Just a question. I have a buddy getting deployed to the middle east soon
and he asked if he could make a wine kool-aid. Just add a couple extra pounds of sugar or something, yeast and let it ferment. he is not going so much for taste, but being able to drink in kuwait. Thanks Joe |

Thanks Joe He can make wine from Kool Aid, but there are better options. Any fruit juice, canned, fresh or frozen will produce better results. He should also take along wine yeast as that would not be available and any other yeast would give disappointing results. Also other items to take would be acid blend, peptic enzyme and yeast nutrient. Larry -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Just water, sugar and any yeast like breadyeast will do. As it is quite hot
in Kuweit the sun will help to destillate the resulting "wine". Pour water into bucker, add sugar and yeast, add some sugar every third day as long as there is activity. Put a glass then or jug into the bucket containing the wine, cover with plastic sheet, seal with tape so the alcohol can't get away, put stone in middle upon plastic and put into the sun. Collect what has evaporated en dropped into jug or glass. Taste before drinking and if necessary add water or juice. He'll be very grateful Ed "Joe" schreef in bericht ... Just a question.

Joe , also mention to him that little thing called UCMJ . Uniform Code of
Military Justice . I don't want to sound like a jerk , but in this world a person has one thing in life he is judged on . His honor . He is going to a country where alcohol is not allowed . If he is caught , it will be more than just a hand slap . He will be busted faster than you can say " what happened " . In the eyes of the country he will be in , it would be better to kill a woman , than get caught with alcohol . Their country , their rules . Greg "Joe" wrote in message ...

Yep, this is true. My point of view on it is that he knows it is wrong, he
is a grown man, if he does it then he takes the risk. For me, its good not to drink for 4-5 months...when you get back home, you are a cheap drunk... LOL..
