Times of India ^

Posted on 09/17/2011 4:59:42 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A British inventor has caused his house to blow up by trying to make homemade vodka.

Lawrence Toms, 44, from Tynewydd, Wales, was brewing the alcohol when the explosion occurred, which led to four fire engines and a water bowser being called to his home.

South Wales Police think the incident was caused by homemade alcohol - and a spokesman said: "The windows were blown out of the property and it was lucky no one in the street was injured.

I remember a science program that used special lighting to show fumes from both gasoline and alcohol open containers flowing up and over the lips of the containers. Apparently this gent failed to see this program, much to his detriment.

Try sugar instead. It's cheaper, easier, and it makes stronger hooch.
