Sorry to hear about your loss, nothing worse than losing a child or grandchild. We are not meant to outlive our children. Our granddaughter years ago when just a baby was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and spent several trips to the hospital. Different stages but she had it almost to the stage it w...

We are expected to get new snow this afternoon or night. I am so ready for spring.

+1, this is a extremely important comment!

I like those mesh or wire covers for moving the carboys around. Would be a lot safer. They sell handles for car boys that also make it easier and safer. https://www.brewinternational.com/carboy-handles/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw6yuBhDrARIsACf94RXD7AFxZlyjU9rvXQ0AZDqNIBVl4XW91PhBpxZNuni0RLWv_...

I usually recheck my choice the next day after my taste buds have had time to recover. I have changed my mind, but not very often. If you are in a hurry to put something in the drinks cabinet, a narrow cut is the wisest choice. All good advice, the only thing I will add is nothing is thrown away if...

Don’t currently have anything on the calendar but it is my son in laws birthday so not sure if the family will have plans or not.

Been having amaretto mixed 1/3 each with baileys and whiskey which makes a drink called a duck fart. Put them in small class and store in freezer to keep cool. When we are at our condo in the mountains we drink one after dinner each night.

Happy Birthday Ben Stiller, we are at our condo in the mountains but sure I have something I can drink to toast your special day!

If I am able to attend this year I might have to bring down an extra bottle for my wife’s cousins in hopes they will allow me to stay at their house on Lake Sawyer.

Welcome, you will soon be producing that you will be proud of just start out with recipes in our Tried & True section.

The beauty of a worldwide forum is you get information on products you would probably never try. Thanks for the informative post. If I decide to try it, it will depend on how hard it is to get the ingredients.

Column height sounds about right, as for how much packing here is a link to my homemade packing. Read to the end as I added more as needed.

Welcome, my wife and I visit her cousins in Norway about every 3 years. Have yet to visit Finland but it is on a list of places to visit. Good luck with your licensing.

Quadra, I have been to Edinburgh would like to return the gin sounds delicious. Living just south of the border I bought up to Vancouver Islalnd frequently and will buy a bottle to give it a try. My son also has rhubarb plants so might give this a go this summer.

Welcome, lots of great information here on the forum. There are some good YouTube videos and some bad ones on the subject so if you question any of the info you see, research it or ask here on the forum. Good luck with the family we currently babysit our 10 month old second grandchild.

Welcome, to first took up the hobby several years before retiring. Glad you found the forum before diving into distilling. It will probably save you money and time in the long run!

Welcome, if your close to Nor Cal Brewing Solutions they carry a large supply of both distilling and brewing equipment.

Happy Birthday EricTheRed, hope you have a great day!

I use the same gasket on my gin still, I have to make a new one about once a year.

I would like to attend this year if it doesn't interfere with my class picnic which usually falls on the third Saturday in August.

Has anyone found a clamp that would seal a 20 gallon kettle lid with a 4” column in the center? I’m hoping to upgrade to a larger size from my Mash & Boil with the copper dome. I want to make a few runs to try to fill a 5 gallon barrel with a bourbon, they make a stout to put in the barrel afte...

Welcome to the forum, we have members from all trades. My grandfather on my fathers side was also a butcher.

We are at our condo in the mountains with our family it is a tradition that we drink duck farts in the evening. Good lord .Was having too much imagery reading that Bushy . Had to google a duck fart :thumbup: We put them in small glasses just larger than shot glasses then put them in the freezer. Be...

Interesting, I hope he is successful with the law suit. If he wins his case he will be my hero!
