New Guy

Post by Gadget89 »

Hi all,

Lurker turned poster. Just got into this distilling back in April and it's been a fun new hobby. Don't know what much to share about myself as I like the outdoors, motorcycles, and a good whiskey. I get my grain from a local feed shop for corn and a local brewery shop for my grains. I'm in the VA area. Started with an amazon vevor (I know gross) and now working on an upside down keg build with a 3 inch copper pipe. Trying to figure out what type of condenser to build to put on it next. I am trying to get into all grain whiskey making as I enjoy drinking that so that's where I've spent a lot of time on the forum researching how it's all done. Glad to be here
