I haven't had time to update to the first Beta, and now there's the second one. I'm getting behind.

Preparing for work right now.

I'm sure you'll be able to make the time fairly soon.

It's cloudless, I can see morning fog hovering over the fields. It will be sunny and warm when the sun rises.

The Wednesday forecast for my city is sunny with a high of 26°C.

Any checks to make sure not too much methanol is making it into the bottle?

Yes. Cuts.
Of course the ultimate test is " do you get a hangover?"
Nope. No hangover.
This of course means that I have my cuts correct.
Unlike commercial alcohol where profit allows methanol to fatten the take. (Most punters expect to get a hangover so this allows them to keep more)
Ethanol without methanol is a joy

In Canada possession and use of that equipment would get me thrown in jail. We need better laws.

Or at the least, less of them

The NZ laws actually made no difference to the sales of liquor cos to make real alcohol takes a bit of craft and knowledge which the average punter cannot be bothered with

Lawmakers are a waste of space. If it's a good law, we should already have it. They've been at it centuries and they still haven't got it figured out?

Maybe we can build a still and disguise it as something else? I quite like the idea of a machine that takes potatoes as fuel and spits out hooch.

Most vodka needs no potatoes
