Top of the morning to you

Post by Eddie Haskel »

Happy St. Patrick's day to all! I have been a home brewer and wine maker for 20+ years. Wanted to try something else and love my bourbon, so I though I might try to make some. Still reading and figuring things out. Just meet someone that use to be a moderator here and they are going to help me out making my first still. Looking forward to taking in tons of info here.

Cheers

Eddie Haskel

Eddie you are a lucky joker! If the HD Goddess is going to help you with your still, you are WAY ahead of the game already. If you are sweet, perhaps she will mentor you in a few of her secrets as well.
Best of luck!
