I can't buy ISO anywhere and my bongs and pipes still need cleaned. LOL
And, with Corona Daze upon us, alcohol is a great disinfectant.
And, since I am almost out of Whiskey..... well, OK, that's the real reason. LOL
I have been making my own beer for about a year and I thought I would try my hand at distilling.
Sugar and yeast are still available so I stocked up.
I bought a still that arrived yesterday. Tomorrow, it gets put together and I start with that game.
Just for shits and giggles, I made some 'ghetto wine' or 'prison wine' as I saw it was called.
1/2 gallon of pure fruit juice. 1/2 gallon of water. 4 cups of sugar and a tablespoon of yeast. It's bubbling away in the fermenter right now. I'll test it in 7 days.
As I understand it, when I distill corn whiskey, the top quart or so is undrinkable. More like Everclear. So, that will be great for disinfectant (mixed with some glycerin) and for cleaning my bong.
The next couple quarts should be almost drinkable. A little oak aging and it should be acceptable. We'll see.
Worst case scenario is I have some fun and waste some money.
LOL
Anyone else doing this? Either for alcohol extraction or just plain drinking?
