I’m in tears here. I miss being allowed to distil as I please :,,,(
First picture can be named: “Few drops also for you Lenin!”
What mean: “They say that the Alcosummit revives the drinking culture which is getting lost in Russia.” ? Are you kidding? In which time russians lost their drinking appetite? They are ready to give up to breathe air instead of quit vodka drinking!
“By the way, the Russian legislature does not prohibit making home-distilled vodka.”…They don’t in the States either, they just make it impossible for the average guy to comply with licensing rules, and so that’s why everybody moonshines if they want to home brew spirits.
i doubt that you can sell your home made vodka in russia without proper licensing and taxes.
I was always told that vodka was made from potatoes.I don’t know what genuine Russian vodka is distilled from.
not a goose. duck.
genuine Russian vodka distilled from rye.
Homebrewed vodka here called “samogon” or “samogonka”, “sam” means self, and “vi-gon-yat`” or “vi-gon-ka” means distillering process.
Actually you can make distillering base for samogon from everything, for example in 24h you can make it from sugar, peas and yeast
but i suppose it has really hardcore taste, and anyway, if you dont want get killer-headache, you need about 5 week to finish filtering process.
Good samogon you can make from Apples,Peaches or plum.
there was ten apple trees, so father makes samogon from apples. He getting apple juice, mix it up with sugar and wait for few months, checking process twice a week, then forward it to distellering cube…
My family lives in Moscow, my parents has dacha close to Sheremetyevo airport
it is not so far from homebrewed brandy.
p.s. i prefer JimBeam
Elephants are known to have a taste for rice beer brewed by tribal communities in India’s northeast. They go on drunken rampages and kill villagers, even themselves; 6 were killed when in a drunken state they pulled down a high voltage electric line on themselves….I submit it to you, not so very different than homo sapiens, except they don’t yet get behind the wheel of a car.
If I had to drink liquor straight I always preferred vodka because it was easier to drink quickly.Vodka or bourbon.I have never found any liquor that actually tasted good.Bloody Marys if mixed right tasted the best.Thanks [Anatoliy R] for the explanation. I give [A.Oscar] an “A” for effort in trying to translate his philosophy over to the english language.The thumbs up and down feature on this site no longer work well with my computer otherwise I’d have given you two a green thumb.
