    When I moved in I helped my neighbour with his home-distillery (it's legal here for small amounts, or rather the State never checks). One fine morning, we went into his cellar with a big furnace going on and all the copper paraphernalia ready. We say "hats ready" because there are pipes and some "hats" or pots where the thing brews. My job was to test the "aguardente" (uisge beatha) coming out from those pipes. I did my job and was drunk for 2 days. My aguardente days are over since then. It's like doing drugs with a colombian quartel and coming out alive. I won't do it again. You get really really drunk on stuff that comes out with 40-60º alc.

    • For any "hat", over 3 hours, it pours stuff at 60º, then 50º then finally at 40º (40º stuff is called "malafaia" - "the [water] weakling")Corvo2
