new here want to say hello!

Postby whitedog » Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:19 pm

hows it hangin now folks?

just want to say hello, and share a little about myself. Im new to this forum, but have a good deal of experience with the art. i come from a long line of moonshiners, im the 5th generation in our family. our family hails from the hills of appalachia, somewhere between maine and georgia in the u.s. my grandfather raised 11 children during the great depression makin shine. he also got busted and did a few years in prison for it, however his kids were fed and clothed well enough that it was worth it to him, or so he told me before he passed.
I been checkin out the forum for a few weeks now and quite frankly i never heard of a reflux still or bubbler until i ran across the forum. Now im not gonna break any laws here or nothin but i will be soaking up all this information you all have here, never know when i may have a need to know some of this stuff about reflux and bubblers. been awhile but used to make some wicked corn liquor with a pot still and thumper. its not like it was 20 yrs ago, people dont know how to mind their own business these days, so its now to risky for my blood, one day soon though im gonna break out the family recipe and run a few gallons for medicinal purposes.
anyhow nice to be here, ill chime in when i think i can help.

you all have a good day now!

Welcome.

As stated if your not selling it they are not really chasing you for it. If by some chance they raid your house then you prob would get in trouble, So try not to be raided :laughing-rolling:
