@Tynehead Tom Yes, the shattering pressure of your average glass beer bottle can be deadly in close proximity, and I'm glad no one got hurt. Likely exploded during the warmer part of the afternoon. ;)

The elderberry sounds delicious, and I'd be very careful of the ice wine. Ice wine is made like ice beer, through a process of freezing it and removing some of the alcohol-free ice. When it returns to a liquid it has less water in it, so a higher ABV. ;) Thanks for reminding me of that. lol

Freeze distillation concentrates the methanol and fusel alcohol content as well.

Fractionated distillation cuts will go a long way to prevent hangovers.

I still enjoy an applejack, but I do so sparingly. Apples seem to ferment out with lots of methanol and sulfur/sulfide compounds....

Two Hearted Ale by Bell's.

This is my second shower beer in a week... I've come to grips with that.

Larry sold the brewery a few years ago and I still can't tell by drinking the beer.

This IPA is still the same single hop beer that it was twenty some years ago.

Centennial hops are a personal favorite.

World’s ‘most sought-after’ whisky sells for $2.7 million

If you’re known to appreciate the finer tipples in life, a bottle of the world’s “most sought-after Scotch whisky” went under the hammer for more than £2.1 million ($2.7 million) Saturday at Sotheby’s auction house in London.

GoFundMe, please. I may have gotten 'caught up' in the bidding.

Whoever bought that bottle probably enjoys the thought of a sip being worth more than most make in their lifetime moreso than the whisky.

There's no way to get more than a hundred bucks in value into a 750 mL bottle in my opinion.

Anything more is just hype and greed.

I finished off a $55 bottle of E.H. Taylor last night and thought about how much money nutsacks pay for Pappy Van Winkle.

I'm guessing that the average buyer couldn't pick it out of a five shot lineup of lesser priced bourbons.

Because of the sticker shock being the main draw the stuff is unappealing to say the least.

What the market will bear is horrendous.

Switched to chinese rice wine, with the occasional bottle of "Haku" japanese vodka. Literally drank an entire bottle of the Haku the other day, over a 7hr period, and had zero headache or hangover the next day. That was a surprise. lol

Chinese rice wine, made using 'yeast balls,' is done in about 21 days. ;) Turns out it's even healthier than fruit wines. :)

Iiiii'm not a lumberjack and that's ok...

I work all night and I drink all daaaaaay... (Vodka for breakfast is nice today...)

When you feel like drinking all day, every day, it's time to reduce your stress levels. I believe it's now my time. lol ;)

Dude I kicked a serious sugar addiction vehicle by ditching pop for kombucha.

I found Jun tea was my preferred style and completely quit drinking sugary soft drinks. That, in turn, led to my abstinence from fast food.

Jun is a type of kombucha that utilizes green tea and honey as opposed to black tea and sugar but the culture (scoby) remains more or less the same.

You have to wean the scoby from sugar to honey or back to honey from sugar in a few stages (20% to 30% per batch) but the different teas render the same nutrients more or less.

If you don't make your own I encourage you to try... let me know if you need a scoby and some starter culture.

Right on… I made my own and it is actually super easy, now I’m a believer… I reckon the store bought refrigerated bottles cause the microbes to go dormant, freshly home brewed is the way to go.
