Does anyone know what the highest proof alcohol availible in the UK is?
???
I wouldent touch homemade mate.
Erm... 40% Whisky/Vodka/Gin. I think you can get some Tequila's at about 50%
Go to Mexico, my dad bought 2 bottles of 75ml, 40% Tequila for the equivalent of 50p each :D
Don't they sell "everclear" in the UK? They do here in Canada anyways. It's about 90% proof.
To make this homeade booze you need the absinthe leaf and stalk eh? Curious where you would aquire something like that...
I wouldn't make homeade booze man, especially hard. Do tons of reasearch first or you'll end up blowing yourself up, or going blind. Good luck. :rasta:
na you use things like Wormwood, Hyssop, Calamus Root, Fennel Seed which can easily be obtained from ebay or suchlike
Oh, sounds cool :thumbsup: Be careful with that wormwood stuff. The reason it came illegal was because it caused brain damage and insanity back in the old days. PeaceQuote:

I'm only gonna be drinking it in small amounts along with copious amouts of weed. 3 sheets I'll take you up on your offer as long as I don't die or get any permanent brain damage or anythink like that
so can anyone answer my question, what is the highest proof alcohol availible in the UK?

Yeah, what I said is pretty much correct, 40% seems to be our limit really, but you can get 50%+ Tequila, I'm sure of it :)Quote:

What would happen if you took some homemade absinth (or any absinth for that matter) and made some Green Dragon with THAT (soaking weed in it for a few weeks). That'd be pretty fucked up.
thats what I was thinking about doing it's a pretty good idea :dance:Quote:

You just find some ether somewhere :p
Blue Label smirnoff is 45% I think I'll just try it with that
anyone else here try to make there own absinthe, if so, how did it go??
^Yeah dude. I tried it once. Remember not to use anything lower than 100 proof, or otherwise the absinthe will come out a murky brown.. and not the fluorescent green that is desired.
Your best bet it to get everclear and add water so you can control exactly what proof you want. Add a little more wormwood than the recipe says... but not too much because wormwood can be toxic. When you drink it, do it with two ice cubes and a sugarcube.
I put it in a mason jar outside.. and when I came back.. it had all spilled out =(.
Good luck, dude.
I don't think I can get ahold of everclear in the UK, do you think using 45% Blue label vodka will be alrite that will be just under 100 proof,well it'll be about 95 proof. Also did you distill yours?
I made homemade Absinthe once, from some kit I bought over the internet. My legs got a little numb, but that was probably from the vodka. It was like 40 percent alcohol. That shit was fucking bitter. I bought it from this guy.

P.S. I made that shit like 5 years ago. So I don't know if he's still reliable.
45% = 90 proof. It won't work. How is bud and shrooms partially decriminalized in the UK.. but you guys don't have high-proof liquor?Quote:

Anything lower than 100 proof causes the absinthe to be an ugly brown.
but wouldn't it just do the same thing
they sell absinthe at my local shop 80% by vol cant remember how to work out the proof of the alcohol tho
its £38 a bottle of 75 cl
i think everclear has the highest proof too..
anyway, this shit is off the hook too Stroh.co.uk :thumbsup:
Quote:
Stroh is over 170 years old. Stroh is well known in over 30 countries. Over 10 million bottles sold every year. Stroh 80 has cult appeal, being ABV 80% VOL or 160 Proof!
why make it yourself you can buy absinthe in the uk at 80% by vol why risk making something toxic n killing yourself when theres no need
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:nfm
lmao :D
99 banannas is high up there,check out the gin i bet their is one in there. ummm bacardi 151 maby. taquila, i think, try looking for grain alcahol, that shit is like 150 proof. i hop it works man good luck let us know.
I'm trying to decide on whether to make absinthe or green dragon
i made green dragon with absolute manderain. came out killer
that would be good
