Loki , there's always a place open for you here on the farm to chill and reboot if it would help . You could burn another year of attendance into "THE LIAR'S BENCH" after your name and relish good memories . TB

You have been missed . Hope all is well with you . TB

Butch, this thread sure did grow into something interesting. Reckon I'll set a jug under the bench for the folks getting a little dry. Its another one of the jugs from the cache the boys found that I lost years ago. I think its charred COB and molasses but I ain't 100% sure. But its definitely likk...

Amazing how this thread has grown legs . For newcomers here , it is well worth your time to start on page 1 and read through the varied stories . Thanks to everyone who has contributed . TB

2 women were playing golf. On the third hole there were 4 men in front of them about 175 yards down the fairway. The first woman said “I'll tee off, he is far enough away”. She hit the drive of her life, like a shot, straight down the fairway. She screamed fore at the top of her lungs and as the me...

Been a fair policy as long as I have been here .

A blonde is just a red head that's had the fire fucked out of her . Took me a little over 40 years .

Can get like that, kids came into my care under unfortunate circumstances, sure glad they are but I have not done a lick of stilling for two years as a result. Child services were the ones that sent em here and there was no damn way I was gonna risk em going into the system. Two years on and all is...

I only keep a few calibers anymore, and I try not to add any to it...but thats getting difficult. I've always kept 5.56, .308, and 30-06. But after talking to buddies that are still active duty, I'm seriously considering adding 6.5 Creedmoor into the safe. The folks still wearing green talk highly ...

Welcome .

A friend and I have had a discussion and he is under the impression that high alcohol content, specifically above 120 proof, is safe to drink. I always heard and understood that high alcohol content, again above 120 proof, is generally considered not safe to drink. Who wins the bet It certainly can...

Cop Grandson's Cop buddy bought a .338 Lapua . Spent so much on rifle and scope that he can't afford a box of ammo . Tell me that ain't chasin the Devil around the stump .

I'm gettin on in years and SOH and I were discussing the prospect of my demise . I told her that I would be happy to go out having sex . She said that at least that way I would have a quick death . Since I haven't been stilling for a while due to family drama ; I left a half gallon of Evan Williams ...

50gal of spirit for one person for a year is insane . Even for a seasoned piss pot like myself . :shock: LOL, that's almost a quart a day. i'm pretty sure that 50 gal could last a year, but the bigger question is: could you? i guess if you had 5 gallons a year going on a 10 year aging program it wo...

Not much interest in liquor enforcement here as it stands . If this gets passed we will all breathe a sigh of relief .

I mill whole corn . It has a better shelf life than cracked corn .

Normally that would be good but she's reloading.

DUCK !!!

Welcome aboard, Richie. The problem with being new to distilling is that you don't know the difference between fact and fiction, truth , or just plain out bad information. It seems that a lot of the stuff you have watched on Youtube is rubbish. Spend your time reading here and you will learn the pr...

Welcome . Hope you meant lurking instead of trolling . Trolls are not well regarded here .

Figured I'd stop by and check on that persimmon likker, jug is bone dry. Could swore i seen a monkey ducking behind a tree, but my eyes aint as good as they used to be. SF That furry bastard will steal anything left around here . I left some green persimmon wine once and he had to steal drinks with...

Best place to be to learn . Welcome

I have a 3/4" drain that exits the side of the bottom . Valve is outside the propane burner .

Got me , too . Been contemplating a .50BMG . Like I really need that . Think of all the money you could spend on grain that you're gonna shoot up on range day at over $8 a round. That should quell the urge for a 50BMG. 😉 Point taken . I'd be better off to rent one at a range for an hour and keep on...

I've been happy with Pint's enzymes and still have a quart of each on hand . That will keep me going for a long time .

Got me , too . Been contemplating a .50BMG . Like I really need that .

Agreed . Optimal conversion is the goal to get optimum product .
