Welcome Roscoe.

This is the BEST home distilling site in the WORLD. Members here from all over the world with decades of experience and encyclopedias of knowledge. I guarantee that just about any question you can think of has been asked and answered many times in these forums. Learn to search and you'll quickly come up through the ranks.

As many have suggested, Cranky's Spoon Feed thread is the best place to start your journey. There's a link to it in my signature line. And there's a few other great links there too. Follow them and have fun.

Be safe. Be responsible. And be discrete.
