Make your own Absinthe

[Zip]

And this is surprising because? I know many people abroad who brew & distill their own booze... hell one of my Italian relatives owns a vineyard makes wine and distills grappa!

Wines easy to make.

If red
Mash some grapes in a bucket leaving skins in the bucket too
Plunge the skins back into the juice 3 or 4 times day every day to keep them wet.
Takes do this for 7-14 days.
Juice is now wine
Then Drain wine from the skins into where ever you want to keep it. For extra colour press the skins and add any extra Juices(wine) into the wine you drained off.


And there you have it. The most simple booze in the world.

He produces it on a mass scale though kind of a bit more work involved plus leaving it to ferment for such a short amount of time would make a pretty poor wine!

Yeah it's quite common on the continent, a lot of Czechs distill their own slivovice here too despite it being illegal.

and in present Russia they try and distil anything that has some alcohol in it.

I was showing how to make it on small scale (Which very similar to mass scale just with out all the tweaking and additions.)

7-14 days is how long what winerys ferment for

It then gets drained and barreled for how ever long they feel it needs to mature. It will also go through a secondry fermentation process in the barrels but iirc that doesn't effect the alcohol content too much.


(I work in a vineyard and over vintage im brought into the winery)

that's pretty awesome. although the equipment would set you back quite a lot

Often people use old laboratory equipment which is being disposed of, if you work for the company often they won't mind it being spirited away instead of appearing in the bin.
