Another member from the Pacific Northwest in USA

Post by Lawrenceburg Native »

Hello everybody. Distilling is a great activity and this is a fantastic site. I am proud to be a member of the community. It seams there are several of us located in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
I am getting ready to run my first spirit run with my friend and it is only possible due to this forum. Thanks everyone!

I would just like to be able to produce a few different spirits for myself and my wife. She likes vodka and I enjoy bourbon and other whiskeys. I would also like to produce a decent gin for the summer at some point.

Have just recently produced 6.5L of low wines from 2 row malt using a bokakob design he called "2-cups" still. The column is a 2" at about 1 m in length.

I plan to make the fine spirits distillation in the next couple of days. At some point, it would be fun to swap product with others. It seems that is a long time from now however.
