Fuck vodka! I am now making my own moonshine. Spike my wine with my home distilled 150 proof shit! Damn mind blowing. Well, for me anyway. Take some strawberries, add water, sugar, and yeast. Ferment it for 10 days and then distill it.... fucking GOLDEN!
Lol. Nope. I distilled it on my stove. Ran it at 143 degrees F until all dripping stopped, then tossed it. Then increased the temperature to 180 and ran it until I got at least 1000 ml. Fucking 150 proof! GOLDEN, home distilled MOONSHINE! Only took 12 hours after the initial fermentation cycle.
Yeah, Tito’s is 27 bucks for the family size bottle. I’ll take that. Or Plantation 138 proof dark rum is $28 a liter. I admire your industriousness but I’ve spent a lifetime finding good ways to imbibe and I’m good.
All I can say is be extra careful with that and do plenty of research. I looked into it a couple years ago because I thought it would be a fun hobby. Decided against it when I learned that improper cuts during the distilling process could result in serious illness, blindness or death.
