Welcome to HD.

So what's "UP"? North? Utopia Planitia?

What do you like to drink?

Thanks for the welcome - the UP is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I'm a whiskey drinker, a long-time home brewer, and just getting started with spirits. Planning to start with a sugar wash to experiment with the new still, but expect to be working with a corn / malted barley mash after I have some comfort with the equipment.

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome. Just curious if you pointed to your thumb when you explained UP? :lol:
Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

Welcome!
My dad was from Houghton and my uncle was the AD at Michigan Tech. The family moved south when I was less than a year old and we never made it up to the UP for a visit. That trip is on my bucket list.
Hope you enjoy your new hobby.
