Hi all, I'm wanting to start with the basics, corn liquor and no my Dad's still got passed around and it disappeared, I wish I still had it 😊 I'm just looking to make some home brew just to accomplish it for my dad, but would love to keep going after the corn. It's a fascinating subject, hopefully get up to the fruit brandy. Thanks everyone

Oof don’t tell don’t sell that’s the first thing about this hobby. Most people have no idea it’s illegal so they go ahead and blab to everyone and their dog.

Welcome aboard. Stay safe and have fun! :thumbup:
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

This has nothing to do with my personal judgment of anyone’s character, but it bears pointing out that you will want to read the forum rules here. Selling our products is absolutely not allowed. This is a welcome thread, so I won’t go into details as to why. I’m sure you can find many explanations if you like.

With that said, welcome! It’s an exciting hobby. Stay safe.
