Welcome to the club HDNB..

We are not all in the ward yet, still some energy left to brew something yet, and taste the outcome..

Funny coincidence: past week the minister (Secretary of State ?) of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands resigned.
He had heard a story of Poetin in his datsja talking to the CEO of Shell and he stated that he had been there himself. But that was not the worst: he exaggerated the words of Poetin and made them seem way more agressive. Which of course for a minister of Foreign Affairs is a very evil thing to do. The CEO denied Poetin had said that, on top of that.

Of course journalists tried to take this a step further and one came up with this study:

I could not yet get the whole text, but the keywords are Borrowing Personal Memories, if someone wants to try and read it.

I guess I'm fortunate, Some years ago I got hit on the head by a museum...only it wasn't a museum at the time but it was made into one a few years ago...anyway I got hit on the head by a large heavy object. On top of an already deteriorating memory this gave me a case of CRS ( Can't Remember Shit ) so I have trouble remembering things like names, faces, and people who have offended me in one way or another. I believe whatever people say on this website, whether its the truth or not and really don't care much one way or another as long as it doesn't do any harm.

cranky I think you're somehow lucky in your misadventures. Seeing what the world is becoming at an exponential rate, I think it's sometime better to forget a bit about that ! :)

To answer some question I got: My distilling experience:
29 april 1975: I distilled about 3/4 liter of rhubarbwine. Resulted in about 10 ml distilate.
29 april 1975: about 3,5 to 4 liter beer. Took 4 hours of distilling, resulted in 34 %ABV. But I do not understand the rest of the notes anymore.
I had a iron still of about 7 liters with a riser of 50 cm long and 28 mm wide, ending in a 9 mm wide copper condenser hanging in the air.
Next run:
20 june 1975: about 1 l of sloe wine. Can't find the result.
6 oktober 1975: 3.6 l of about 7 % beer, resulting in 0,8 l of about 30 %.

Need I go on?

No recipes either, mostly posting off topic with information gleaned from others hard work and research, often posting others links/threads, while critiquing them through web info, not actual application and production.
Always posting common pics from other sites, claiming as theirs..Always claiming success. :problem:
Then when caught (because there is NO Way to fake), they go to other forums that accept that fraud.
I know one of those self believed non confirmed kinda guys on another group. His process is simple, 5g distilled water and a packet of bakers yeast. Great fermentation! Always gets a 2 liters of 40% the best neutral spirits you can imagine!

Thanks. But I don't see the point. If I post rubbish, I will be corrected soon enough. If I post sound information, I should be believed.

The funny thing is: a lot of people who make such a fuss about believing me, do readily believe in a collection of made up stories about some unproved being that is supposed to have created the whole universe and at the same time bothers about some little, randomly originated beings on a small planet in an insignificant stellar system in some far away galaxy.

I think it is not worth my trouble or attention, to be honest.
Let everybody decide for his/her/its own what to believe.

Some people don't believe my life story. All I know is, one time someone (high up in government) tasted my rye whiskey and became completely obsessed. So much so he started his own distillery and tried for years to replicate my rye whiskey to no avail. He vowed to get my grain bill and procedures. Years more go by and it had finally pushed him over the edge, if he couldn't have it nobody would and his would be the only whiskey you could buy. Old George (oops) took action. And that is how the whiskey rebellion started.

No, you don't have to believe each other! But you have to be able to separate the Gems from the BS and make your own decisions about what to try or leave alone.
