How to make Mold Wine

That's right, mold. Not mulled. This twist on a classic Christmas recipe also known as "hooch" is made in prison. According to the Sneeze.com making prison hooch is simple and can conveniently be made right there from your cell toilet. "

"make a strong bag by double or triple-bagging some plastic trash bags and knotting the bottoms. Into this, pour warm water, some fruit or fruit juice, raisins or tomatoes, yeast, and as much sugar as you can get ahold of (or powdered drink mix). Now tie off the top of the bag, letting a tube of some kind protrude so the thing won't explode while it gives off carbon dioxide. Now hide the bag somewhere and wait at least three days. A week is enough."

the article continues by explaining some of the logistical problems of obtaining banned ingredients like yeast and how to work around those issues along with suggestions for hiding your wine and covering the rank smell from your prison guards. There are also recipe variations such as "red" and "white". Both are fermented via an old sock. Anyway, you'd have to check out Steve's article http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000373.php for exact recipes if you'd like this heinous concoction to make an appearance at your holiday party. At least you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen.
