Postby Almanac » Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:47 am

There will be no questions answered or explanations given but I am announcing my retirement from the distilling world with immediate effect.

As part of this process I am selling off all my equipment from bottles to boilers and even 100kg of Malted Barley currently in my storage bins. Later today I will post details of every item being offered for sale. I know this will not be practical for many members here but out of loyalty I felt I should offer my equipment to those I have been involved with in my distilling journey over the past few years.

Watch this space ;D

I'm still waiting for aidanmac to sober up from the week-end and admit it was an early April fool spoof,before stating how much his presence will be missed from this site.
Damn,I've done it already.

Retiring my arse. You have alcohol running in your veins. So, we will see.

On the off chance you do have the will power quit, I wish you the best. Enjoyed reading your posts and will miss them. Am sorry we never had the chance to meet, but then I am not just down the road a bit.

Again - the best of luck to you AM

As Easydrinker said, he's playing an April fools joke, either that, or he's won the lottery and has ordered an iStill 250.

Either way, I wish you the best in whatever you choose to do.
Always give the hardest job to the laziest person because they will always find the easiest way to do it.
