Hello from the Frozen Tundra!

Post by SwampRat »

Hello,

I've been around stills most of my life (mainly families stills) and now its my turn! I did a little distilling out of the country and now I am home and looking to refine what I have learned! I looked around this site and I see ALOT of good info here! I can't wait to get my own still going and I am looking for recipes and/or guidence for making anything with maple syrup (I make that as well!) or anything that resembles Southern Comfort...

Thanks in advance for any help and for putting up with a newbies questions!

Welcome aboard.

I have always wondered about using maple sap as a foundation for a distilled spite.

Greetings, SwampRat...

Many here have stilling in their family heritage and don't want to see the art of home distillation disappear...

Good luck...

The name "SwampRat" is due to the fact that I am in the swamp North of the Frozen Tundra!!!
