Dad's father is believed to have died from it. (Spanish flu). Geoff My grandpa had it. When WWI ended he was so ill he couldn't get out of bed. There was a parade down his street and his mom pushed his bed against the wall and opened a window so he could wave a little U.S. flag as the procession pa...

Spanish Flu originated in Kansas. Correction: first reported in the US in Kansas. Even the Center for Disease and Control states the origin is unknown. Fair enough, first deaths were reported in Kansas and according to a historian I heard talking about it, they think it was a Kansas pig farm. At an...

I FINALLY got around to approving Beserk.

What can I say, most people (there were 70+) who apply for a wiki account really want a forum account, and don't bother to read the big warning I put up saying DON'T REQUEST A WIKI ACCOUNT IF YOU WANT THE FORUM

I don't have this option in my admin settings under "attachments". Perhaps I will when I can upgrade the PHPBB software. I tried a while ago but it didn't work. I'll try again soon but honestly, it scares me. I got the same location information with the tapatalk-picture. Edit: Sorry. Wrong. Yes. The...

Just a quick note to say that I hope all of you and yours are safe and healthy! I'm sure we have members who have been directly impacted.

Good time to isolate and work on improving your craft!

OVZ, no disrespect to your views but through out history killer diseases of many sorts have been referred to by the first known origin, like Spanish flu or Asian flu’s in the 20th century. Then we got the Swine flu and the Bird flu. All the later are still circulating as ‘influenza A’ and still kil...

Folks, if you donated but aren't in the donor group, send me a PM. Sometimes the donations come across through paypal with no email address, or an email address I can't match to any HD username. I do my best to keep up.

I finally managed to get the account squared away so I could get the API key. Let me know if it is working.

Thanks to all of you who have donated recently! I know times are really tough right now and I appreciate the financial support a lot!

Folks, I'm willing to take this bull by the horns and get some HD t-shirts made up. Maybe other merch if people want it, but I'll start with t-shirts. I wouldn't mind a HD coffee mug and I know a few of you want HD thongs. Not mentioning any names there Tater. I haven't seen all the threads. Where h...

Well I recently joined a group for Moonshining/Home Distilling on FB, just to see what's up, and it's pretty cool to see a lot of folks making UJSSM and other recipes from HD. Not all of the things on there meet the HD safety standards, but I keep my mouth shut. You can lead a horse to water...

hey uncle jesse, I just signed up and saw this post. thank you so much for this-- I am from Magalia (above paradise) on the fire line. everything across the street from me and westward is gone. I hope your parents are okay and rebuilding is going well if that's what they chose to do. distilling con...

I sparge.

Periodic THANK YOU to all who have donated. It really does help a lot!

A while back Husker emailed me a new php file for the calculators. He said it should fix them.

https://homedistiller.org/wiki/calcs.php

I put it there. Could folks please check and see how things are working? If it works, we should link it from the wiki home page, agreed?

I like the idea of HD t-shirts, as long as the admins get one free.

I'll wear one in public. I do think that there shouldn't be any capitalization in homedistiller.org though

How's this?

Many people are registering for the wiki instead of the forum. I need a way to warn them not to register for the wiki if they want the forum instead.

Without making the wiki front page ugly with some blaring warning is the trick here.

Please do. If you start it, others can edit and improve it. I haven’t been super active recently due to some work and family issues. Those are now largely resolved and I am working on a new bourbon recipe. As part of this process I have been looking at new yeast options outside of my standard DADY o...

Hiya,

Sorry folks. The thing is supposed to update automatically but sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why, but I renewed it manually an things are back to normal.

Well done man!

First of all my hats off to uncle Jesse. I am a 3rd gen Stiller and this recipe is almost to the letter of my family recipe . We have been making it in the Appalachian mountains for hundreds of years . Personally I run it with a 30 gallon all copper pot with a dubler and it's a beautiful drink when...

Thanks so much for the recent donations! I have been ignoring my private email while trying to sort out working from home etc. I went through and sent mail and added people to the donor group. If you donated and weren't emailed or added to the group, pm me! Thanks again folks. Donations go a long wa...

So many people have gone into making this site what it is. I can never repay people for the body of knowledge! Tony did start the site, but it was rewritten by my friend who I believe has passed away, and of course Husker did a ton of work on it. I'm not good with PHP which is why I have such a hard...

Been on lockdown for a few weeks now, and looking toward at least May 3 for it to end. Probably longer than that. Bay Area in Northern California has "flattened the curve" somewhat but of course we aren't out of the woods. I have to go to work a couple times a week but my boss said only go in after ...

Perfect man. Welcome to the club of wiki editors. So far it has primarily been me and Single Malt Yintzer, who does a great job, but we need more competent contributors.

Thank you, and this is what makes the wiki so great, being able to modify and improve information to be more accurate. Please keep it up! When I rebuilt the wiki I relied a lot on whatever cached pages I could find in archive.org. Many of these are quite old and undoubtedly need to be improved, but ...

Obviously, this would affect us.

The wiki kicks ass.

Greetings from the bay area!
