    Grandpa’s strongest potion:

    1p lbs of sugar

    As many crab apples as you can get from your grandpas crab apple tree

    Juice them all

    Mix juice with sugar in sanitized fermentation bucket (use starsan) and add enough boiling water to get up to 10% ABV on your gauge.

    Rehydrate yeast in a lukewarm dilute sugar solution so you don’t shock it.

    Add to mash and seal with airlock

    Ferment until there’s no change in specific gravity between days

    Rack your wash off of the Lee’s into a different jug and start distilling it with a water distillation still.

    Once you have a first pass done, distill it again and toss the foreshot this time.

    Stop distilling when the alcohol content drops below about 48% or when it tastes horrible.

    1 part sugar
    6 parts water
    Mix thoroughly until sugar is dissolved.
    Add 2 parts lime juice and 1 part tequila.
    Serve in a chilled glass while sitting outside in the shade on a hot day, preferably with friends.

    Small doses cause relaxation and good vibes.
    Large doses may lead to kissy time with aforementioned friends.
    Excessive doses may cause acute pain and regret.
