Late introduction

[Mud Mechanik]

Sorry folks for not introducing myself a few months ago but just now realized that it is the proper thing to do. I am fairly new to home distilling and joined this forum expecting to gain knowledge of other people's mistakes and to share mine, as well as sucesses. I live in the deep southern US and own a small farm where I raise cattle and grow sugar cane for making syrup, I work in the petrochemical industry so the knowledge of distillation and fractionating is burnt into my brain.
I am currently running a 15 gallon pot still ( beer keg ), with a 2 inch stainless column 34 inches tall, and just replaced my worm condenser with a homemade liebeg to give something different a try. Have been running mostly sugar washes and bakers yeast and since joining this forum, Birdwatchers recipe has become my go to choice using distillers yeast.
The name Mud Mechanik has stuck with me over the years and was a result of many years of "Mud riding in 4X4 trucks and 4 wheelers", I used to be the one that could make a "broke down in the middle of the night, stuck in a mudhole, mashed up wreck" run well enough to get us home.
That's a little about me, and again, sorry for not posting here first. MM

I plan on it, though the harvest won't be till the fall of the year. MM

Better late then never.

I'm the kinda guy that ends up walking back home to get another truck and gets that one stuck to.

Done that a time or 2 myself.
