Re: new to distilling
You need to spend some time reading the different strands at this forum. I would start with the area on safety and the rules and regulations of the forum. As you read you will have questions, we all do, then ask your specific questions and experts on this site will be more than happy to assist you. For me at first it was over whelming, break it down into parts and research the various sections.

Re: new to distilling
Im a new member but have been reading this forum for about 10 months. Read Read Read. Most of the answers are here but it can be overwhelming and confusing. start with the parent site (its the 101's of distilling). Dont rush this. im as green as they come and ive been toyin with this for 10 months. its an art brother!

Re: new to distilling
Hi Dude...Welcome..Ya can never stop reading and researching,,i have spent many a late hour absorbing knowledge, Its a bit like passing your driving test and getting ya license..you only really start to learn when the instructor aint there any more..you gonna make mistakes as we all do when we first start..but never be afraid to ask. Safety First always. and don't take short cuts. you have a wealth of knowledge here at ya finger tips. and the best bit is as you learn from from first hand experience you will ask questions and maybe question how the "Old timers" do it !! (sorry guys couldn't resist
) have fun and enjoy.
Cheers
