Oklahoma for Modern Laws could take a few lessons from a like-minded group in Mississippi.

Pretty much what they did with the "task force" last session.

They were the ones who asserted that children would be buying "everclear in a can", weren't they?  Sounds very objective.

I had to resort to buying Everclear when I was a kid - then I got a job and had enough money to afford better.  'Course a little Everclear mixed with wine will get the girlfriend drunker all that much faster....

An acquaintance of mine says it's not just allowed, but strongly recommended. He has the scars (and the arrest record) to back it up. Wink

Yeah, but when you mix it, like trash can punch, you really don't taste the alcohol until it's too late.  That stuff is a real creeper.

Allows you to "sneak up on" the potential romantic interest, with a reduced level of awareness.  It does creep up on ya.  And mixed with wine gives an impressive rainbow of hues, too.

Everclear straight is ok, I guess, but does NOT have the flavor nuances and character of a good moonshine!  There are some really good 'shines out there and each area of the country has differences.  Oklahoma is different from Arkansas, which is different from Tennessee, which is different from Kentucky,....etc, etc.  Must be from the water sources and differences in technique.  Also whether fermented with corn and malt only, or if sugar or yeast is added.  Sugar is the cheap 'short cut' method...lazy way to make it.

Unless you add a known yeast, you are depending on wild yeast which would account for a flavor difference.

Absolutely.  And that comes from the corn and malted corn.  Certain yeasts tend to thrive on certain grains in certain areas.  If we had anything approaching rational thought in this country, I would love to try some home distillation.  Micro-distillery in the workshop would be great!  "Modern" moonshiners seem to take the easy way out too often.  They use sugar (instead of malt) and package yeast.

Wheat has one that is fairly prevalent that makes a great sourdough starter, and that has different strains.  San Francisco is different from Oklahoma for sourdough starters.  (Small packages of yeast makes a good starter, but has different flavor from wild.)
