There is no watchdogs to keep people on track. That is the beauty of a forum. If someone gives wrong or misinformed information there are others with experience to challenge the what is being said. YouTube has a place on wiFi and I use it when someone demonstrates a how to video on appliances but I ...

I decided on the MMII over the MM3 after reading information here and on other brewing sites. The part that made up my mind was the 3 rollers would clog with hole corns.

Some people are braving it but where I go it’s pretty deep water and very exposed.

Welcome, that is what I said 14 years ago.

Don’t be too envious, they are predicting 40 mph gusts so cancelled leaving today!

I too have a hand wound mill and it's not so much the effort or the grind that bothers me, I would just like to get one that doesn't make a mess. I mounted my Corona mill inside a bucket to contain the mess. It’s been working quite well for me, and cost very little. It’s not the fastest, but it get...

Last time I talked to him he mailed me some wormwood that was a long time ago!

Going down to the boat tomorrow to get it set up for the opening of shrimping season this weekend. We have a 3 day opening. With 4 licenses we should boat close to 1000 shrimp.

As NZ mentioned you should be able through a couple trials get close. Just a quick search I found that it is bottled at 30 percent and as the label indicates the Satsuma juice is combined with Bayou rum. Thus a little more research and you should get pretty close. On another note, I have never tried...

I taught Design Engineering and had a CNC machine, a 3D printer, and a laser printer. If all you want to make is plaques you might look at laser printers.

Same here SB, it has been a while since I made Birdwatchers and most recently only for redistilling when making gin.

I did the same thing with mine. Also made a backup just in case it fails at some point in time. Mine is a 6” diameter that covers my 5 gallon milk bucket that I use for gin.

I agree with Yummy on using PVC mainly due to cost. After having said that I went from Carboy’s to 6 gallon plastic fermenting buckets and siphon into the boiler so no valves involved. I have never used the large fermenting vessels others on the forum use mainly due to a large portable cart I have i...

Not sure how many have seen this show? My wife and I are on about the middle of season 5. Anyway, I'm calling BS on the sloppy way in which these dudes are pouring the Meade. These guys are spilling more than they drink. Also, so far not one mention of the process in spite of how frequently they dr...

Welcome and what Swedish Pride said. I got into the hobby looking for something new before retirement planning ahead. Enjoy the journey!.

Happy Birthday AC, I will also toast with a local drink tonight at dinner while on vacation.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of us from the PNW.

Happy Birthday Cranky, bringing you birthday wishes from Portugal. Getting down to the last week of my vacation and should be home with full wiFi again. Hope you have a great day!

Welcome, I believe during the lockdown many people were searching for activities to keep them busy. Glad you found us.

Welcome Don. I think you’ll have a lot of fun in this hobby. Gin’s the easiest thing in the world to make in small doses. If you head down the path of aged spirits it helps to have a larger still so you can make more in one go. Good luck out there. What’s PNW? Welcome, I don’t know anyone that has ...

Good one NorthWood and thanks for the heads up, I won’t be sharing it with my wife.

Welcome from another PNW member!

Welcome from a member just south of the BC border.

Sometimes I wonder when I see one of my posts the next day!

Welcome, sounds like you’re off to a good start. The PNW is well represented on the forum.
