Hey, I'm another new guy!
From Europe, france, what a nice site you all have here.....First excuse my english which is sometimes dodgy!
I'm a novice in our favourite hobby, but I've done previously some nice stuff like different kinds of sweet wine (walnut, black elder flowers) and then a few "not too bad spirits" from melon, black elder and plum....And these days i'm beginning to make some from corn and barley...
The thing is I only have a small still that I bought in Portugal (Boiler can have about 5 liters....(sorry metric system here,...I think thats about 1 gal.)...So I'm planning on building a bigger one (at least ten gal.)...And well you all seem to know many tricks to fulfill that goal, and I'd be glad to learn from you!!!
Cheers!
Froggyshine, your English is better than many natives' . I am also a newbie but already found that even though this is a predominantly American site, the folks here generally understand metric. I prefer metric because it avoids the ambiguity between UK and US gallons etc. (Not to mention that it is easier to work with )
I never hit your problem with a file size limit (mentioned elsewhere), but I always scale down my pictures anyway to better fit on the screen and to avoid bandwidth hogging. It is easy even in basic picture editing software like MS Paint. I do not speak French and do not use Windows, so I cannot give you a rundown even in English, but look for menu options such as scale, resample, etc.
Don't worry I'll stay with the two systems to please everybody
It seems that it's only me that cannot post big pictures ....Must be my negative vibes with computers!
I'll try to find a way....Thanks a lot for your concern !! I'll work on that, I'll be happy to share these pixs of a nice alambic moving across the country.
I will surely find a computer geek who will help me for a nice bottle of melon spirit
