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.
Be easy on a newbie!!

Re: Howdy!
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.
