I started a small batch of sake on Saturday. I had to culture and grow "koji", which is a specific type of mold spore that converts the rice starch to sugar. When the sugar production starts then yeast converts the sugar to alcohol. The mixture is happily bubbling away, and God knows what it will taste like.

I stopped by the brewing supply store for the proper yeast culture, and the regulars were sampling various vintages and feeling no pain. We discussed my 12 gallons of new, but very potent, nectarine wine, and they suggested I get a "water purifier".

Those retards are building illegal stills! They were advising me to make brandy, and told me how to distill the wine and avoid the propylene and methanol buildup. I might try it. I already have a trailer house to put in the backwoods and a fast car to outrun the revenuers.
