Please forum members do not get exited - especially the Breakfast club gang - it's not alcoholic. :mad2:

[saxonaxe]

If it's as awful as powdered tea..they can keep it.:p

[Tigger004]

I'd prefer dehydrated water

[woodsman]

" not alcoholic. " -- What's the point ! :shocked:

[midas]

Think I'll stick to AQUA PURA!

[Midge_Fodder]

Ok I think I'll stick to regular beer

[KieranBroadfield]

Is their powdered wine alcoholic?

I'll wait till the alcohol beer come out then give it a try!

I brew my own here in New Zealand.. am thinking about making a portable beer brewery for longer camping trips...

So I can source the water when I am out, then brew up. ready for the end of the week..

Think it could be more hastle than it's worth, but I'm gonna give something a go....


Couple of my mates have distillers which cost about $700 each, they produce 90% alcohol, then you can water it down and make whiskeys etc. whilst in the bush :P .

You can also use it for fuel whilst out camping hahaa

I find a hip flask or several works for taking whisky out into the wilds. Just a bit difficult to take a nosing glass with you.

haha - I often used a hip flask for milk when I was younger, just enough for a couple cups of tea :P

Now I am older, and have found a love for whiskeys, especially in the winter, I find a more 'benefiting' use for them.

Nothing better than a wee dram of Laphroaig and the smell of wood smoke, it's kind of heaven IMO. And if it's cask strength it doesn't half warm you up lol

It would be completely illegal for me to have one of those, I'd use a mountain still if I could but jail isn't worth it

It seems it's OK to buy the gear - just don't use it :)

Many thanks for the link :)

[Midge_Fodder]

Aye it's a pain that it's the case, you probably couldn't buy them here, as we aren't trusted not use it lol.

Yes you can, see my link to http://www.lovebrewing.co.uk/still-spirits/stills/

It's a crazy situation: Yes you can buy the all the gear but, NO, you must not use it to make Grog.
It's a bit like the monkeys who sell all the gear for growing Dope

[KieranBroadfield]

You can buy them in most countries, for purifying water haha,

in New Zealand, it is totally legal to "moonshine" as they call it, haha.

A friend of mine has a full on kit set up in his garage, makes some awesome tasting whiskeys!

I'm getting him to make me up a batch, but not water it down, then I am going to use it as fuel in my Trangia :) works a treat

[KieranBroadfield]

In NZ, the way they look at most things is like "it's your life, why would we stop you doing that?"

as long as you aren't hurting anyone, or hurting the beautiful NZ wilderness, you're a free man here.
