Howdy!

Post by Cornfield »

Been reading here for a couple of weeks and decided I would join this fine community. I'm pretty much a beginner at this and this is a good place to learn so here I am. My grandfather made a living at this, my uncle died from it and well, here I am! Already got my still, just gonna run something simple thru it for a good cleaning then I'm gonna dive in head first.

Greetings, Cornfield... Keep a low profile, trust no one, only produce for personal consumption, stay off the radar, and you should have no problem enjoying this hobby... Good luck...

Thanks for the welcome folks. Just for the record, my uncle died from outright abuse. A case of beer and a quart of shine a day will get you in a few years.
On a different note, this forum is great! I have learned a lot already from reading it. Looking forward to getting started. :)
