NotesFrustrated that people continued to consume so much alcohol even after it was banned, federal officials had decided to try a different kind of enforcement. They ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols manufactured in the United States, products regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits. The idea was to scare people into giving up illicit drinking. Instead, by the time Prohibition ended in 1933, the federal poisoning program, by some estimates, had killed at least 10,000 people.Unfurl
NotesLike any other drink, it is only as good as its worst ingredient. Fortunately, the basic margarita only has three: tequila, triple sec and lime juice. Choose a spirit made of 100% agave, stock your bar with a solid orange-flavored liqueur, squeeze fresh lime juiceāthink of how strong your forearms will get!āand nail the proportions and you'll have a wonderfully balanced sweet, tangy, slightly earthy (that's the 100% agave) drink to sip this Cinco de Mayo and throughout the summer.Unfurl

NotesWhen he arrived at the warehouse, the first thing he noticed (after āthe beautiful, sweet, mellow smell of aging Canadian whiskey,ā he says) was the black stuff. It was everywhereāon the walls of buildings, on chain-link fences, on metal street signs, as if a battalion of Dickensian chimney sweeps had careened through town. āIn the back of the property, there was an old stainless steel fermenter tank,ā Scott says. āIt was lying on its side, and it had this fungus growing all over it. Stainless steel!ā The whole point of stainless steel is that things donāt grow on it.Unfurl

Notes"So Iāve decided to start a new batch of Apfelwein based around EdWortās Apfelwein Recipe. Instead of following the recipe Iāll be using four gallons of apple juice and a gallon of black cherry juice. Iād also like to keep it on the āless boozeyā side so I can consume a fair amount of my craft instead of just a couple of the 8.5% ABV Rocket Fuel, so Iāll only be using a pound of dextrose instead of two! However the biggest departure from the original recipe will probably be the use of Safale S-04 Ale Yeast in place of the Red Star Montrachet."Unfurl
