hey, trying really hard to follow rules. I have been distilling for a couple of years. Not steady enough between my oilfield job that supports my farming habit the distilling always seems to get pushed back. I have had success with corn, tried sweet feed once I messed that up bad tasted like tequila. I am working on fruit wash now and am finding it much more difficult so here I am. Blood not running out of my eyes but maybe just a spot or two I have more reading to do before questions asked. I need to apoligize in advance my spelling and computer skills are terrible, my wife already sick of helping me with this. I believe I am a better distiller than computer operator

Hey otoothlessone.
Successful distilling has been clinically proven to improve computer skills, raise the dead, and regrow missing teeth.
I'm thinking start with a Tried & True Recipe so you're not dancing all over the place. They work, and have earned their namesake.
We can help, but start with a game-winning plan.

Glad you're here, and welcome to Home Distiller.

Welcome Gummer!

A lot of people are busting their butts to get something to taste like tequila!
You done good! :crazy:

Minimize your reading.
Once you get the ground rules and safety behind you, as @Fizzix recommended, browse T&T. Find one you like and concentrate on it.
Good luck!
