Home distillation - how do you get started?

The Pure Distilling starter kit has everything that you need to begin distilling at home. 

With an Australian made Pure Distilling copper reflux spirit maker condenser (copper is a better conductor of heat and removes sulphur compounds which stainless steel won’t) and a Still Spirits 25L T500 Boiler made from 304 grade stainless steel (it features dual element control switches, a stainless steel ball valve tap & an automatic reset switch) - this is quality hardware.

The kit also includes all the ingredients to make a wash for distillation.

Hey legend - depending on what you are distilling at home you may need to get a licence from the Australian Tax Office.
