Anyone want to send me some... mouthwash?

[AirIcarus]

Back in Afghanistan for another long stretch and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a simple brew.

I was considering getting some sugar and cranberry juice from the chow hall and ordering Turbo Yeast and an airlock. What else am I missing?

Suggestions, criticism (this is my fifth time out, so yes I know it's illegal), and other comments all welcomed.

So are you after a wine or do you have the ability to distill?

The still would have to be simple (Mr Distiller, Air Still, EasyStill...). I figured I would start with a wine-wash and progress from there.

I know they are just excuses but... First time out, the FOBs were too small for it, second time was Iraq (Christian store anyone?), third time I made a few Italian friends, and the last time we had a designated brewer.

With enough sugar will the turbo still be nasty?

[Washashore]

Yes, it will. Check out the tried and true recipe section here. Bakers yeast works fantastic, and shoot for no more than 14% ABV.

All of the advice I have seen on your post +1 your getting some sound advice.

[AirIcarus]

Thanks for the bakers yeast advice. After doing a little research on Turbo Yeast, I think I will go for something a little more palatable.

On a side note, it looks like my local home brew shop is willing to ship out an Air Still and label it as coffee maker.

Stilling in the Stan? I might have to change the name of the thread title.

Thank you AirIcarus! Good luck stillin' and get home safe.
