I keep telling my wife we should stock up but I get an eye roll every time. She is a tee-totaler and I am a totaler. Saves a lot of money that way.

i made my own booze, and compared it against a small scotch collection. but i have too much so i stopped. also some of my stuff will never be like some of those wicked sherry barrel aged things.

Hey, UA, isn't that illegal?! I used to have a connection for pure corn liquor, or white-lightning as some call it, made by good ol' boys deep in the woods. It looked like vodka but was so smooth you wouldn't want to add any mixer, ever.

Is THIS all I need? Plus maybe the electric heater thingy? And 8-gallons refers to the amount of mash, right? How much liquor does it yield? Even four gallons would be dangerous for me to have close at hand.

the brewhaus eight gallon kettle with a mile-hi traditional pot still head is such a sweet combo, i can run it on the kitchen gas stovetop and noone is the wiser.

if the mash is done right, distilling can be as simple as making coffee. i started out with a small air still, all i have to do is press a button to start it and press the same button to stop it, to make my 'cut'.

I must look into this and the Tee-totaling accountant who sleeps beside me will be delighted.

Hawthorne tea is good. You'd be surprised all the kinds of teas you could make from just the weeds and trees of your backyard.

oh, i know. and toss them in salads too. things are growing already! just search for 'edible weeds'.

We don't need no stinkin' saunas with supplies like that.

yeah, not even an ebola pandemic would put a dent in them.

That is the kind of politician I like—free saunas and vodka for everybody.

I find beer in the bathtub works just as well.
