Welcome to the forums!

Hi,
I am a novice distiller from the Wet Coast of Canada. Starting off with an air still for now. I've done one run of wine that had been stored in dubious conditions. The results were... educational. I tried to split up the run and now have my first inkling as to what foreshots, heads, hearts, and tails are like. Far to go and much to learn, but smelling and tasting really brought a lot of read information to life. I ended up with a fairly drinkable bottle of 40%.

I do want to thank Jimmy for hosting this, everyone (well, mostly it seems now) for behaving is such a mature manner for the Internet, and AidenMac, Mozr (and a few others whom I forget now) for such useful and informative posts. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of weeks of reading and learning. You are a great group of people!

Hello all

Complete novice here, been reading the forum for about a week to ten days or so and can say I'm hooked. Have read books worth of threads so (hopefully) I will not waste your time with noob questions.

Have no equipment at all but I'm pretty sure I'll be sending off for a shed load of stuff soon. Having a bit of disposable income to burn, I'm looking at the T500 straight away.

Thank you to all the wise men and women(?) who have posted all the invaluable information I've read so far and that I will continue to read.

Looking forward to my journey.

Welcome Billy!

I have been at this since March, and it has been a very enjoyable journey indeed! If you can, save some of your product in small jars as you go along. You will be amazed at how much better you get over time. It has only been a few months for me and I taste some of my early "good stuff!" and tip it down the drain. I look forward to doing that for years to come.
