Howdy from Ol`Hootie "\_(;_;)_/"

Post by HootOwl »

Howdy just starting to learn got a good deal on some nice kettles from a local Asian restaurant and its like they spoke to me.
I plan on making some moonshine and flavoring it peach and blueberry mostly. Anyhow I`m a computer tech but I`ve done allot of jobs.

Hahaha nice one Salt :lol:

Welcome to the forum Hoot, it's good that you know your way around a computer, now it's time for some reading!

Chew through the links at the bottom of this page, then head over to the build section to see what you can do with those kettles.
Then it's time to browse the T&T.

Enjoy
