Sipping on Patron Silver while toking a lemony Scott’s OG is an extreme pleasure of mine that i rarely get to indulge. Chasing that with an ice cold Lagunita’s just sends me over the edge!

I should do a gin run… I have a workable still, I’m not going to use juniper berries… never did care much for that stuff. Kinda why I stick to bombay…

I want to get me a copper still, to distill moonshine or brandy! Also, to make essential oils…

Hi Mad, is it illegal to produce distilled spirits at home in Costa Rica?
It sure is forbidden in USA.

Well no, at all. It was cos the government had the monopoly but after someone ended that, everybody started to open breweries and distilling. So it is legal to moonshine in CR. @Calyxander, i hope you got some Pappy Van Winkle kinda of recipe there to share with me… Wanna get an alembic copper still, they are pricey but worth it. Check it out!

Wow, that is a very cool looking still.
In the US it is legal to homebrew beer, or ferment wine.
However, distilling spirits at home for quaffing is against the law…unless you obtain a special permit.
Seems like an archaic restriction to me.
Hahaha…Pappy Van Winkle is bourbon, which I do not drink…anyway, I googled recipes, there are loads of 'em.
Homemade brandy recipes are intriguing to me. First you make a fruit wine and then distill it. Looks like it would be kinda fun!
