And I thought they were supposed to be shying away from fossil fuels.

      today i learned! the defining characteristic of vodka isn’t the raw ingredient but rather the distillation and filtration process that makes it a neutral spirit.

      according to the U.S. TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) and the EU regulations, vodka is:

      • a neutral spirit distilled to at least 95% ABV (190 proof) and then diluted to no less than 37.5% ABV (EU) or 40% ABV (U.S.) before bottling
      • usually filtered, often through charcoal, to remove impurities and flavors
      • can be made from any fermentable sugar or starch—grains (wheat, rye, corn), potatoes, grapes, even milk whey

        I wonder if biodegradable packing peanuts would work…I think they’re just starch, probably from corn.

        I’d love to build a still someday…

          What the other person said. You don’t need fancy yeast or bottles, either. I did it with 2 liter soda bottles and bread yeast, back in college.

          your particular sense of innovation concerns me, but you don’t have to wait to start making booze at home. for real, all you need is a bottle of juice, some sugar, some yeast, and some time. maybe a balloon and a straw if you want to be all fancy. seriously, though, search “wine from juice” on youtube.

              Could you link to what they said that has you very bothered? So far in this post they seem pretty even-keeled and fun to chat with, but you seem to really have it out for them.

                Read what he said. He’s a Musk cuck. Being even keeled is the signature of a sea-lion.

                Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[5][6][7][8] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”,[9] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.

                  Show me where in this thread that they’ve done this? Because as far as I’ve seen, you’re the one that’s harassing them.
