Can you recommend some accurate English sources for a thorough history of absinthe? .

I recommend
"Absinthe :- History in a Bottle"
an easy read and a good reference work also...

When my wife got her S&W 38 in came with a grip laser...the intrusions in the box said..."Making bad people make the right decisions" which pretty much sums it up...and at 25 to 30 the hole is exactly on the laser dot, which is petty damn scary.

Wormwood is the mental destroying part of this recipe so I decided not to try and make it. Cheers Bryan Remember...Absinthe was first made and sold as a nerve tonic and the wormwood part was very important. By the time that the treatises were written it had become a recreational drink, pretty much ...

Table sugar is pure sucrose, in order to "eat" it, the yeast must first "split" the sucrose into it's two major fractions glucose and fructose, no problemo ...however if the yeast is under stress during the digestion and splitting of the sucrose, be that temp, pH, re-hydration et...

I don't think that sugar inversion makes a big difference An easy and very over simplified explanation of the difference (as you would see it, if you were your yeast)...

Here is a way to get rid of that "bit" from your low's or spirit run liquor, for gin or vodka, and not have to redistill it. You'll need a 24-30 inch long piece of 3/4 inch copper pipe, cap one end and drill an 8th inch hole in it. Fill and pack the pipe with activated charcoal (food grade...

Very true...no joke, " Did you blah blah blah...." No ! I didn't or I don't remember if I did !

example...Did you leave the bottle of yellow mustard on the roof of the SUV ?
Me...No ! Why would I do that...so no, I didn't or I don't remember if I did !

"Big Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives"...all this and a bag of crisps !

States that theoretically allow moonshining are Missouri, Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Rhode Island. But federal law makes it illegal. But if you notice how the marijuana laws are changing in certain states, If states start to treat distilling the same as Marijua...

Before you have the eye to eye you'll need to check with your State legislation. If West Virginia is anything like PA and a LOT of other States, hobby/home distillation is already legal === at the State level --- and that's the kicker...the BATFE regulations are Federal, and although not "law&q...

Arms market is limited and highly priced right now wherever you look . You can say that again ! I got into home-building rifles when I found a parts kit, including the barrel, for $80 delivered, that's only five years ago...that same kit today is $1400 or higher !

You know he had to give up painting because his glasses kept falling off, right?

That explains why Vinnie's last self-portrait was so....OFF !

So that's how they steal watermelons...I always wondered

NO I DON'T !

Wilde is alleged to have said “After the first glass of absinthe you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.” AND THEN YOU GET TO CUT THE LOBE OFF YOUR EAR ! :sick:

I don't think anyone has mentioned this...in distilling you don't want a wash to go to zero, the reason is...we ferment our washes with a huge excess of yeast. 10x what you would start off with for beer, and 100X for wine...we don't want our little friends sitting around and letting other organisms ...
