Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

The rule of thumb is that if other people drink it and do not die or get blind, it is potable. Snake or an ear of hay (as in subrovka) inside - oh well, people drink it.
ReplyDeleteGrappa, maotai, baijiu, mescal, moonshine - the taste vary from the delicate boquet of 2*4 plank to that of refined lamp oil. But there is always one taste over all, and it is that of kilju.
Bonus points for the name of the thing sounding like "kill you".
ReplyDeleteI was privileged to watch a friend who homebrewed, brewing beer once. The process starts with making a kind of undersalted porridge of barley, and then letting it cool, hopping it, etc. You've got to figure that some time in the remote past, some very lazy Neolithic cave-dude left a bowl of gruel sitting in the sink for a couple of weeks, and then, finding it all foamy and weird-tasting, just said "meh" and ate it anyway. My hat is off to that lazy, pioneering cave-dude. Needless to say.
