Home Brew Vodka

So I'm still recovering from the eternal (or what I thought was) sickness endured buy only 6 shots of Home Brew vodka, mixed with pulp O.J.


That 6 shots of this Vodka was equally as bad, (or had equal affects) as my April 2004 sickness in the resulting night of 13 Carlton Cold Beers:

I stoped drinking at about 8:30, and by the time I got home around 2am (uni party) I was still pissed as a neut, I threw up, but not much. It wasn't until this morning at 9:45am that I awoke from a depressing sleep that was like I was stuck on a minature merry-go-round doing 100 revolutions per minute for 6 hours. I hurled, 4 times over 1 hour. The first there wasn't much, it was quite pathetic. The 2nd was everything my stomach contained. Which was half a pizza, water, corn flakes, and some biscuits and shit. After that I drank a large cup of water, that came back up, my 2nd attempt at the water failed with yet another toilet-hugging -Davo moment.

I gave up, and went back to sleep, which I awoke about 2:50pm.

I sat up, oh no... I ran to the dunny, I didn't hurl although I felt like it was inevitable, I sat down on the dunny floor, and I started to burn up like I was on fire. I broke out into an uncontrolable sweat all over my body; face, arms, chest, legs...everywhere.. I was dizzy, and my skin was burning.

This Vodka, not only made me extremly blind drunk, but dehydrated me to the point that it wouldn't let my body have any water, or keep anything in my gut. After the fire thing, I had water, and a lot of it over 2 hours, and it took me 3 hours before I could eat anything solid again.

The moral of this boring story is DON'T DRINK HOME BREWED VODKA.

Thanks for the warning, and hope you kick whoever made that vodka's ass. :thumbsup:

Just make sure that whoever makes it know's how to distill alcohol. He coulda blinded or even killed you, because your symptoms are indicative of a high methanol content. People that know how to make their own can make vodka even better than grey goose.

By the amount of puking it sounds like you had a good night :bigthumb:

Methanol can kill or blind you. Time to take a sample to the uni lab and have it tested.

Don't drink any home brews unless you know the people who make it and are sure they know what they are doing. A friend made some "bathtub gin" once and all I had to do was take one whiff of it to know it was some bad shit. I brew my own beer and the first batch i ever made(as a greenhorn) smelled so bad that i was afraid to drink it. Home brewing can make some very decent stuff but if you don't have the recipe,sanitization, and processing down to perfection you can seriously do damage to yourself. What you describe definatly sounds like a way high methanol content. Congrats on the experiance. Peace-

whats carlton beer?

I've home brewed beer too, but it smelled to nice, like a pub, but it tasted like shit.

Having it tested isn't a bad idea... I could prob get mum to, she works in pathology.

sidewayz... LoLzi0rs u n00b!

eh try it again! its good for ya! one good thing about living in a town and knowing a lot of backwoods redneckish folk is that they all at least know someone who makes homemade wine or moonshine....mmm....peach moonshine....id happily go blind drinking more of that

I can't stop thinking that the photo of beers above is what -Davo has in only one hour. :lol:

TS out

Yea after a while I've learned that with home brewed beers smell really doesn't mean anything because you (well I don't at least) don't pasturize the beer so it has living bacteria in it. I've made stinky beers that taste great stinky beers that taste like shit and basically every combo you can come up with. Home brew is great I end up paying like less than $.25 a 12oz. bottle vs. the $10-$13 for a 12pack at the store. Never tried to distill alcohol though(honestly don't wanna blow up my house) but I've had stuff thats like at least 150% alcohol and it will knock you on your ass, feels like drinking fire. I want to start kegging my beer but thats like at least a $1000 investment. A good investment but won't pay itself off for like at least a year. Peace-

Um... its impossible for something to be more than 100%.

Its like saying that alchol is pure and a half! lmao

Really now? I think you're refering to PROOF which is actually double the percentage of alcohol in the product. Proof came around when alcohol was first being distilled and in order for the alcohol to be "proved" ment that it could be lit on fire I.E. 101proof equals 50.5% alcohol which means it can burn because more than half of the liquid is alcohol. I guess you've never had real moonshine which is 100% alcohol or more. I've had it once and will never drink it again. That shit will make you go blind or give you alcohol poisoning way too soon for my liking. But, whatever. Happy drinking to all. Peace-

im not a noob i just dont know what the fuck carltons is ive never heard of it

Is that a CAN of Jim Beam i see!?!


Yarr it sure it. There's a few in that pic.

Beam cans are now barrel shaped! They full-on look like old keg barrels, it's awesome.. Pitty Beam tastes like shit :lol2:

Sidewayz, cheak my "big ad" thread, should still be in this page, or page two. That might give you an idea of the infamous Australian Carlton Beers.

P.S, All those Calrton Colds (the blue ones) in the pic were drunk in one night by yours truely :smokin:

Wait a second, so you get the 80 proof jim beam in freaking 12oz cans there? That means you get 8 shots worth in each can....i feel sorry for the bastard who drank those 3 cans.

no no no, those cans are beam and cola (like woodstocks), they're only 2 standard drinks and maybe less. 1.8...

Pre-mixed beam and cokes? Psssshhhhh lazy freakin aussies! j/k I am intrigued by the crazy drinks yall have there, I must make a trip there just to get wasted.

dude i feel sorry for you.

Pussy.


But seriously, you should be carefull. I've had two friends who, on seperate ocasions, both got drunk, but the next day got really sick. They got so dehydrated that blood-clots formed in their extremities, and they had to be on blood thinners and wear tourniquets. The doctors were concerned that if the blood clots broke loose in the blood stream, they would end up in the brain (i.e. Stroke).

No, you're still wrong. 200 proof is 100% alcohol. Nothing can be more than 100% anything, it can however be more than 100 proof.

^ exactly

PB its impossible for anything to be more than 100% thats the concentration of alcohol in the liquid. If its 100% that means its pure alcohol, theres no such thing as being more than pure

Pussy.

Actually, you'd be hard pressed to even have 200 proof alcohol. Unless you distill in in a vacuum and keep it capped, alcohol has a natural tendancy to suck water out of the air, so the most percentage you can get is somethng like 96.5%. Or you can distill it with benzene. Wouldn't drink that. Or you can use a molecular sieve. Hard and expensive. So the highest proof you'll ever REALLY see is 193. American though. The brits use a different standard.

Man, alcohol is fun.

uhh dude whenever you get home brewed stuff like that run it through activated charcoal...it'll remove impurities and make it safer.
