Hi from Louisville

[matt_b]

Hello all, I'm from Louisville KY and brewed beer for several years. I've started to really like bourbon, and have a few friends with distilleries. So I thought I'd try my hand at this noble hobby. I recently purchased a T500 still, and a pump and 50 gallon barrel for cooling. So far I've made simple sweet feed shine, which turned out pretty nasty. But I'm a fast learner, especially for such a good cause!

I have several 14 gallon barrels of mash fermenting and will post how each works out. I'll also get some pics of my still worked up, once I find it a permanent spot.

Cheers,

Matthew
