Re: 200 gallon still

Talk of beverage stills above about 100 litres (25 gallons) always makes me a little nervous. Any bigger is beyond hobby level for personal consumption. Except if you got a proper licence for it, of course. I wouldnt say that Hook,some of us havent got the time to run a still once a week or even on...

Re: What's the highest safe alcohol percentage to drink straight

About 6 months ago I had a tooth that needed pulling, one night I plucked up the courage to pull it myself, I took a swig of some 96%, swirled and swallowed it and extracted the tooth with a pair of plyers. I don't recommend drinking 96% but it certainly makes a great numbing/pain killing aid. Man ...

Sorry Punkin, I also dissagree. Ugly pretty much hit my mood right on. It's not that I hate the hobby. If I hated the hobby I'd be buying shop bought every week not slaving over a undersized cooker.
