Hello!

Post by kim huett0823 »

Thank you so much for having this site! I am very excited to start off on the right foot with all of the information here! My name is Kim, I am a patriotic american, an herbalist, a gardener, a beekeeper, an artist, and many more things that I love to learn. I began making mead from honey and have made wine. I felt, as an herbalist this would be a natural progression into making my own alcohol for many reasons, including natural plant medicine making a I use alcohol for medicine extraction. I am excited to make this journey! Thanks again!

To add a little more, I am in NE MS, and if am starting with a 5 gallon still that does have a doubler(thumper) with it. Brand new, excited to use it! But after watching youtube, I ended up finding this site! So glad I did! I like research and like to know what I am doing first. If you are going to do something, do it right the first time!

Welcome in, kim!

Most members here study and practice this fine hobby to extract the 'essence of grains' to make medicine too, the sippin' kind!

Always practice safety and patience.

+1 if that is your name in the RW!
I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.

That’s it. No more reading!
