Hey everybody

im new to distiling. I like beer whiskey, rum and fruit brandy.
I made my first batch of fruit brandy that went well and a small batch of corn whiskey. Got help from my uncle to distill everything since he is doing home distiling since he was little and has a pot still.
Im aging my whiskey with oak chunks to see results quicker if it will be any good.
Am also intrested in trying a rum run.

Hello and welcome!! I wish I had someone in the beginning, it would have saved a lot of trouble...not that I'M trouble. I had NO idea what was involved, but thanks to the advice and patience of these guys, I have come a long way.
