True Confession: I watch "Moonshiners". It was what got me interested in the "craft". To be more accurate however, actually I record it so I can fast forward through a lot of the "stories". I know it is what it is and above all - DON'T SELL, DON'T TELL! One reason I watch is I do like Mark & Digger ...

Started a new "tradition" a few years ago. "Decorating the tree" Christmas Tree.png Not many places you can get an ornament for about $2.00 and unfortunately, don't have any of my own to hang. Plus, at least in years past, following Christmas Eve services and dinner with the family, we could "drink ...

Welcome Snickers, Congratulations. Now constructive criticism. Since you are new, BEST practices is to Forget 90% of what you learn on youtube. No shortcut- read through Basic Orientation here especially A Little Spoon Feeding For New & Novice Distillers That's a start. It is very BAD form to bring ...

I know a whole lot more about that shit that I ever wanted to! Short version - started having attacks, doctor would treat & talk about diet & weight. Then I found out I had leukemia & started chemo. After every monthly session, the attacks were back & worse than ever. No answers from the docs. When ...

That reminds me of a while back when I was younger and stuff was funnier...... Married 28 years nov 20.... During my FIRST marriage, I heard one of the funniest I'd ever heard. Do you know the difference in a prostitute, a nymphomaniac and a wife? Prostitute is lying in bed looking at the ceiling a...

Back in March.
No way this is gonna last 6 months!

I thought some of you would find this "entertaining". 99% of "craft" vodka is 40% industrial spirit, 60% ad copy and cute labels. Economically nothing else makes much sense. Of the distillers actually making their own, a small percentage from what I've seen are outside the traditional bland and solv...

I wasn't sure where to put this. WithOrWithoutU2 had started a post about Rye Vodka I've looked for Rye Vodka Recipes. However, I can't seem to find any on this site or the internet in general. It so happened I just read this article in Garden & Gun Magazine. I've referred to it before. I subscribe ...

no joke

I was in macdonalds and the guy yelled out order 867. So I yelled 5309. Nobody laughed Damn I feel old Maybe an American joke? I'm probably even older and I have no idea what this is about. Confused Geoff Tommy Tutone 876-5309 I stand corrected!!! Of course MY song is much older! I hope you guys re...

You're forgiven a Senor Moment!

I wouldn't particularly want to be paid in BTC : solid risk the value may drop before you can sell them. Also there are costs associated with the sale. I agree. Unfortunately, after the fact, the option is do I want to get paid? If yes, it's bitcoin. Previous customer, will NOT be a future customer.

I have a thing that requires setting up a Bitcoin account to RECEIVE payment on a deal.
I'm old and ignorant.
Anyone have experiences - good AND BAD - with suggestions.

Seems reasonable. I am not sure where you live. But if you have White Oak in your area I can assure you there is a local saw mill that has some. :D You have to cut it, and dry it yourself. Get a few big boards and you'll be set for many years to come. I may have shared this a couple of years ago. I...

no joke.

No joke.
Helpful hints for noobs when building your still.

How about The Band
Everyone love the band and if you aint heardem you'll lovem

Can't go hiphop or even hick-hop "country"

but I'm all over Levon & The Band!

Thirty odd years ago I was living between Lafayette & New Iberia maybe 30 miles from the coast. We had a Tropical Storm come in, never materialized up to a Hurricane. I still remember the feeling, the day before it hit, standing in my front yard. The wind was already blowing steady & there was an el...

Oh why the hell not! For those who said it couldn't get any worse this year, Laura is about to land as "the strongest hurricane ever to hit Southwest Louisiana". Hope you coonass distillers are hunkered down & safe. Watching Weather & news channels, of course the idiots have to stand outside in it j...

A friend's wife - 51 years old - died earlier this week after being on a ventilator for weeks. Makes about 90 deaths ATTRIBUTED TO China virus in my county. Also talking to a good friend. His 91 year old mom is in a facility in Chicago, which is scary enough. She has dementia and early in the week s...

overcast and sort of a balmy upper 90's here.

While we're waiting to see what the two hurricanes are going to do next week.

Was honestly too fast for myself, could out-run the Police no problem 160-170. A group of 15-40, no challenge. I do not miss it. I am going for the convertible in a few. :ebiggrin: I've had a couple of bikes that were uncompleted projects. That was for the best. I know me. No such thing as "too fas...

"somewhere in the woods"

well, right out the back door. Not sure if he's after SWMBO's birdseed or he heard I have cracked corn in the garage.

Off Topic & I apologize. I don't ride but I know several members do. Perhaps they'll get a laugh out of this too. Antifa went to Sturgis this week - what could POSSIBLY go wrong? Like I said, I don't ride. I HAVE done some dumb things in my life but I never EVER even THOUGHT ABOUT kicking at a guys'...

It just so happens "on another channel" there was a discussion about blueberries. Our member @Goog replied to my question to him about him making blueberry gin. I don't reckon he'll mind me repeating it here: Thanks Goog. That sounds very interesting. How much of the blueberry comes through?: I soak...

I appreciate seeing the big garbage can for your water.
I've been using a 5 gallon orange bucket.
Changes will be made.

Welcome!
