Whether that’s a home baked loaf of sourdough bread (COVID lockdown, anyone?) or framing up a new deck out the front of your house – it’s so fulfilling to stand back and say you made this.

I got into brewing and distilling over a decade ago. For me, it’s the combination of science and engineering, understanding azeotropes and temperature control, with the artistry of balancing flavors and ingredients.

There’s also a certain magic with distilling where what goes in isn’t what comes out. I had to figure out WHY this is.

Here at DIY Distilling, my partner, myself, and our expert team of writers (who are mostly fellow hobbyists themselves) want to create the best free resource on the internet to help you on your distilling journey – so you don’t have to make the same mistakes we did. A resource that answers the questions we WISH we were told 10 years ago!

We sincerely hope you find this site helpful, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, or recommendations you may have. Cheers! ????
