What are some weird things people have made alcohol out of?
>cabbage

>> No.11215797

If it contains sugars that yeast can digest it has been used to make alcohol.

Yeah but you'll need a suitable yeast.
If you want to get fucked up cheaply and have no regard for what it tastes like try googling balloon wine.
Word of caution: whatever the recipes say don't use bread yeast, it's fucking awful. Spend a few extra quid and buy some champagne yeast or similar.

Here's a pic.
You can get some decently priced brew sets with 30-liter buckets with lids and bubblers and all that. I have a set that I share with my brother for beer brewing, but it's at his place right now and I don't want to bike across a windy bridge with an empty 30-liter bucket.
So I rigged up an empty 20-liter canister with a couple kilos of sugar, half a lime, and about 10 liters of water in it. Added champagne yeast and a hose with the end submerged in water to lead off the CO2 without letting in air. It works.
This will create a "wine" that isn't very tasty at all but works fine for distilling and eventually mixing.

I'm >>11215841 and I made my own very rudimentary but also quite effective still:
Stockpot with a bowl placed inside it. A lid on the bowl with a hole in the middle. I just made one out of aluminum foil. Pour the wort into the stockpot, outside the bowl, and put a lid on the pot. I have found mine works best with the lid upside down since it tapers toward the centre that way.
Wort evaporates and condenses on the underside of the potlid. Runs to the centre and drips into the bowl. Can't evaporate back out because there's a lid on the bowl too.
Since the potlid is upside down I can pour some cold water into it to speed the condensation along.
I have found that lifting the bowl off the bottom of the pot with some stiff metal wire keeps it from skidding around if the wort gets to boiling.
Easily getting 50% vol. with 2 runs through this still. It is all contained to the stockpot so it can easily be transported outside and used, quite safely, on a small fire.

I bought the Freshly Mowed Grass one and it last us a couple years because it was so vile.

>>11216398
Interesting. I'm curious to hear if onions actually work for that. You definitely won't have to add any extra acid.

>> No.11216442

>>11216433
Yeah there are recipes online, I'm not breaking any new ground. They only account for a fraction of the total sugar involved, but in theory of you bought a shit ton, you could do purely onion. It'd be a hassle though.

>> No.11216497

Not made from, but flavoured with: in my country, a common liqueur is flavoured with artichokes, which seems bizarre to foreigners.

I don't know how weird you'd consider it, but as there's an enormous wine-making tradition, we have a lot of pomace leftover which is then used as a mash for making liquor.

Um... that's about as 'weird' as it gets for what I know, which is admittedly not terribly weird. Is ttongsul real? If so, that's the weirdest shit (literally) I've ever heard of.

Nothing strange about that.

The artichoke thing is odd though.

In my country they figured out how to make booze out of chicken and human shit. For chicken shit rakja, you gather the fresh shit from a tarp under the chicken coop. For the human shit, you tie a jacket on a long stick and dip it into the outhouse reservoir. There used to be battery acid vodka in the 60's because of communism. It died out.
