If you're excited about this: please be careful. Amateurs can give themselves methanol poisoning. If you're going to do this, educate yourself

I'll also make a wider hopeful political observation:

This is a country that once made #alcohol illegal. It was stupid. This is the final nail in the coffin

Meaning:

Stop believing the #USA's ills are eternal

Some changes just take time

@benroyce I learned how to make moonshine and other distilled spirits from my grandfather at a very young age tending to his still. He operated stills from the late prohibition years until he was around 75 years old. Both me and my brother operated stills well until the early 2010s until both of our health declined.

But yeah, the first out of the drip arm/spout, for moonshine, is deadly or at least can really mess your brain up. ;)

I should have several posts about it, but here is one:
