But of course, it was Spike Milligan what did you expect the man in the moon??
When i spotted this thread by John, Moonshine, I Was expecting to read a story about the attempts some balloon heads had at making homebrew aboard ship, Always remember an alcoholic cook i was with in the Trevaylor {Haines Boat} He had his tap stopped after about a week into the trip for supposedly his own good. He would drink any bloody thing, I told him about a mate of mine who was into home brew and was excellent at it he would make wine out of anything one brew he made was a Banana wine it was lovely stuff but like everything over 15% alcohol proceed with caution. Thought no more about it. 3 weeks later i entered the cooks room. A smile from ear to ear a great idea scouse taste this his version of Banana wine, You cant make that in a matter of weeks i said my buddy leaves it fermenting for months until it is both ready and clear in the bottle. His looked like the gash bucket it was bloody awful the smell was enough. Needless to say he was replaced at the next port of call which was somewhere in the former colony of British Honduras now known as Belize. And if my memory serves me correct as it was self inflicted he received no travel warrant. He was told to work his passage back to the UK If anyone would take him. Sad effort indeed. :sick:
saw it brewed on a shell tanker .....potato peelings raisons and brasso that had been strained ....it took the inside of a galvanised bucket shining like a mirror it also made two fireman and another very seriosly ill .....which was quite pleasing as one of the firemen thought it great fun on coming aboard with crabs ....chucked them on the boy ratings heads ......but he was sorted for that anyway......strange days strange ways capy
Pineapple skins in a plastic bucket in the locker of an engineer, smelled like something from a greacers arm pit.
Then the second assistant cook who made some stuff using prunes and surgical spirit, must have had a very clean inside.
The Norwegians I sailed with would mix methanol samples with tinned fruit, made decent moonshine but would blow your head off.
