Honestly I have always wanted to make just start leaving fruits and veggies out for long periods of time to start the fermentation process and make my own home brew. It’s be a smelly operation though.

When I was in Ivory Coast Africa, all the palm trees were cut off at about 4 ft high. Dumb me asked why all the trees grew that way. He explained the fine point of making palm wine. Top of tree was to the ground with cut off point 4 ft high, leaving a natural container to ferment in. Come back a few weeks later and drain the trunk into your used oil containers and bicycle back into town with a smile on your face.

Rumor has it that it is quite easy to ferment-yur-own.

Basically, prison hooch.

Pour two quarts of OJ into a clean plastic garbage bag, add a cup of sugar or so.
Then throw in a piece of moldy bread, tie the top but leave a bit of an opening to let the gas escape.
Put it somewhere where it will maintain a 70-75 degree temp for a week or ten days.
Strain it and you’re off to the races!

If you’re the inventive type, you could also easily figure out a way to distill it.
