Any Brewers out there? - Mead; beers; any alcohol

[NWI_GAWKER99]

What's up guys. Was wondering if there is any brewers out there. I've been brewing for a little while and have made a few batches. Put up some pictures of your setup and products you've created.

I've brewed up a few batches of beer with my dad but I really want to get into distilling

What types of brews did you two make?
I hear distilling is pretty time consuming; I've always been curious. I craft both beer and mead , but haven't the slightest clue about distilling . I do love me some gin

Some dark ales, recently he's joined a brew club and they peated some hops. The only part of distilling that takes a while is the actual running the still, depends on how much you are making.

I used to brew, but I haven't for a couple years. I have a couple of 5.5 gallon glass carboys for fermentation, the big cast iron pot, a transfer bucket for straining it and bottling, bottles and a capper, pretty much the basic gear. I also have a big cooler converted into a mash tun if I want to do a full grain brew and not just use extract, but I've only done that once or twice because it's a pain in the ass even with a good set up. I should drag all that shit out of storage and make another batch, it's a fun hobby.

I live near Journeyman distillery ; I'll have to stop by there and check it out. I am going to probably stick on the mead train..something about sweet 12% abv and above keeps my eye
