Does anyone do this besides me? I'm just curious because it's one of my favorite hobbies and I love enjoying my products. It's like getting high off your own grown bud, being drunk of alcohol you made is always better than what you buy.
I assume your talking about liquors and not beer or wine. I've wanted to make my own whiskey for a while now but feel out of my comfort zone after reading about poss side effects when dealing with methanol. I know how much I liked burning my homegrown and I can only imagine how satisfying it is to catch a buzz on your own booze. I 'm sure I would be a lush if I began making my own booze too, right now I'm just a drunk ass. Any way I'd Like to hear more about your experiences/ practices and recipes too, post em up.
I brew wine a lot and once the wine is a finished product half the time I concenatrate the alchohol to make it stronger. Upwards of 30 to 35% alcohol. The wine is around 11% normally brewed and I do it a gallon at a time. I have a tek to make tequila but I have to get agave.
ive done wine and beer, and ive helped make 80 proof. currently going to do an english brown ale.
also ive come across a bunch of apple and peach trees so im contemplating the best way to do it next fall....im thinking i will make a solar dehydrator and not only will it be great for drying herbs but drying bunch of fruit....then like wine im thinkin just a big bin full of almost totally dry fruit all mashed up ...maybe get a refractometer....i dont want to add sugar
