Libertarian Fat Cat supports making his own beverages. Using his orphan work force.
When my wife’s grandmother passed, she had a number of great books on her shelf. I collected them all. I got a very old book on Texas History, a few cookbooks, and a great book called ‘Folk Wines, Cordials and Brandies.’ This particular version was published in 1963 although the content is much older. Periodically I am going to transcribe some of these, so people can try to make their own grog. Why? Because Top Men would rather you pay your hard earned money at government licensed booze shacks! Making your own booze is freedom!
A brief warning – If you store homemade wine in old bottles, chances are one will pop. Keep the stuff over something you don’t care about, like a garage floor. Do not keep it over your significant other’s 100 year old Persian rug. Also I am not an expert, just a dude who copied some recipes and added snark.
There were three recipes for dandelion wine, which appears to be the most popular type of wine due to the ease of gathering dandelions. I am going to post two here. One old, one new.
The first recipe is from Connecticut, circa 1677. Read it a couple of times to make sure you have all the equipment and steps down. Like a lot of old recipes, it is not written in good order:
- 4 to 6 qts of dandelion flower heads
- 2 gals water
- 4 to 6 lbs sugar
- 6 lemons
- 6 oranges
- 1 tbsp. ground ginger (or 1/2 oz. fresh ginger root)
- 3 cups raisins (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 oz. yeast (2 packages)
- Gather the dandelions and put them into the water in an unchipped enamel pot. RJ – Really? How about an old turkey fry pot. Who the hell has a giant enamel pot? You are not fermenting it in the metal, so I don’t see the harm. if you must have one, I found one for $45 on Amazon that is five gallons.
- Add sugar, bring to boil and let boil for a full thirty minutes.
- Strain; return liquid to enamel vessel. RJ’s Pro Tip – Use one of your orphan’s potato sacks to strain the liquid.
- Wash and thinly peel the lemons and oranges and put the peelings in the water, also the ginger. Let it simmer for another half hour.
- Pour the liquid into a crock, and now add the juice of the lemons and oranges.
- Add the cut up raisins.
- Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and pour it over the liquid when it has cooled to lukewarm.
- Cover and set it in a warmish place (65 – 70 F) Fermentation will take from ten to twenty-one days. RJ – Here is where you could move everything to a bucket for fermenting and cover it with a cloth. Don’t leave it in a metal pot or crock.
- When the fermentation has stopped, strain the wine into glass jars and let it rest to see if it clears. If it does not, fine it. Then bottle it. RJ – How much do I fine it? Ten dollars? Isn’t that oppressive government behavior?
- Do not drink for at least a year. RJ – This person has the patience of Job.
The next recipe is modern, from Dr. Margaret Bryant, the word wizard RJ – I don’t know who this is. She says this is the way folks make dandelion wine in Kansas:
- Put four quarts of dandelion heads in a crock; add four sliced lemons.
- Add 8 quarts hot (not boiling) water.
- Set away for three days, then put on stove (In an enamel pot) and boil away twenty minutes.
- Strain into crock, add 6 pounds sugar and 1/2 ounce yeast.
- Tie a cloth over the top of the crock and put in a dark place.
- When the fermentation has ended, strain and bottle the wine.
That’s it for now!
Have dandelions started growing faster? As a kid I always remember them staying yellow for says before folding up to transform into the puffball.
Now I get dandelions that seem to sprout as the puffball.
*for days
Interesting. I have noticed the same thing. I was just thinking about this the other day.
I was also thinking about this the other day. Are we…are we all Tulpa?
Result of chemical herbicides? Probably pressures mutation in the direction of fast to seed since grass friendly herbicides don’t usually kill seeds.
we don’t apply any to our lawn
Me neither, my backyard is just whatever happens to grow and then I mow it. It’s mostly green.
That doesn’t matter if a bajjillion acres of would-be dandelions are getting pressured in this direction and then landing in your lawn.
I agree with the others, flowers don’t seem to last as long, but maybe we’re all just getting old.
To be fair, my girls had a great time in March and April picking dandelions and giving them to me and my wife as flower gifts. We don’t have a ton of dandelions, but the girls find almost all of them at the flower stage.
In the old days, people would pay little kids nickels and dimes to bring back buckets of dandelion heads for making wine.
Wow, was that before orphans?
A nickel used to be worth something, yo!
Yes, that is something Neph and I discussed. You would want to pull from a relatively untouched field to avoid such things in your drink. Next time I will do something you can make from grocery store produce. I am particularly intrigued by the onion wine recipe.
Maybe not the ideal beverage for date night. ?
As long as you both drink it, there’s no issues.
When I have garlic chicken, I always get my wife to eat a little otherwise she would complain.
…but can you wear it on your belt?
Could be. You have to use a pre-emergent to really get rid of them.
I have noticed the more times you mow their heads off, the faster (an shorter) they mature.
R.J., could this be secondaried in a carboy rather than glass jars? I don’t see why not…
I would imagine so. These recipes are unchanged from the source material and so do not benefit from modern things like giant carboys and yeast specifically for wine. I like that, it allows beginners to start with very little equipment.
Some of the older recipes were designed with regular yeast, using modern wine yeasts can produce a higher ABV produce that will be drier. You can see some of that with items such as Joes Ancient Orange Mead which was designed using bread yeast as a method of balancing the sweetness.
Carboys are just large glass jars. If you’re referring to the plastic carboys, you can, but they do allow more oxygen to get through then glass.
No, I was talking about glass. I was wondering about whether there are any effects of volume scaling. Sometimes in chemical/biological processes, the volume contained in a batch reactor (which is really what the carboy is–a bioreactor) can change the way the reaction proceeds. Primarily, I’d expect the rate to be most affected due to heat exchange differences (volume to surface area ratio changes) and whether the yeast likes to collect on surfaces or not.
There are some differences in volume scaling. It really doesn’t become a big deal until you go up several orders of magnitude based on what I’ve heard. If you’re interested in the differences in aging containers, these guys have done some home scale level experiments on it.
I’s gonna use maw’s mop buckit with mah old T shirt over it ‘t keep the flies out!
That’s the only way to get that Pine-Sol finish in your dandelion wine.
Indeedy do!
Also that field over yonder gots paraquat on it and that gives ye a mean buzz!
Do not keep it over your significant other’s 100 year old Persian rug.
Oops.
An orchard on Massachusetts’ North Shore used to make and bottle a dandelion wine. I had some. It was pretty good.
Have you made it?
How does it taste?
My question too. What do the dandelions add? Color or flavor or both?
I’d always assumed dandelion wine had no other flavors, but here we have lots of citrus.
Dandelions have a nice taste and are sweet-ish. If you want a treat, try battering and deep frying some dandelion heads (yellow, of course) sometime.
Thanks.
Guess it isn’t a ramen recipe… Tampopo – Great film that I enjoyed before I had any interest whatsoever in Japan.
Yes great film.
My father worked with a guy who made dandelion wine too. Back in the ’70s he’d make a giant batch every year and there would be a big party to test it out.
One year, everyone became violently sick after drinking it. Turns out that he had harvested the dandelions after the area had been sprayed with some chemicals.
At least that was the story I heard as a kid. I was too young to remember the actual party. I do remember them all teasing the vinter of said wine for decades afterwards (in fact the guy got some grief at my Dad’s memorial service).
Thankfully I don’t have enough dandelions in my yard. How would people feel if someone went through the neighborhood picking dandelions from their yards?
They’d feel just dandy.
No one would care, but I wouldn’t recommend it- too many potential sources of contamination.
Are we still talking about making wine?
Good lord. Is there an edit fairy about?
*YES. AND THEY ARE FANTASTIC!*
Moon boots and short shorts. I could never pull that look off.

I guess we really are all Tulpa. The weather is nice so I was thinking of smoking some meat, and I have pork belly in the freezer, so it’s bacon time in my house too.
When I said I was thinking of rubbing one out, I wasn’t talking about smoking meat TOK

Step 1 – steal a hog.
Step 2 – slaughter the hog.
Step 3 – smoke the belly
Step 4 – run away from the cops after you for stealing the hog.
Step 5 – bribe pigs with bacon.
Yeah, good luck with that! There is a reason for the term “pig-headed”.
If expedient you can combine steps 1 and 2.

I expected nothing less.
I have been making homemade wine for years. I have all the fancy carboys and stuff. I’ve tried a lot of different recipes, but I’ve never tried dandelion. I always heard it was good, but it does require a lot of dandelions and you have to make sure the field wasn’t sprayed with anything bad.
Right now I have 5 gallons of Georgia peach wine aging in the basement from last summer.
I’m sitting on a Scrooge McDuck like money bin that is full of dandelions. My back yard is Elon Musk like when it comes to them
More flowers turned into booze
I haven’t used rose petals in mead before, but I have used Hibiscus. Great flavor profile when combined with lemon and/or orange juice.
I’ve used rose hips in a saison I brewed with some lavender. It worked quite well.
I like the Viking Blod mead with hibiscus, homemade has to be better.
Hibiscus is used to make tea. I buy bags of the dried flowers on Amazon.
Hibiscus is known for having a “cranberry” like flavor. This combines with lemons or oranges very well. It also changes color in the presence of acids.
I usually combine hibiscus with tangerines or blood orange juices.
I love herbal teas with hibiscus – Bigelow’s Sweet Dreams and I Love Lemon.
You can get violet jelly here. It’s pretty tasty. I’ve never tried creme de violette.
I read that as violent jelly and wondered where I can get a 55-gallon drum
Ask Jesse.
Care for a little bit of the old ultraviolent jelly?
And now for the incarcerated Glibs, I give you Toilet Wine!
I made dandelion wine about 5 or 7 years ago. I was very impressed with the taste (I’m not usually a wine drinker / don’t like overly sweet things).
The hardest part was picking the dandelions and plucking just the petals.
I have the last bottle sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for a special occasion.

You might want a drink while you read this. It’s by a Swedish Marxist, but tell me he doesn’t sound a bit like one of us? Was pointed to this by Taibbi. I’ll give you a sample, but read the whole thing.
Was Blackthorne really that rare/unheard of? That was a good game.
Okay, sorry, but I don’t think it is novel to point out that a big impetus for the appeal of ‘wokeness’ is the power and employment it provides to specific segments of society.
You have to be dumb not to realize it as an attack against white males. They basically say that constantly and use the power of the government to discriminate against us. Now, you have to be an asshole to go blow away some poor people in Buffalo who have little to do with that, but you’re stupid to deny what the enemy is stating their aims and methods to be, especially when that comports with observed reality. It isn’t new either. It might be ramping up, but it has been there my whole life (the wonderfully euphemized ‘affirmative action’, for one). Maybe it could have been nipped in the bud then (as I think, legally, it ought to have been, or else, the floodgates of discrimination for all opened wide as libertarian morality would indicate).
It’s the new religion and the woke are the self-appointed priests (or credentialed as in the case of white females).
Yeah, I think this is more accurate. It’s closer to OMWC’s clever priests and their various schemes, than Roman conquest in a zero-sum world. (An idea I also frankly reject, considering the vast technological advances and achievements made during the ancient Roman era.)
The ancient neutral sum-game is definitely a questionable position to hold, especially if you count trade as a potential booster of GDP (moving goods from places with excess to places with need), which was probably greatly enabled by Roman expansionism. ( don’t know enough to be sure, but that would be typical)
He misses a critical point here. The primary reason our manufacturing base was decimated is because of the combination of the dollar’s reserve currency status and the unpinning from gold. Fully 90% of international transactions occur with the dollar on one side or both. All those foreign central banks were buying up dollars frenetically to conduct business and the dollar got stronger as a result. The stronger dollar hinders manufacturing and encourages off-shoring. The Federal Reserve printed more money in order to satisfy demand for dollars and the US government and Wall Street both went fucking hogwild thinking they had an eternal blank check.
Meh. Competitive advantage in trade – with most places around the world providing cheaper labor and us providing capital. The monetary aspect has a role, but secondary I would say.
On a currency playing field that’s flat, you’d be absolutely correct.
It still holds but I would agree that our monetary policy (and currency status post WWII) exacerbates it.
It was a good read and I think spot on in some ways (there is a effort by companies to address the wokeness issues their new employees are identifying within their companies by hiring consultants and experts to address them).
I don’t feel it is a conspiracy by the people directly involved in the corporate attacks, but I do feel there are groups that are pushing this angle for the reasons mentioned here and in the article. There is certainly a coordinated effort to promote the ideology of wokeness in this society. This effort evolved as the leaders of the centers for higher learning created majors outside of traditional areas of study to allow more and greater graduation rates of students. These students didn’t go find careers with this education, so they had to create and spread this ideology outside of these newly created bubbles -> diversity credit requirements for students in traditional majors -> more professors for these majors -> more majors to allow any student with half a brain and no direction to get a degree -> More of these students getting into jobs after college such as HR and public relations -> more companies “find out” they have issues with harassment, diversity, etc -> need more of these majors ->the feedback look continued until were we are today.

I find it hilarious that Trump’s ignorance and demand for things to be explained to him (real or a tactic) is seen as this horrible defect. Let’s see, it apparently threw Putin and our own swamp creatures for a loop. Does she really want to compare the track record of those knowledgeable and intelligent swamp creatures? Because from where I’m sitting, it’s a) piss poor and b) despite all of their purported book learning, doesn’t seem to very pro US. Or rather pro American people.
I’m sure she and Victoria Nuland never needed an explanation because they’re so smahht.
And yet somehow the U.S. under Trump brokered peace agreements between Israel and several Arab countries. And there was no full-fledged war in Ukraine either.
Curious is the question about Finland more of a “will they side or are friendly with Russia” or truly “are they part of Russia”. I don’t care other than I know Bolton is a piece of shit.
Bolton was just pissed that Trump wouldn’t let him start some wars. It really is that simple.
John Bolton’s grasp of history seems to be even more lacking than Trump’s, at least the lessons to be learned part.
Missing: context. I can think of some contexts where that question would be asked to make a point.
Or, since its Bolton, they were probably pitching Trump a plan to invade Finland.
You might even say *because* of their book learning, doesn’t seem to be very pro US.
A lot depends on what books you’re reading.
If someone says “explain it like I’m a five year old” that obviously means they think they’re only five years old. And could never be mocking the person banking bullshit.
Good old Fiona Hill, lying cunt who testified to Congress behind closed doors to one thing and immediately contradicted it in the media thereafter.
She shouldn’t be trusted to clean toilets.
Only very very stupid people think that they can be smart about everything.
I would much rather have a person who’s genuinely curious and asks question over someone who’s positive they know it all.
Here is a video of the guy I bought some wine from recently. This guy makes his wines in house form source materials from all over the world. His stuff is great, affordable, and a great way to spend an afternoon figuring out what you like. He is also a real friendly person.

Really smart people don’t need to ask questions about things they aren’t familiar with.
Going off half cocked based on intuition and emotion is the hallmark of wisdom.
This is going to get ugly. Headlines from the past couple of days:
What Everyday White Americans and the Buffalo Shooter Have in Common
Taking race out of education could fuel white nationalism, some educators say
Did the Buffalo mass shooting suspect’s 90% white hometown fuel his hate?
White terrorists have ‘Tucker Carlson Syndrome.’ Millions are vulnerable to it
We are all going to need some wine to get through the next couple of years.
TL;DR
White people are the devil
There is a mindset that needs to be eradicated, without killing the host if possible, but if killing is the only way, then blood there shall be. The various cults of stupid can only be tolerated so long – so yes, young Gendron and his mindset will go, right along with those of the grievance hustlers who can only live a socially parasitic life (as described in the link I shared just a few minutes ago), or as are behind these headlines.
They’re treading awfully close to mortal threats. Solzhenitsyn’s warning comes to mind.
*points to Jan 6th rioters still sitting in prison awaiting trial almost 18 months later (TW: paywall) *
It has already started. The die has been cast. Next comes wave after wave of amplification. You can see them trying to do it. It’s not enough to blame the perpetrator in Buffalo. They have to find a way to pin it on whites as a whole. The end goal is for them to be able to claim moral approval for aggressing against whites by claiming it to be self-defense against a race that gets violent when its power base is threatened.
They have to find a way to pin it on whites as a whole.
Influential one first – thus Tucker Carlson.
I don’t understand why defense counsel are not filing and standing on speedy trial demands. Everyone of these people would have been out by now.
This article from March addresses it. Basically, “there’s lots of evidence being collected, so the clock is paused” as supported by the FYTW clause.
Wife put on the news a couple of days ago and they were running with this almost non-stop. There was a funny moment when they had an author on who wrote a book on mass shooters. At first it was pretty standard boilerplate stuff, but then she started making a point about how these killers are very often not true believers at all, but just glom onto other people’s ideas and use them as justification for something they wanted to do anyway. And she used the Buffalo shooter as an example of that in action. That got a curt “mmm-hmmm” from the reporter and they cut her off. I’m thinking, “well, you just lost any invitations to come back.”
We are all going to need some
wineammo to get through the next couple of years.These fuckers are determined to start a race war.
Class war. They aren’t just satisfied with having a quiet parasitic existence – they want you to kneel to them.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, the Kids in the Hall are back. The show is still absurd, dark, and funny as the original HBO show.
The standout skit for me was the Doomsday DJ.
https://nerdbot.com/2022/05/18/kids-in-the-hall-uses-brand-new-key-in-best-way-ever/
“The sketch, featuring Dave Foley, starts with grim images of an underground bunker paired with cheery music. The song “Brand New Key” plays over the drab setting until the record suddenly starts skipping. It soon becomes clear that “Brand New Key” is the only record that the DJ owns. We learn that the DJ is hosting a show in a post apocalyptic world decimated by DNA bombs. Despite the bleak setting, Foley’s DJ is committed to his job, even if he only has one song to play.”
I’ve watched the first two episodes. Pretty strong so far. That DJ skit was awesome and Foley was perfect. There is also a hilarious amount of old guy frontal nudity.
You definitely sold me on that… no way I’m watching.
Hilarious in the amount of it. Not so much the appeal.
They had some clinkers, but overall some great skits, with some great callbacks to earlier episodes. Ambawance for one.

When I go ammo shopping, I see all kinds of brands I don’t recognize, and really don’t have a feel for which ones I do recognize I should prefer. I’m talking range/practice ammo. What are your thoughts/preferences?
Mr. Dean,
My rule of thumb – I buy the cheapest brass-cased factory ammo that was made in a country where I could safely drink the water.
Steel-cased ammo won’t hurt your gun, but it’s usually filthy and underpowered.
I don’t buy remanufactured ammo unless it’s from a maker I’ve tried out before. I’ve had good results with Atlanta Ammo, Felix, and Peak Performance.
I’m pretty sure I’ve shared this before, but a piece about the per capita alcohol consumption through US history:
The 1800s: When Americans Drank Whiskey Like it was Water
That 3.5 gallons of alcohol average? That’s 100% alcohol, not just beer or liquor.
Can’t drink the [tap] water….low abv % beer, mead, wine, etc has been the default for centuries.
1 Timothy 5:23
A friend of mine teaches brewing and zymurgy down at New Bern Community College. One of their projects is to make drinkable beer using wild yeast and untreated water from a farm pond. The end result usually doesn’t taste very good, but it has yet to make anyone sick.
3.5 gallons per year is 448 ounces. Converted to liquor at 80 proof, that’s 1,120 ounces of booze. Divide by 365 days in a year, and that’s about 3 oz. a day. Color me unimpressed.
Average…remember, that would include people who drank very little. Also, toddlers.
Alright, say half the country never touched a drop. That’s still a grand total of 6 oz. of booze a day for the drinking half of the country. Still not impressed.
Indeed. I thought so as well.
A friend of my father made hundreds of bottles of various fruit wines a year, he held a spring and a fall “wine festival” because he needed empty bottles to make more. My father has the hand written instructions somewhere, I should get them before dad forgets where he put them. I made one batch once when I was in Columbus, I went to a brew shop to get a bottle brush or something and the owner asked me what I was doing, I gave him a brief run down of the crude process (it was similar to RJ’s write up) and he was appalled. Told me I couldn’t make wine like that and that I needed all kinds of air locks, and filters, and bubblers, and sanitizer, and chemicals and whatnot. I did it the crude way, It turned out okay but not as good as Everett’s. It also required a year after bottling also which is why I never made another batch, I just don’t have the patience or the gumption to make a batch every 3 months so as to keep a continuous supply once the first year is up.
People made wine for quite some time before bubblers and shit. And the wine was good. Our modern sensibilities has made it too difficult and expensive. Now granted, kickstarting fermentation of rum with a dead mule (was actually done, according to a rum book I have) is a little extreme but otherwise fermentation and alcoholic beverages naturally occur with or without fancy equipment
Are you suggesting that early man didn’t have access to air locks, filters and all kinds of high tech sterilization equipment?
Air locks and bubblers are the product of an overactive regulatory nanny state!
It can be done, but it also runs a higher risk of contamination/wild ferments. Those can either be beneficial improvements, or… something else.
I’m not sure about wine, but there’s nothing harmful to humans that will survive a beer ferment. It may not taste good, but it won’t kill you.
Brett in wine is known for producing “barnyard” aromas. In other words, horse sweat and manure. But it’s safe to drink.

I saw a video once where they started with scummy pond water, and wound up with drinkable beer.
Saw the same video.
Firstly, you’re going to boil that water to kill off pretty much all microorganisms. That solves most problems.
But once you get past a couple of percent alcohol in the beverage, there are few organisms that can take hold in beer/wine/cider/mead. Those generally ruin the product (think vinegar), but they are not dangerous to drink.

Will she be gay, or trans?
Why not both?
Like Velma was straight in the original…
Jinkies!
I just couldn’t understand how people couldn’t imagine a really smart, nerdy girl with terrible eyesight, and who loved to solve mysteries, could be Indian.
A could. Velma isn’t. Create your own damn characters if you don’t like existing ones.
Trafficking in her own stereotypes.
I could see re-imagining Daphne as one of those fake-Hindustani white bitches who goes on a eat-pray-love vacation and comes back all spiritual-but-not-religious. But that might actually end up funny…
Reimagine Scooby as a 6-foot tall, black cat that wears a tophat.
Scooby snacks, Scooby snacks, Scooby snacks ruh rOOOOOooooooohhhhh!
Its kinda been done.

Back in the roarin’ 80s certain girls were known as the “454 date”. A 12-pack of Stoh’s or magnum of Boone’s Farm cost about $4.54
Condoms were free where you lived?
They’re basically free after the first time you use them, right?
Who says it has to be you that used them first?
You know how much condoms cost when I was in school?
Me either. Nobody used them.

Answer is: More than an abortion.
“Eighty dollars! Man, I remember when a dime bag used to cost a dime!”
I can dig it.

Isn’t this a problem that would take care of itself? I mean yes you have the extra paperwork to fill out when you get a drowning but I don’t see you having to do that too many times.

Libertarian Party candidate for Iowa Governor, Rick Stewart, says he has paused his campaign following a recent arrest for civil disobedience.
This past week, Stewart says he was detained at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the DEA on the charge of simple trespassing.
Stewart says he was protesting the denial of experimental psilocybin therapy to a friend with stage four cancer. During the event, seventeen protesters, including Stewart, staged a “die-in,” and were arrested. A die-in is defined as a protest or demonstration where a group of people gathers and lies down as if dead.
Uh, why not run with it. Hype the shit out of the arrest for “doing good work to expose the government”. Force the donkeys and elephants to respond if you can.
Either it was worth getting arrested for or it wasn’t. You should decide that before your engage in civil disobedience.
“I didn’t think they were serious.”
We’re probably going to get a bit more of that before it gets really ugly.
