Wilkos has more choice on-line that you can collect in-store. Their prices are typically 10% - 30% than anywhere else and come form the same suppliers.

With a still the maximum abv you could possibly get is around 95%. different processes are used to make industrial 100% ethanol. Its also incredibly hygroscopic at these concentrations.

x2 with a still will get you around 75% abv depending on how good your still is. IT is Totally illegal to distil spirits without a licence! The authorities take a very dim view of doing this! The myths surrounding moonshine and it being dangerous come down to the fact that at 75% or more ABV you can reach dangerously high blood toxicity levels of alcohol in one or two drinks. Certainly at 75%+ you can go from being merry to unconscious in one mixed drink (each shot = x2 at normal strengths). Then there is the fact that you can ingest large amounts without becoming intoxicated immediately, above 10%abv your body takes longer to absorb the alcohol. Again you might feel fine but then your body will continue to absorb the alcohol even if you stop drinking. The wood alcohol danger is a factor of not making your starting mixture and apparatus properly (clean). Also there is a danger of fire and explosion if your equipment is faulty or badly made. The main reason its illegal though is that a bottle of 40% rum costs around 50p to make and the tax man hates you not paying tax!

A gallon of cider is quite expensive, 8.5% ABV comes in at almost 38p a pint! But it is worth it for the taste. (£2.50 for the apple juice and 250g of brewing sugar 50p).

I opened a bottle of cider last night (2 litre pop bottle). I may have over done the added sugar. Two glasses seemed fine (not pint glasses, regular sized ones). By the middle of the third I was away with the fairies. I still have a jug almost full of cider that did not get drunk. (it takes 10 days from start to finish to make a gallon of cider btw) It also tasted great. I have 40 pints of beer and 40 pints of Larger ready to drink too. (enough to see me through to winter at a guess). Go on put the price of alcohol up, see if I care!

I get to go and be official photographer, to collect resources and document trips. This happens about once a year, well worth the effort.

Is it a diesel, it looks like the glow plug warning light. The car manual will have a proper explanation, its probably in the glove compartment.

Wow looking through the truecrypt website is interesting, hidden operating systems and decoy operating systems, plausible deny-ability (great for countering the draconian regulations that were introduced to combat terrorists and anyone who has a computer that the gov wants to look at). Makes me want to give it a try, except that it looks like it would take a weekend or more to implement and that I am very lazy.

For school go pre built, when they fail you can slope shoulders to the company that supplied you. Build them yourself and SMT will for ever blame you for everything. The cost difference is usually in favour of prebuilt PC's anyway.

About time that encrypted searches were offered. I would be happier if the default for everything was https.

If you go off after working more than half your shift its not classed as sick. Since you have a doctors diagnosis and the teaching staff are not medically trained they can go whistle.

Awesome! Can you pls insert an escape function because then it would be pretty much perfect.

Darwin was wrong, natural selection fails way too often to effectively chlorinate the gene pool.

Are you using nod 32? -
Buy new ones, much cheaper in the long run.
-
Nice, brewing sugar is the way to go to boost the strength, 0.5kg to 1kg and you will be adding 1 - 2.5% abv. The fermentation times won't increase much either.

Home brew is what you make it. It is not the same as shop bought, but that is why it is the stuff of legend. My brews are usually very drinkable and VERY strong.
