    That's a way fucking bigger number than I thought what the hell. You gotta like have a guy for that.

    It's akin to telling me 1 in 20 of us have a moonshine guy. Which this board may not be the best sample size for as im sure it skews higher than that

      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

      I used to live in a rural area with a lot of small farms and there was this loophole where you'd pay a company for partial ownership of a cow, and then they'd deliver raw milk to you. This was their way around laws prohibiting the sale of raw milk, since if you own a cow you're allowed to drink the milk raw if you want. So yeah unfortunately there's easy ways to get it if you live near farmers and shit.

      Raw milk is a real rural woo woo thing. Rural culture has its own brand of essential oils weirdos that do shit like this.

      More like 1 in 20 households having a moonshine guy which is probably more like 1 in 100 directly interacting with the moonshine guy.

      In my region 1 in 5 have a moonshine guy and about the same have a milk/egg guy.

      1 in 20 have more than one of each
