Home Distiller

Some of you may have noticed I haven't been on here much lately.
I've been busy since I retired, and recently I got an opportunity to do a little work-camping a few hundred miles from home. This experience has the added benefit of me being a few hundred miles from my liquor stash until the end of October.
I put up my last batch of whiskey in March.
When I get home much of what I made during the fall, will have sat for a year, and many of my BadMo barrels will be turning 2, and on will be turning 4 years old.
My SBB rum should be about 9 or 10 months in the barrel by then, and ready for a taste.

Sounds like a fun time and your whisky will be nicely aged when you get back home, win, win!
Enjoy, we will see ya when ya back

Can’t drink it iffin’ ya ain’t there! Congratulations on your retirement and new found aging process. Try not to work too hard Deplorable

Good to hear from you D. I was thinking of planning a distillery crawl in Portland sometime in September. Will you be done with your camping by then? Would you be interested in coming down for that?

I'm in Cashmere until the end of October. Unless my wife decides she would rather live somewhere he allergies, and her joints do better, at which point we'll start looking at properties on this side of the mountains

Don't know the reason for you wife's joint issues. But I was starting to get a sore elbow every morning. Took a couple of hours to get it fully working. My grandfather swore by alfalfa so I started drinking a cup of alfalfa tea every morning. It took about three months, but have not had a sore elbow for the last 7 months.

I harvested my own, dried and stripped the leaves from the stems. But I am sure someone sells it as well.

I've heard from others that alfalfa tea is good for joint health.
Just being in the drier climate has helped my arthritis in my hands immensely.
I'd move over here in a minute if I could get her to agree.
I'll keep working on her all summer...

Well there is an alternative solution to your dilemma about aging and hoarding stock.
Just drop your address.
I'm sure some of the members could, drop by, make sure it's all safe, sample and send you updates on how the aging is going.
Cheers
