Eh, wine is piss so why waste a fruit as good as that of potato on it? Just make some moonshine.

You could make wine-esque drink from potatoes. but that would be loving chore. Potato vodka at home is easy as piss though, only part where any extent of effort is involved is hiding the setup from neighbours so you aren't asked to share.

Potato beer is technically just halfway to vodka. From what I understand, it has really no taste except potato and alcohol.

Potatoes are actually harder to brew with than people think. Vodka has a reputation as "potato liquor", but most of it is made from grain because potatoes are a bitch to prepare for fermentation.

I normally make nettle beer this time of year, which is great because it's made of nettles, dandelion root, sugar, orange peels, and yeast. That's right: it's made primarily of garbage and plants nobody wants anyway, so you can even pick them in other people's gardens and they'll thank you for it! If you have a fermentation vat and some flip top bottle, all you have to pay for is the yeast. That's like 5 liters of booze for 50 cents! Or 10 liters. Or whatever other quantity you want to make. I have a 5 liter vat so I always think in terms of 5 liters.

But due to a rather serious injury I am somewhat daunted by the prospect of rooting around in a field, so I decided to make cider instead. I bought dry cider yeast and 5 liters of preservative-free pasteurized apple juice and threw it into a fermentation tank and walla:





The yeast packet says it can yield a cider of 6-9%. I'll update in two weeks.

I feel like someone should make a "walla" smiley

Here is something similar. If you've never brewed anything before, this is a pretty good thing to start with. And once you have a fermenting vat and sterilizing tablets and that sort of stuff you can just randomly ferment all sorts of poo poo, whenever you want. Why buy nettle beer at the store like all the other chumps when you can make it yourself?

Always wear thick (preferably leather, not cloth) gloves and a long sleeve shirt when picking nettles. If you really want to be a dick about it, use only the top 6 or 8 leaves of each plant. Use young nettles that haven't been pollinated. Especially avoid pollinated female plants, which have some fiberous marijuana-like sexual organs dangling from their tops, these are bitter. Try to pick nettles from a scenic and remote pasture, and not a ditch on the side of the highway, because toxins.

Dandelion root is a pain in the rear end to pick, because it is deep and skinny. I haven't tried ginger, but I think it would be nice. I usually add some coriander seeds and orange zest when I'm boiling the wort. I think lime zest would go well too. And I usually use champagne yeast and Demerara sugar. Also, I usually buy a bunch flip top beers and drink those while its fermenting, so I can sterilize them and use them to bottle the beer when it's done.

Are you a brewer, or is that some kind of enema device in your avatar?

No, I'm not a brewer :) I'm not sure but I think that's some kind of industrial douche that someone was kind enough to buy for me, assumingly because I spoke ill of fyad :haw: #lifehack

I do have a bit of family tradition in brewing and I do have the gear for it, but I haven't tried my hand at anything more serious than a hooch kit, and that's a while back too.

5kg is excessive. To make 5l I use a 10l pot and fill it with nettles. That's like a big shopping bag full. Or take the pot with you to the field to save time and not waste a shopping bag! #Nettlehacks

Supposedly a kickstarter is going to happen with this , thing.

Maybe it's the cat hair eating? Maybe it's the shillin of the mentally deranged? Maybe it's the gnarled floppy strap-on for the mouth? Maybe it's the that first cats huge unbleached rear end in a top hat? Maybe it's all of them together. I don't know exactly what it is, but it sure does have that unmistakable je ne sais walla about it.
