of Australians who use directions to build and operate stills.

The design is not always good, alterations are made by the builder and because he has trouble sourcing the correct parts and operating instructions from the other side of the world, it may not be appropriate
for North Queensland.

Home distillation exists in Australia because of the ready access to information on the Internet.

Brew shops represent the only structure able to give correct information for the particular piece of equipment. We believe that licensing of brew shops and staff is the answer.

Meanwiile, it is still a criminal offence to distil alcohol in Australia without a licence

Well, rolling on the floor in hysterical contemptuous laughter is the only appropriate response.

To suggest that the online forums like Homedistiller and those at Yahoo don't know what they are doing, and only the brew/still shops can offer quality design stills and stilling advice, is so far from the truth it is almost criminal. The reality is the complete opposite.

The fact that he spends a large chunk of that webpage talking about carbon filtering says a lot about the quality of spirits his products can make.

I'll put the average still here up against the average still from the brew shops any day. And the stilling advice here is way better than anything the still shops have. (Not to mention our final product being better than the commercial stuff.)

Gee, I wonder if they are trying to drum up business with a FUD campaign?

Ya think?

[woftam]

yes

fun for today some will put anything on there web page

I think old mate gregs a KNOB of the first order and have had a gut full of the miss information spread by money hungry Idiots in home brew shops putting peoples health at risk

[Dnderhead]

I thank they should have first hand knowledge be for making comments like that

[Tater]

hell of it is -- trash like thats printed by fokes like that ( and law enforcement). No one in the know prints anything back so readers take whats printed as fact.Some of you fellas who are gifted in the art of gab should write us up a nice true full informed paper on home distillation.Then those interested could have them printed in newspapers maybe sent to local news stations.

As the French say, he "farts higher than his ass."

I'll put the folks at homedistiller up against any distiller on earth.

I entirely agree Hook, But I don't really believe that they would be trying to drum up business. What a cynical thought.

I went to my local home brewing shop for some DAP and the bloke just looked at me like those cows who look at trains. Had no idea what I was talking about!!!

I'm infamous in my social circle as the skeptic and cynic. But I am a constructive one.

He he. I had exactly the same experience in one local brew shop, asked for DAP, blank bovine stare, then I asked for yeast nutrients, and he pulled out a Turbo! Lastly, I explained to him what plain yeast nutrients were, and he said "Never heard of them", so I never went back to that shop.

Sometimes I am tempted to start up an online stilling supply business, nothing fancy, just the basics and straight advice. I couldn't do any worse than these 'professionals'.

Not a bad idea there, tater.

I wonder how the many past generations of distillers ever managed without "knowledgable" brew shops around. I have stopped going to mine for anything but corks because all they know about is Turbo's and essences. You would think these folk would be at the top of their game, but sadly not.

More than have managed with them. Brew shops have only been around for this generation, we have it made.


A couple hundred generations before us without anything except what they had on hand. We owe them a thank you.

It was not that long ago that home brewing was illegal just like distilling is to day ( though a lot of people had fruit that" spoiled" : ) in their back rooms though I do not remember any buddy getting arrested at that time you could do about any thing you wanted as long as you kept it to your self
