Newbie from South Africa

Post by Daneel »

Good day all

My name is Daneel Du Preez from South Africa.
I have been looking at becoming a distiller and thought this might be the place to start.
I don't have a still yet, I thought I would come here and read up on the subject before I take the plunge and build one.

I hope to learn allot and suck up some knowledge from the pro's.

Welcome, man. What would you like to make? Good luck against Scotland at the weekend - they’re often tougher than you expect. Mmmmm, Scotland.

Welcome to HD! You're in the same boat I was in when I started, you're in the right place.

Welcome Daneel from a fellow Saffer. You are in the right place. Read a lot here and do watch out for fokelore at home.

If you look at the right places you could build a still quite easy even in RSA.
