Hello. I'm a self employed craftsman in north Texas. I find it enjoyable to "do it yourself" and have been wanting to start this journey of distilling for a very long time. I have brewed some beer from extracts and loved it. I don't know what else to put but ask away and I'll do my best.

Always good to see another member from Texas. Welcome in. What kind of liquor do you want to make?

Jb, I have to be honest and tell you that I’m not a native Texan but am doing my best to earn the title.
As far as what I want to make goes, what don’t I want to make. I want to learn and experience all I can. Special interest in 100% corn and all grain with a curiosity in fruit brandy.

That's OK,I don't hold the non native status against you. You got here as fast as you could...
For the 100% corn check out the booners casual corn recipe in tried and true. Fruits can be as simple as fruit juice or as complicated as picking and juicing your own fruits. I do a batch of wild persimmon brandy every year that is very tasty.
