Greetings from Stockport UK
Hi everybody, I’ve just dipped my toes into distillation having been home brewing for past 5 years. Started with a “Still Spirits” Alembic Dome and condenser for my Grainfather G30. I’m starting off with Malt Whiskey and Rum as being best suited to pot still. Not sure i will have the patience for long ageing!

Re: Greetings from Stockport UK
You're just a port away from being in Stockholm! Welcome to HD, Uriah! Whiskey and Rum are great ways to start. If you're not familiar with brewing, perhaps Rum is a good way to get going and then some of the sugar heads to get yourself ready for all grain brewing, like the famous UJSSM?
Step by step, little by little.

Hi Uriah,
Don't worry to much about aging yet. Just aim to make more then you drink. Thus eventually you have enough aged product. Good luck with the adventure.
