Your Turn

Have you ever made booze in your house?

I’m seeing pigs flying all over Atlanta. I must have swine flew.

No, because I don't drink.

I homebrew year round! I currently have an IPA and a blood orange ale that area almost done.

I had a BF I lived with who loved making his own beer. It was hit and miss. A few times he made something delicious, but a lot of time it was undrinkable (though I'm not a big beer fan to begin with).

He was an alcoholic, though, and while a lot of fun at first became increasingly depressive and, like all addicts, loved his booze more than me or anything else.

Not deliberately.

I wish I had a place big enough to run a distillery in. Would save me lotsa money

Just beer. You go to prison for making booze here or just owning parts of the apparatus. I would like to make some wine one day.

Never made my own booze from "scratch" so to speak but I make flavored vodkas and bourbons all the time by infusion etc.
Growing up my grandparents made "Dandelion Wine" every spring. Yes that is a real thing. Because we are country folks living in the sticks.

Nothing like a swig of some homemade white lightening!

How's your TSLA short, enty? Was it worth it?

We grow our own grapes to make our delicious wine!

just sayin' said...

This is a repeat "Your Turn". My answer then and now is yes, unintentionally, in my fridge. I did just get a kombucha starter set so that kind of counts.

Sal sticks a knife in Hedge's and Enty's back and gives it a good twist.

One of my daughter's bottles filled with apple juice rolled under the couch. When I finally found it, it sure smelled like alcohol. Threw the entire thing out. And a kindergarten student of mine once spilt his apple sauce in his backpack before a long weekend and parents didnt check it. We had to spray the thing out, it smelled like straight alcohol.

I made blackberry cordial once. I was disappointed by the amount of berries it toook to make the tiniest amount. I guess that’s why you only drink a few sips after dinner. *sigh*

I make beer and wine all the time, I just finished a peach, and now have a couple others brewing. Beers are usually only around the holidays. I've been looking at "water" distillers for awhile now though ;-)

@Sandybrook 🤩😭😂👍

orangesoda said...

Beer, cider, wine and moonshine, of course. We take our boozing seriously.

Apple Pie Moonshine!

BestMan said...

Beer, wine, cordial, and flavored liquor....

Sounds like I drink a lot, but in fact, I'm more of a kitchen alchemist.

@Tuesdi - my grandma made rhubarb wine. I hate rhubarb, but whatever the concoction she made was... was mighty tasty.

I haven't but I grew up with the alcohol my mother made. We used to live in the countryside and pick fruit and mushrooms etc in the fields and woods nearby. Mum made elderflower wine, elderberry wine, strawberry vodka, potato wine, dandelion wine and others I can't recall. Very very strong stuff.
Now she makes jams and chutneys - I have a large jar of home-made strawberry jam and a kilner jar of plum chutney.

OKay said...

We made our own beer years and years ago. These days a case lasts about a year though, so we don't bother anymore.

Limoncello. The first batch was way too sweet and I had to tinker with it to get it drinkable. Second batch I made with a quarter of the sugar the recipe called for and it was perfect.

GentleBreeze said...

Yep, mum made dandelion wine.

When I was a kid, my dad used to make his own wine and let them brew/ferment in the airing cupboard. He’d make us all have a small glass with Sunday dinner.

Unknown said...

Sloe-gin (you can pick up small copper stills easily enough here) and Elderflower Champagne simple and pretty easy .

Not on purpose.
