Prison Distilling

[BigWilly]

I was talking with a friend who works in a prison here in the UK this week and he was telling me about the stills they are finding there now... Not sure of the exact details but the basic outline is this: Kitchen workers steel suitable pots from the kitchen like a metal servery tray or cooking pot. Two wires with razor blades attached are then connected to the mains and dropped into the liquid in the pot. A binbag is taped on top around the rim. The liquid is heated by the razor elements and as the vapour rises the bag baloons. Once far enough away from the heat it starts to turn to liquid again and runs down the outside of the bag where it collects in the overhang of the bag over the rim caused by the weight of the liquid (think of a mushroom). When enough liquid has collected in the bag they poke a hole in it and collect it in a container. They then stick the container in a freezer in the kitchens and return when the water has frozen but the alcohol is still liquid. They break away the ice... et voila!

I'm not planning on spending any time in prison so I'm not at all concerned with how creative prisoners are with their ghetto prison stills... Obviously, they don't care about their own health and safety... Maybe that's why they are there in the first place...

Moving this to Off-Topic Discussion...

It's better than a nursing home where you pay $4000 a month. It may be my retirement plan.

I'm paying far more than $4000 per month in nursing home expenses... Just got new bills today...

Between my mom and dad, $4000 doesn't pay for a week.

If your that bad off and needing a drink. Wow you got problems.
Things tweekers do when they are bored.

[blind drunk]

Speechless, but I had to say something.

[Bagasso]

This doesn't sound very true. I doubt that they are freeze stilling even after a basic run. The etho would be to high to make any real ice at all, let alone have to break anything thing away.

ETA: One group may be doing it one way and another group doing it the other way.

Prisoners are automatically desperate and I applaud their tactics. Non-prisoners should look closely whether they are prisoners or not.

They make rotgut wine out of anything they get their hands on.

Crap! my folks just hit 60! hang in there! I can't afford that!

[BareKnuckles]

My brother has been in and out of prison for years. He's in permanently now... He says the "pruno" that they make is good. I think that's BS! Some of my "good" homemade wine is just nasty. Couldn't imagine drinking rotten fruit strained through socks or whatever. But I suppose you do what you have to....

[whiskeytripping]

Bare knuckles, I guess it would be their version of "sticking it to the man" it's that or nothing

I heard a story a few years back of a woman who lived out her last 10 years or so on a cruise ship. When they asked how she could afford it, she said it was $400 a week, had an amazing medical staff, room service, buffets, entertainment, and beautiful scenery. She said she planned on staying on cruise ships until she died.

Sounds like that is the better plan!

It sure is, I didn't know they had nursing homes on boats. I'd rather live out in the country, away from the crazies.

400 a week? I might just do that I mean 1600 a month thats just a little more than my mortgage.
