Due to the fact that Best Press is not available in the city
where I live unless I wait for a vendor to visit our city and I can buy from
them, I started using Quilter’s Moonshine a while back. Many recipes on You Tube but I merely take a quarter
cup of cheap (so everyone said) Vodka and mix it with 2 cups of water in a
spray bottle. Looking like a cheapskate in the bottle store, checking every
price on every bottle it turned out Celtic Bay was the cheapest and that’s what
I’ve been using.
Now the catch here is that Vodka is made from potatoes which
are a natural starch, so therefore the recipes and use.
Well, this morning I read a Facebook post which put somewhat
of a damper on my pressing spirits. This
was it….
Now off I went to the kitchen to check the ingredients of my
Vodka, needless to say, being bottled in South Africa, not even a hint of which
poisons might be in there. So for all I
know I could have been pressing my quilts with grapes/wheat/rice or whatever
for the last couple of months!
I tried to google Vodka made from potatoes and found very
few and none produced in South Africa but I’m sure you will find it somewhere
but I can also guess it will be at a cost.
So I guess I’ll just have to up my quantity of Best Press purchased from
the vendor next time they visit our city but part of the reason for using cheap
Vodka was that it then was cheaper than Best Press.
At least I will look better in a bottle store,
checking for ingredients and not price.
