I guess only the drunks in Vallejo get to drink this stuff.
Eons ago, I used to keep a bottle of 120 (or so) Stoli in the freezer. It won't freeze.
Then we'd take QUICK shots of the stuff. It won't hit your throat or your esophagus.
But watch out, it will get you pretty drunk, pretty fast. Just make sure not to light up a cigar for five minutes after doing two such shots.

I note we can get it in UK along with 'gunpowder proof' which is 109 proof. Question is what would you do with that other than set fire to things?

I used to do the same with Finnish Koskenkorva Viina either the plain or the liquorice version. Was only 38% alcohol but still didn't freeze in a UK freezer. When my second daughter was born I was introduced to the Finnish way of wetting a babies head. You drink one shot for each of their fingers then one for each of their toes, or until you lose count (which we did).
In India, there was an attachment for making guava jelly or something, a vent on a pressure cooker, attached at the place for the weight or 'whistle'.
Stopped sales when they found it was mainly used to distill home brewed.
And some people tried to do it with denatured spirits, which is ethyl alcohol, with methyl added to make it unfit for human use. Some people had problems with that stuff, dangerous.
If you have sunlight, a solar still will work, look for wine to brandy converters, after all brandy is distilled wine.

For less than what I get paid for a single inspection, I can buy an automated, large countertop distillation unit capable of making 10 times the amount of alcohol I could drink in a day. Not sure what you are able to Google where you are Naresh but there is no shortage of them here.
After 10 years aboard a yacht, small islands are the last thing I'd want. I just took up astrophotography, with Bortle 2 I should get some fantastic shots here.I had to look up where you are. There is quite a lot of wide open space round you that is hard for someone living on a small island to even get their head around
People celebrate Valentines?What day do you celebrate Valentine's? We do it February 14.

I eat what's available and the supermarket only has finely ground wheat flour. I do always get a few loaves of whole wheat bread when shopping, but it's 4x the price of standard white sandwich bread.Haiqu, try getting buckwheat, pearl millet or other flour not derived from wheat, good fiber, good nutrition.
Good shelf life as well.
Get the coarsest ground variety which you can use as the fibers are not broken down.
When I sailed to New Zealand in 2013 the only fresh vegetables we had after the first week were bean sprouts. There's a plastic hanging gadget you can get that works really well for sprouting them.We sprout beans by washing them, and leaving them wrapped in a wet cloth in a sieve, so the excess moisture drips off. A support under the sieve, if needed, to allow the water to drip out.
Takes up to two days, depends on the beans and the season.
I do not drink, and my state has Prohibition.
So the production at home of distilled product is of little interest to me.
So? Don't post about it.
