New as new

Post by Robmcd »

So very new to distilling just bought a Speekeasy pro 5gal.
Hoping to be making a batch in the next few weeks.
I have watched a lot on YouTube but any advice would help.
I am using producers Pride whole grain with no pellets.
Thanks all, Robmcd..

Welcome Rob. i'd say start with sugar shines to practice and feel your still. you need a sacrificial run anyways
i wouldnt recommend drinking from a new still.

Welcome Rob. Where do you hail from? Your handle looks suspiciously familiar.
