My father use to tell us stories about running moonshine as a boy and making a still, especially for those engineers among the group, shouldn't be too hard. I recall the old joke that the first thing an engineer did on a ship was build a still...<br/><br/>Way, way, way back when... I'm not sure when... my dad use to say that he knew a old man who would buy a quart of gas, filter it through a loaf of bread and drink it just like cheap gin... maybe this was before all the additives, or while alternative fuels made from corn was the rage in the 70's...<br/><br/>The point is that if someone wants a drink, it's not that hard to find something to make it out of... you can fermint just about anything if you have the patience.
