A 78 year old newbe

Post by oldrichard »

This is my first time here. I am new to distilling. I have been making wine for many years, and beer for about 3 years. I bought a bruzilla 35l and it makes all grain beer much faster and simpler. So I ordered the copper pot still head for it. I found your forum and it looks like this is the best place for me to learn all I can about distilling. I have been reading and taking nots, ordering supplys and getting everything I need to start with. So far I like everything I have read here. I have a lot to learn. It nice to be with people willing to share their knowledge and experience with others.

Welcome to the "rabbit hole"! A little piece of advice anyone can give on HD is to research it before you ask it. Use the "Google Search" on the top right header.
