Hello from the Lowcountry! (Savannah / Hilton Head)

Hello.  100% Newb here.  My mom just retired from wine making and I would like to follow somewhat in her footsteps.  I would like to begin the process of learning how to make vodka.  I look foward to gaining and hopefully someday soon contributing to this community.

Howdy SRT6.  There are a few of us having fun with craft spirits, here in The Lowcountry.  I'm based in HHI, so if you ever want to connect, feel free to drop a line.  And good luck in your journey.

Cheers!

Vodka is a fun product to make and design new drinks with. Your distillation unit can make it easy or hard depending on the style.

RPCS,

Glad to hear it.  Any suggestions?

Matt.

Out of curiosity, what do you guys do for filtration on mash water in low lying areas like that?  Whenever I get to HHI or similar coastal areas, I always remember thinking the tap water is very brackish.  Do you DI, RO, or just big blue filter it?  

Cheers,

Jeff
