I'm currently portraying a 40 something white male that grew up in the Midwest USA. Who likes to distill spirits for his own consumption. I had to do a lot of research for this roll.

But in reality I'm Joe lunch box. Never distilled a drop. :shifty:

47, white, english, male, libertarian with a very strong conservative streak. :lol:
I live in the socialist republic of nova scotia Canada.(just cause the wife is from here...I hate the nanny state)

I believe in the right to make my own bread, jam, beer, wine, spirits and any other freaking thing I can make with my own two hands on my own land (that I pay dearly in taxes) for my own consumption.


Did I mention I love dragracing? :thumbup:
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!

Don't think that I ever really said much about meself...

I'm a half breed, mid to late fourtees. My father was Osage Indian, my mother is a little English war bride that he brought back from the war. I am a Hillbilly American. Call meself a conservative libertarian, and truelly love how our country was intended to be... I'm a Biologist by day, farmer by night, and my SUPER POWER is the ability to clear a whole room with a single FART... :mrgreen:

57, male, the older I get the more I enjoy my redneck pleasures. Family, grillin, ATV'n, shootin', stillin', and generally disconnecting from the rat race. Today I'm finding less is more.
I'm going to try a renewable grain based lifestyle. Beer and whiskey count don't they?

Im 42 years, male and from Denmark. Like all of you i like a good drop of booze. In Denmark we are famous for our beer (Carlsberg/Tuborg), but we have a traditon for making snaps as well.Thats a clear vodkalike liquer made from potatoes and a few herbs. The most common is Ålborg akvavit 45% ABV. :D Maybe i should try to produce a few bottles of this stuff :?:

Late 20's white-ish male, born n raised in the south, now in Pa. Been brewing beer and wine from back when i was midd-teens. Married with kids. I brew for my self and friends. I sell my wine to local housewives. That funds my beer wine and shine hobby, just enough to buy a sack of sugar and grain a month.

Danespirit, my mothers family is from Danmark so I'll vouch for the quality of Carlsberg, Tuborg and snaps. Especially Ålborg. If you work out a recipe for that let me know, it's not the easiest to find in the bottlestore here

Bout 60, PNW USA, lily white cause my kin are Scots. Bake a mean Sourdough bread, half decent hoochmeister, passable machinist, half good stick welder, good Mig, horrible torch and Tig welder and a pretty good woodworker. Use to play with fast cars and bikes and guns. Now I drive slow, don't shoot anymore and just smile when I see a fast bike go by.

Running a Heartcut designed rig and lovin it.
