Hello from Show Me state

Post by Enoch_Root »

Hi everybody. I've been looking around for a while and thinking about building a pot still of one fashion or another. I'm still a complete noob. I'm glad there is so much to read here while I sip on store-bought.

I live on the eastern side of the state but travel a lot to the west side of the state. I'd love to meet some other folks if there are any around.

Thanks!

I'm sure there are plenty of home distillers all over Missouri, but I doubt any are going to want to meet-up until they know you pretty well.

My advice would be to use "The Show Me State" or something to that effect as your user location. Then get actively involved here on the forum until you convince a few Missouri folks you're legit, and see what happens.

Keep reading until your ready to build.

You can't absorb enough knowledge. Once you absorb as much as you can then its a trial and error thing.

As to meeting folks.. Well as this is illegal in all 50 states it may take some time for people to get comfortable enough to meet you..

Make sure you read all the safety stuff you have access too. Its important.

Thanks for the thoughts and guidance. I do appreciate it. I suspected meeting others might take a while. 8)

I'm enjoying the reading and planning. I gotta say whenever I get stumped, some searching and I find someone else has already asked the question and been answered. There you have it. Thanks again!
