Looking for a winter hobby......
« on: September 13, 2009, 11:19:31 AM » |

and I'm thinking about 'moonshining'. Certainly not on a grand scale, or for profit. Has anyone here built a still? I've looked at some plans online and I think it is doable in the garage. SWMBO might have a coniption fit, but I'm not particularly worried about that right now.
Pro's and con's from homebrewers and such please.

I don't play golf anymore. Well, maybe I do sort of. I quit keeping score, started drinkning beer and I started playing better.

I thought you were going to ask for suggestions, and I was going to recommend crocheting. Personally, I like mine better....

If the still doesn't work out for ya, you could convert it into a meth lab.
