Were you able to find the correct black German rye bread? Aldi's German pumpernickel produces a fine drop.

Welcome, from West BG Virginia!

Welcome from another Mountaineer! Good luck with your Grappa goal. Are you growing your own grapes or do you have vineyards near you?

Inverroche Amber Gin from South Africa is one the most amaze drams I have ever savored!
WoW!

Welcome! Keep reading and experimenting, you will get there! Enjoy...

Welcome back! Any time I look at posts dating back years I realize just how many of my own gurus are no longer visible here. The clandestine nature of our hobby has it's constraints on freely sharing personnel information. There have been some members who dropped off the site only to daylight months...

Dr. Berry's advice has me feel good for the first time in years. Knees and back are sooo much better. Eating once daily, no grain, sugar or starch. Carnivore maybe next. Down about fifty pounds which helps. Haven't had a beer in months and I am limiting the volume of whisky I sip for losing tonnage....

The Irish added the E to differentiate their fine, generally triple distilled sipping drop from the coarse, less refined firewater produced in Scotland. Their opinion, not mine. Just Sayin' I love them both!!! Family on both sides of the Irish Sea... Great post, Bushman! "His name was Gerber......

Truly! Some evil, greedy SOBs murdering people to a few extra bucks!
Every time this happens anywhere on this planet it makes harder to dispel the nasty myths entangled with the long tradition of home distilling spirits for personal consumption.

Good to know you are still kicking, Decoy! Always nice to see "Old Timers" there.

Welcome! Enjoy!

Welcome GMB! Reading and learning sounds like a great way to start! Enjoy!

Welcome from WV! Enjoy your stay!

Nice, very nice!

Welcome aboard, enjoy!

Welcome! It looks like you off to a great start! Enjoy!

I picked up an Angel's Envy several years ago, disappointing, very headsy! May have just been the batch. That bottle has gathered a lot of dust... Their rye is a whole different story, rum casks finished. It is utterly delicious and the nose is amazing. I can nurse a 2 tablespoon pour in a Glencairn...

Welcome aboard, great to have you here! Enjoy!

Tox,
Glad to see you here, the "Library of Alexandria of Hobby Distillling". Enjoy your journey, maybe, just maybe the most compelling hobby known to humanity.
Just Sayin'

Welcome Bill! Sounds like you have a good plan, slow and easy. Building a still is a lot like building a garage. You get it finished and you wish you had built it just a tad bigger...just sayin' Enjoy your journey, it is a rewarding hobby. Much like roasting your own coffee, it tastes better after a...

Mike, great to have you here! Ten gallon copper pot still with thumper will allow to graft the tasty stuff. Enjoy!

New Zealander, a truly free man, enjoy!

Great to have you here, enjoy!

Welcome, enjoy!

Alex, welcome! Must be great to live in the land of the free! Enjoy!

Welcome from the hills to your west! You are here, the hobby distiller's equivalent to the fabled library of Alexandria. Enjoy your research! The answers are here, if you are unable to sort them out, ask. Enjoy your return journey to the craft!!!

Not too legal in Kentucky. They busted Pint-O-Shine, claimed he had a 200 gallon a week operation. The news story pictures a Pint's pattern classic copper Kentucky pot still, his profile on Artisan Distillers said he operated a 20 liter copper pot still. Major operation that....not legal yet, pot ma...

Amen, Brother!

An excellent idea, Tater! With the stealthy nature of our hobby we don't know if someone simply lost interest and faded away or if they actually passed away. An on going memorial post that acknowledged those who are no longer on the green side of the turf, so to speak, would be a respectful addition...
