Re: A new youtube channel for distilling ?

I have been watching these videos by Jexz..Personally I believe he is doing a great job of opening a discussion on Youtube. He never claims to have ALL the answers and truly encourages folks to get more answers.. He even in some videos steers them to this site. Kudos Stillit!!
