Welcome aboard, we try to get to know new members a bit without them revealing to much personal information. With that said can you give us a little more information such as:
What do you like to drink?
Do you have any brewing experience?
Are you thinking about buying or building your own set-up?
If do you have any set skills that you can bring to the table...(welding, electrical, manufacturing, anything to do with growing, fermenting, ex....)
What part of the World do you hang your hat ex(Europe, US, Australia, etc....)

Welcome to HD. As OtisT said wine making and chicken feed are a great asset here. I'm in CT also, wine in common here but unfortunately not to me. We are here to help but ask in the proper forum.
