'World's oldest brewery' found in cave in Israel The oldest known accounts of 'sacred' prostitution only date back to about 2,400 BCE. Even then, it's not clear that this was prostitution as such, rather than a kind of ritualized sex for religious purposes, without remuneration. Does the Old Testament Refer to Sacred Prostitution and Did it Actually Exist? Edited April 17, 2022 by GroveHillWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine was the question which is destilled liquor therefor not invented before, and prostitution have existed as long as we have been humans. Even Monkeys trade food for sex. However not carved in stone or paper as proof when prostitution really started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I tried was 11.5%. Drinkable to me but I don't have a discerning palate and I never made a habit of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulie Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 If you make booze, hard liquor, you need to take off the heads and the tails. This why people go blind from homemade liquaor. thedon't dicard the head and tails. The amount needing to discarded depends on houw much you distilling.

Pineapples are dirt cheap here, so why not give it a go? The advantage of pineapples is, that they have the natural yeast needed already on the skin. So make sure that you know where the pineapples come from, as you would use them unwashed and don't want to dose yourself with a massive amount of insectizide. I have made pineapple wine during my time in Thailand many, many times. The most important thing is to keep your pot and all other utensils really clean, as due to the tropical climate, there is a major risk of mold tipping over the fermentation.

I think the danger of becoming blind is really overstated, if people remotely know what they are doing, you should be fine. Which means, regarding Thailand, you should at least know the people you are sourcing from, or know people who regularly drink from this source. Even then, to actually go blind from self-destilled liquor, you would need to be completely undiscerning in your taste buds (as both heads and tails contain strong off-taste flavors, so not removing them makes the moonshine taste absolutely nasty and you would stop after the first small sip -- therefore, never drink moonshine mixed with other flavorful liquids until you know what you have in front of you). Methanol itself is indeed indistinguishable from ethanol, so those instances were people really got blind drinking it would normally have been cases, were they drank industrially produced and therefore highly concentrated methanol (for example antifreeze). The advice here: don't do really stupid things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whar you think people are only going to start knocking up home brew since this announcement? Dont think it has been going on for generations already? Same as the growing of kratom or marijuana?

Apologies didnt read that way. Happens to me quite often. Humour, sarcasm or irony doesnt always translate well in text bereft of context or inflection as im sure you would understand. Some posters here are so enthusiatically serious about every topic that your post as written could well have been taken as such. Now that i have gleaned the breadth of your comic genius i shall evermore regard all your posts in such light. You sir in retrospect are clearly a Ricky Gervais or George Carlin of the Thaivisa forum. (Thats sarcasm????)

It never ceases to amaze me that people don't understand they are not funny, are not amusing, don't understand how humour works. Don't understand the difference between verbal and textual based firms. Some people are bereft of comic ability.

The Hammer2021 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Brewing wine , beer and cider is easy and safe. Distilling is a different process. Apparently some people on this forum don't know the difference between brewing and distilling alcohol. If the latter is now legal its to be welcomed as its cheap, easy , safe and can generate sensational results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
