Corporal- I haven't been back to the US in over 3 years, so...No time to pack.
Dan- Don't forget son, I'm from West Virginia, I know my way around a still. That said, if you want to get involved, let me know.
Sir Fink- As someone who has taken Absinthe before, allow me to state that yes, in large doses it does cause muscle spasm and convulsions- but so does yellow mustard. The lethal dose of Thujone is 45 mg. The average dose in liquor is 6. While hallucinations may not be 100% agreed upon, (due in large part to the US's continued/unfounded condemnation of the drink), they have been considered part of the effects of the drink for over 200 years. If I said that alcohol does not make you drunk, would it stop making you drunk? Further science- the inhibition of the GABA receptors, increases the rate of neural synapse firing, which causes the convulsions at high doses, Increased neural synapse response is what is responsible for the "different feeling" that one gets from absinthe. Finally, it is a drink- thats it, a really cool, and tastey beverage. Its not like I'm talking about freebasing crack here, so go bother someone else, spoilsport.
Hollywood Action- Wow, really? Thats crazy! |
You couldn't drag me away. I know the perfect person to test the first batch on also.. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA |

| Actually, the absinthe is now macerating. Wormwood was surprisingly easy to get, just took some smooth talking at a doctor's office. Apparently though, it is native, and available at any herb market. Soon enough, I'll be making bottles. 25K a bottle should do it. If anybody wants to get into actual distilling, THAT may be worth making a club up. |

Are you sure it's wormwood? There is 약숙 (wormwood) and 쑥/다북쑥 (regular mugwort). |

I would have first made a wormwood concentrate and mixed it with a bottle of Pernaud or Ouzo (about 20 000 won or so at Hannam Market)? |

| Pernod and Ouzo are VERY different form absinthe. Many people consider pernod to be "absinte without wormwood", but it really isn't. The herbs are completely different, as is the flavour. As it stands, I am much close to making Polish Putnikova (no cyrillic keyboard, sorry), than true abinthe. The differences are minor, but... |

Polish uses a modified latin alphabet, not Cyrillic, you crackhead. 
I wish you luck. |

Don't tell me you two are beefing over that one girl? That would be to ironic considering the manuveers on her part to get us pissed at each other that one night. |

If you can get together a bit of copper tubing I think I can mock up a still. Know any good plumbing stores? Just DO NOT GET ANY LEAD based sealers.. Jesus.. you will be baked out of your gourd and brain dead... or is that more brain dead... anyway...
Copper tubing.... about half inch diameter... maybe 5 feet in length?? Been awhile...
That should work for the condensor coil. We can use the stove to provide the heat.. and a large steel crock. Might have to tap and drill a hole in the lids of one of your pots to make a sealed vessel.. What works even better is one of those steel crocks that has a notched lid for stove top use.
Cooling the condensor coil can either be air cooled, but typically the better ones are water cooled.. not completely difficult if you can run the whole contraption over you sink.
Oh yeah.. If you actually agree to this madness and something blows up.. I so don't know you and never heard of you. |
And when you hillbillies have third degree burns to ninety percent of your bodies or are rendered blind/mad/incontinent from methyl poisoning, don't come crying to me!  |
