Take a look in the "Tried and True Recipe" section for a recipe that is sure to work if you follow it closely. If you're still trying to find your way, I would recommend that you start your reading with these three sections of the forum - the "New Distiller's Reading Lounge", the "Parent site", and "The Rules we live by". These sections will give you a good understanding of the fundamentals.

To research information, use the "HD Google Search". Just enter your search terms in the search field after the "site" name. When you find threads that you think you might want to revisit, there is a "bookmark" option at the end of each page of the thread. You can display your bookmarks by clicking the "User Control Panel" option and then selecting the "Manage Bookmarks" option.

Good luck to you and stay safe,
S-C
