/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've done a bit but it was ages back, was strong enough it smelled like it was eating through the lid
left it sitting for a few years and accidentally stumbled on it again and it smelled fantastic

this was made mostly out of sugar badly freezer burnt frozen fruit my buddy had, and the rig we used was, not the greatest, took a good 18 hours to do the carboy and we sealed any gaps with a simple flour/water dense but sticky dough which worked great but baked on and was a bitch to get off the brushed metal

I don't really feel the need to go back and do it all again better, it was a fun experience but unless you plan to sell it or just drink an absolute shit tonne it's honestly a waste of time doing it more than a couple times.
knowing how to do it properly was a valuable experience, but we basically ended up using the heads and tails as rocket fuel since they were even worse than the hearts smelled

people doing the 'spoon flame test'
knew a guy who lit the spoon, didnt see a flame, went 'aw shucks guess its too much water' and dumped the spoonful back into his pot
he came back and the whole pot was gone, you can't see the flame easily in bright lighting
the fucking dumbass

the heads from my original batch of shine
pic-related, its the hearts.
I dont have a picture of the heads, but it looks pretty much the same and was used for rocketfuel in a diy project along side the tails

Now, I only typically make really hard stuff, but I'm admittedly a little curious about the concentration of the more dangerous chemicals typically found in the foreshot of a moonshine batch, in comparison to all of these ghetto brews I see people here making.

shinings a bit more work intensive than making wines or cidar of course, but I figure its still not good to be drinking the 'bad' chemicals even in low amounts.

I'm a 'mind over matter' alcoholic.
I always want a drink
I always need a drink
I make my own drink
but I usually refuse myself the drink.

Withdrawel seems to cause me to get drunk in a glass or two now, where as before it would take me a lot more.
