Rumor has it that it is quite easy to ferment-yur-own.
Basically, prison hooch.
Pour two quarts of OJ into a clean plastic garbage bag, add a cup of sugar or so.
Then throw in a piece of moldy bread, tie the top but leave a bit of an opening to let the gas escape.
Put it somewhere where it will maintain a 70-75 degree temp for a week or ten days.
Strain it and you’re off to the races!
If you’re the inventive type, you could also easily figure out a way to distill it.
Don’t try the lawnmower around the neck thing.
Too late. That’s why the Indians don’t have much hair on their chest. LOL
Yep. Mine had that same cancer,. She had her operation last February, and then it came back even worse. She was a trooper, though. Only had one bad day, and that was her last. I stayed up with her all that night, but I had to work the next day, so Husband had to have her put down.
Man, I sure miss my dogs. And I’m a CAT person, LOL! We still have our Basset Hound, who is a handful in and of himself. Come Spring, I’m betting there are one or more new pups around here, carpeting be d@mned. :)
Wikipedia (it's not the authority in everything -- I know -- but it's convenient) says:
Kvass (literally "leaven"; borrowed in the 16th century from Russian квас), sometimes translated into English as bread drink, is a fermented mildly alcoholic beverage made from black or rye bread.
Of course, just as there are non-alcoholic "near beers" and Coca-Cola doesn't contain cocaine anymore, there may be varieties of kvass with no alcoholic content.
“corn liquor. Know affectionately to the Native Americans as ‘firewater’.
In order to distill a liquid, it first has to be fermented. They’re talking about a weak fermented product here, not “firewater.”
“You can make whiskey from corn”
The enzymes necessary to change starch to sugar are not found in corn. The corn mash must be combined with malted barley in order for all of it to be converted from starch to sugar. There’s no such thing as whiskey made entirely from corn.
The beverage enjoyed by Muscovites, other city dwellers and villagers throughout Russia is kvass, a lacto-fermented beverage made from stale rye bread. It tastes like beer but is not alcoholic.
Ever have corn wine?
know what a rake or hoe is....a rake is what makes a ho’ a hoe.
