Newbie Here

Post by bananablack »

Hello everyone, I about as green as you can possibly get. I just ordered my first still a few days ago, still waiting on it to arrive. Its a cheapie, one of those 9.6 gallon jobs from amazon. Im here to learn everything from making mash to knowing how much to discard to avoid methanol poisioning. Ive made plenty of wine but nothing else.

Welcome.
To be clear, you're just not going to "methanol poison " yourself.

Welcome, just keep reading, asking yourself questions and researching threads for answers, it's all here. It's a lot to take in but necessary to safely distill
