Holy God. Let me tell you. People who talk crap about Hooch or Swill are people who should be listened too.
I went to a friends house who has recently concocted an alco-base using sugar, water and liquor-quick. After ABV hit 20%, he cleared and racked and then mixed it with some flavoring (hazelnut coffee or something, cream, milk and sugar).
Anyway, his wife wasn't home so we figured we'd make an evening of 'experimenting' with this creation. So we drank some. And it wasn't *that* bad.
It tasted like coffee liquor, if you took beef blood and protein powder and mixed it with it. It was drinkable.
We had about maybe a couple cups each, about thirty minutes later, and were just starting to enjoy our buzz when all hell broke loose.
I felt like somebody had taken a metal poker, blow torched it and shoved up into my belly. And then twisted. Just intense pain. About thirty minutes later we were both blowing chunks, me in his kitchen sink, him in his bathroom.
I'm still nauseated, but alive and confused. I can not for the life of me think of what might have caused this. Brewing beer for a while, I know that most bacteria can't live at normal 'beer abv', and something at 20% would nuke almost anything. The dude at the home brew store, and on the back of his package, says that this yeast/nutrient package is made specially for this application. But something went wrong. Terribly wrong.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
