Hey there

Post by Jeddi »

Hey guys!
If been surfing on Home Distiller for quite a while now, reading many of the articles and I figured it is finally time to join the forum and get in contact with other enthusiasts! Distilling is the latest hobby that I picked up, and I'm quite excited where it will take me.
I always liked a good drink and about a year ago I started to become specifically interessted in Whiskys and now have a small collection of six pretty decent bottles. Shortly after that, I found this side and decided that I no longer want to be a mere consumer.
In terms of distilling, I have already started some experiment. I tried different ways to make a wash, let it ferment and distilled it with my first still prototypes. The end results contained definitely alcohol (yay!) but I was not yet confident enough to actually drink what I mixed, haha. Anyway, I decided to become more serious about my new passion (in my freetime I have been dreaming about creating my very own Whisky brand quite a bit :D), so I finally joined the forum. I'm looking forward to discuss with you guys and hope that I don't bother you with my newbe questions. Who knows, maybe I will one day be able to give back what I learn here.

Cheers!

Hey there back at you.
Definitely a fun hobby whether following someone's footsteps, or venturing on your own.
Since you like whiskey, take a look at Odin's Cornflake Whiskey in my signature line below.
It's a crowd pleaser.
Welcome to you.

Howdy, come on in.

If you are looking for a recipe to get started with and that will produce some good results, look no further than the Tried and True section. Still Life's examples are good ones, and there are lots more.

Thank you guys! This seems like a really friendly community, I think I'll enjoy my time here. And the Cornflake Whisky sure looks like a very interessting idea! I think this will actually be my very next project. I'll keep you updated.
