Indeed all is fattening. Melted butter basically.
Does True Randomness Actually Exist?

Elroch - I made my own beer in the free world and made hooch in the federal prison system.
I hope you never have to experience that
Your hooch?

Many made hooch in prison. The system was corrupted same as the "free world".
From Marijuana to Heroin was available for a price.
Sugar/fruit & a little time is all one really needs to produce alcohol.

I don't think anything is random. At some levels, statistics may not show patterns, but in general or very minute amounts, everything is compromised in orders. Rolling dice is somewhat of an example or perceived randomness. It could, however, be predicted with 100% accuracy. Not 99.9999 or any closer number. Guaranteed. It just requires work to find answers.
It ain't true. Quantum mechanics exists.
@noodles2112, posts#210, #215----how did you get Fed time from just robbing a BANK?? Where were you, D.C.??? And as for your hooch ingredients (we called it "buck"), you left out a key ingredient, Mr. "hard-timer"...YEAST!! Can't make hooch/buck without it (otherwise all you've got is a bunch of sour fruit juice). And Fed time is not hard time, either...try doing STATE TIME!!

lemaudit - the yeast is in the air. no need to add that. fruit with enough sugar will ferment. The bank was FDIC. That is why I got fed time.

You make it sound easier than it is! There is a substantial risk of unwanted bacteria turning the brew off, for example.

I learned from those who already knew the process. The feds began removing the fruit as best they could so we typically used tomato paste. 1 pound of that and 1 pound of sugar in a plastic bag stored in various places. The bag would need to be checked from time to time to release the gasses or it would explode.

The very large amount of sugar might have helped protect against bacteria, as it would tend to desiccate them. Like jam (when home-made jam without preservatives goes off it is usually mold).

More sugar = more alcohol content. Heat is a factor as well. We would try and store it by hot water pipes and if not confiscated would have potent hooch in just a few days.
