Having lurked here for the longest time I finally decided to sign up and now Doing the Welcome Post thing.
I've been all-grain brewing and growing hops for the past 15 years, growing my own grapes for the past 10. Found that no one likes the IPA's and Cabernet I love to drink so could never get through a batch of beer or wine before it soured.
Have always aspired to get out of my desk job and produce alcohol as either a career or the very minimum a side hussle.
Recently decided to stop talking about it made the switch to Whisky and Brandy. Bought a cheapy 3" Bubble Plate off of our Chinese friends to dabble to try the hopefully going legit one day.
I've thrown down a few batches already and have been researching forums and textbooks. My sense of smell is pretty under developed so making cuts is easy but the blending is definitely a challenge! Especially on the Bubble Plate where most of the literature is on Pot Still operation.
Anyways, Hi All!
