The Irish are keen on their pocheen but alas I've never had any. Distilling is apparently quite dangerous because if you get the process wrong (ie temps etc) you end up with mixtures of organic alcohols, some of which have really nasty side-effects!

the inmates at work brew a ton of the stuff. sometimes they get the five gallon oil jugs brewing. mostly one gallon jugs or plastic bags.

some of my co-workers too often lose track of those jugs. we are supposed to be destroying the after use.

Do they actually distill it Sarge, or is it just a sort of beer type brew?

they get all the ingredients mixed together in a bag or a plastic bottle (we have 1 gallon and 5 gallon ones)

it is why, when working in the kitchen, you are supposed to put holes in the bottles when you are done using them.

when my thermometers die I keep them for hole-punching.

Took the wind out of my sails also.

I have had some good shine in the past and hope to find a source in the future.

If you have bad moonshine then a good chance you'll get a badfinger, That not something to sing about.
Only a bad moon on the rise.

And then, I guess, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
