    I know both a raw milk lady and a moonshine guy 🤔

    not interested in either product, but kinda feeling special now to have this direct access to lethal homemade consumables

            It's possible if it's adulterated with just methanol but the cure for methanol is ethanol, so the only real significant cases of this happening were when feds were intentionally poisoning supplies during prohibition

            Not saying it doesn't happen but it's rare as hell outside of intention

              It’s the first % of moonshine, so if it’s each jar filled sequentially, the first jar can be deadly, though that’s more with fruit based brandy that grain based.

              The problem is quantities of ethanol required to fix it will be too high if you had pure methanol in the early batch.

              The early stuff apparently tastes like shit anyway though, so unless they’re completely clueless it’s not likely to make it in.

                I’ve had homemade moonshine and it’s pretty much tastes likes gasoline even without methanol. I can’t imagine how bad that first bit must be then.

        Guys chill the fuck out if it's from a farm that has vaccinated animals and you consume the product fresh (within the same day or so) it should be relatively safe (although you must boil it before drinking)

        The danger of raw milk is when you buy from a dodgy farm that doesn't do Malt Fever vaccinations or you keep it for a few days
