Five gallons… must be home brewed beer or wine?Report
Coulda been gin.
One of the great things about gin was that it didn’t take long to mature. Whiskey? It’s gotta be in those barrels for a while. Wine? Hey, it’s gotta age too. Beer has to ferment.
Gin? You can come up with a batch overnight. And if it’s bad? Down the drain and do it again, but right this time. All you lost was a day.Report
Is gin not distilled?Report
I have no idea. I know that there is a speakeasy-themed bar downtown that I went to where the bartender gave me a longer version of the speech in the above comment.
(You walk into a tiny room that is about the size of a walk-in closet and has a hatrack in the corner. You knock on the thinly disguised door and a slider opens and they ask for the password. You say whatever you want and they let you in and seat you. Yes. I know.)
I googled “bathtub gin recipe” and… yeah. Apparently bathtub gin is post-distillation but pre-flavoring. They deliver you the Everclear and you water it down and put juniper berries in it and if it tastes undrinkable, start over.Report
Hey we have a restaurant in Mpls like that, you go into a photo booth and punch a code into the keybad and it opens a door to a secret stair! Super fun!Report
