The other day wifey asked me to make some Apple Pie for the holidays. I however found myself woefully bereft of any 130ish neutral hooch. So I brought a 1.75 of 80 proof vodka home from work, cut it to 40, threw it in my air still and a couple hrs later had a 750+ of around 130 proof. I only needed 2 btls of pie so that was plenty. I know I'm not supposed to distill store bought but I like to try and keep the missus happy. (during the holidays anyway)

HI RC Ya. I run a large liquor store. When I buy booze I get it very inexpensively.

LOL. Unfortunately not. I get booze cheap but not that cheap. The only stills I am around are my own.

Hokey, you Yanks don't know what expensive booze is!!!
Try moving to the North West Territories in Northern Canada.
I pay $56 for a 40oz bottle of rum!!!! 
Hence the new hobby.

Hi RC. If one were able to buy a 750 of Blackbush at the stores cost it would be just over $35.00. I hope that does not bum you out too much.
Drifter that is huge $$. A 1.75 ltr of rum (Bacardi) is $26.00. Regular peoples cost. Good choice of hobby and buying a brewbelt. Good luck and have fun.

If they's payin the same as your store, they are marking it up about 15 bucks... Yep, 49.95... For some odd reason I don't seem to buy as much Black Bush, any more... |
