Hey guys, I want to introduce myself and also piggyback on the last post from @Naked Spirits Distillery. I am a newbie craft distiller and assistant distiller for Naked Spirits in St Louis, MO. I am excited to embark on this journey and extremely grateful to the guys that are starting NS. I have been doing self study on my own for the past year but never pulled the trigger on anything until I met these guys. I was ecstatic to be allowed to intern for them and together we have been learning, experimenting, growing, and more than anything cleaning up after ourselves haha! I recently started my own first batch of whiskey which I just posted about in the whiskey section because I am having issues. So feel free to go there and comment.
My background: I am a Navy vet, worked as a nuclear plant operator for 9 years onboard the USS George H W Bush. I then separated from the Navy and went on to work as a maintenance planning specialist for Plant Vogtle in Georgia. And now I am back home in STL working as a Distribution System Supervisor for Ameren MO.
Other than that, I hope to grow and learn as a craft distiller. I've even been considering attending Moonshine University's 6 day class. I am ambitious and want to learn this amazing trade! I look forward to hearing from all of you! Thanks for allowing me to join and learn from some of the greatest minds in the industry!
