A. he was being sarcastic.
B. Even being born and raised in the usa (:patriot:hurr) I really like the metric system a WHOLE lot more.
liter. LITER. where is that picture with the metric duo throwing around that girls baby till she tells how much it weighs in Kg.
I wish I could use the metric system. But everyone uses... Whatever we have :v:

Not only that, but apples naturally contain methanol anyway, so you have to be be really careful, or use enzymes to break the pectin down.
And the 'blindness' is, as SteeleCratos, caused by dangerous levels of methanol, since the symptoms of methanol poisoning are intially similiar to that of ethanol, but at doses of 10ml or higher then 10-30 hours later you will suffer blurring or the loss of vision, and doses higher 30ml are considered to be life-threatening.
My cider's hard right now if you catch my drift.
Why would apples and sugar on their own produce alcohol, surely you would just end up with a rotten smelly mess
Where is your yeast?

[QUOTE=Mr mellow;25426037]The yeast comes from the unwashed apples[/QUOTE]

My best buddy actually did this once on accident. He made a mixture of like 7 parts apple juice, 1 part berry juice, and then forgot about and left it for like 4 weeks. I was with him when he rediscovered it, and when he opened it the cap shot off like [b]WHAM![/b] and it was all bubbly. It smelled like a hobo who lived in a pile of decaying apples for 4 years.

What do you mean "blindness"? Makes you sound like a nihilist :v:

This doesn't sound like hard cider. It sounds like accidental fermentation and a little rot.
[QUOTE=Mr mellow;25425851]No, sterilize the hardware, not the apple.

When you boil it it dies not rid of the toxins, so you get concentrated toxins. Freezing it freezes the toxins, and when you remove the ice they leave with it.[/QUOTE]
People only go blind from distilling alcohol because they either use methanol to up the proof or they use a car radiator as a condenser which leaches lead into the alcohol.
Both kill you or make you blind, methanol causes your retinas to detach from the nerves
I'm undecidered on this one...
I just tried our first batch today. It's carbonated goodness
Posting this on facepunch was a big mistake, and thanks for making someone loose the gift of eye sight.
[QUOTE=Mr mellow;25425560]STERILIZE ALL OF THESE (not the juice or the apples, the hardware. The more untouched the apples are the better)[/QUOTE]
So if my apples had dog shit on them, i should just leave it there to add to the taste? :ohdear:

Why would you add shitty apples?
I think FP needs an alcohol section.

We have a drug discussion subforum.
I made an identical thread there
All that happened was someone was like "dude! I am soooo baked right now!"
[QUOTE=itsDivine;25425641]The fuck, how does Cider cause blindness?[/QUOTE]
Bacterial contamination in moonshine is only one of the many problems of irresponsible homebrewing. WASH YOUR SHIT.
Don't drink this from this guy, he will try to blind you

we just finished making another large batch for belated christmas presents, and i found that it is possible to spur the reaction with more consistent but slightly less flavorful champagne yeast
There shouldn't be that much methanol in the resulting product, as long as you don't drink 4 litres you wont go blind.
yeah, thats why i removed the blindless from the OP
Where is the part where this kills me?
so many users posting in this thread that don't understand humor.
Mmm. Cider.
