BANANA WINE AND NEW GEAR


well...i drank most of my banana wine.

IT IS FUCKING HORRIBLE. if anyone actually reads this stupid blog, do NOT use the banana wine recipe i made up! it got me pretty drunk but it tasted like someone put banana peels and shitty vodka coolers in a blender.

another mistake i made was that i didn't let it age. apparently banana wine is a lot better after a few months, but i was broke and impatient and i wanted to get drunk.

in other news, i got some new gear. some i bought, some i pilfered.

  • hydrometer ($8.00)
  • racking cane ($6.00)
  • airlocks (about $5.00 for 3)
  • bungs (about $3 for 3)
  • 4 16L food-grade buckets w/ lids

the buckets are great, i got them from work. the lids have holes that are the perfect size for airlocks (i was still using balloons when i took these pictures). the lids had some holes stabbed into them but i just patched them up with a glue gun. below is a picture of how shitty the banana wine looks:




look at that awful mess! normally i'd be loathe to give away the last of my booze, but i passed off the last bottle to a friend last night. he can fucking have it. i told him not to drink it for a few months, hopefully he'll just forget that he has it and never drink it.
