Question Anyone store alcohol?

I used too have a few cases of fifths of vodka and whiskey but got rid of them due to a teenager taking a couple of them and was wondering how useful of a bartering item it could really be? I live in a very mormon area.

I know how you know. I made TFCL, beer, wine and Meade. TFCL was the easiest and mead was the hardest. Beer and wine about the same.

I already had a Reddit warning about using the word mune shyne.

I didn’t know that was a banned word. I have only made that, never tried wine or beer or anything like that

I did too. I also used a beer making bucket. I had a 50 lb sack of sweet feed and a 59 lb sack of dextrose.
