Anyone heard of doing this?? Someone posted it as a comment on my blog to the turbo cider recipe I put on there...

From Saudi Arabia comes this recipe… Jeddah Gin
Put 5 pounds of sugar in an absolutely CLEAN 5 Gallon plastic jug.(No soap smell at all…)
Cut up a grapefruit rough..just small enough to get thru the opening.
Put 2 Tablespoons of plain baking yeast in a glass of warm water with two tablespoons of sugar. Let it sit a while to get bubbling. Pour it into jug. Fill the jug up to the neck area with clean tap water.
Put a plastic baggie over the mouth of the jug, and place a rubber band around the neck to secure it. With a needle, punch a few holes in it. Put the jug on a chair in a warm storeroom for about 22 days. When the bag starts to deflate, siphon the liquid contents out, and mix with fresh limeade to drink… This is Grade A Jeddah Gin, and allowed us expats to cope with the Rockhead

Since I drink because I like the taste of the drinks, not to get hammered, I'll pass!

I've got this image of Sadgit pouring moonshine out of his bedframe like Fletcher in Porridge...

Amazing to think how easy it is to create the old moonshine very tempting I have to say.  Not so much a p@$s head as I used to be but always like a drink to chill.  Might be worth a go if I'm not in a lazy mood.

Want to have a go at fruit wines this year though seeing as I create so much fruit.  And I'm growing an elder in my garden, even more wine.  Don't imagine me to be a drunk will you ha ha
