New to distillation, or simply new to the HD forums.
** Your first post MUST go here. Introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your interest in distilling. Any posts asking distilling questions will be deleted. **
I've been reading the forum for a while and finally decided it was time to sign up. I'm new to distilling (as in not doing it yet). I'm currently in the research phase of getting set up. I have some books and DVDs but haven't started a build yet. I'm currently in Afghanistan so it's a little hard to do out here. Right now I'm stuck to making apple juice wine. LOL A still might be a little harder to hide So like I said, I'm just doing as much research as I can so that way when I return back to the states (Maryland) I'll be able to hit the ground running. I am a complete novice here and hope to gain as much knowledge as I can so I don't either 1) Blow my self up or B) poison myslef in the process of starting this new hobby. I do plan on building my own still when I get back because the ones that I was looking at buying are about $600+ and if I put a lot of work into building my own, then the product will HAVE to taste better (whether I like it or not ) so that is the main focus of my research right now. I'm sure I will have a ton of questions so please bear with me in the process. Well hello again, and I'm sure I'll be talking with a lot of you in the near future!
There are lots of members here that know a ton and they'll be happy to point you in the right direction. Keep studying, stay safe over there and come back soon.
Welcome,

Second you will do all right by not being able to just jump in, there is alot to learn and absorb.
Last Welcome to HD, bring it home soon!
