    Yep. The longer you leave it in the freezer the stronger it gets.

        Freezing is just another form of distillation process, just not using evaporation and condensation, I doubt there's a yeast that can survive at anything like 30% alcohol so 40+% brewed wouldn't be possible.
        I suppose with some genetic engineering it might be possible, but alcohol is a very effective poison so I doubt it.

        Fortified drinks are typically brewed or wine fermented then a strong spirit is added in suitable proportion. Port for instance is a strong red wine with brandy added.

              Why go to all the trouble to make something tulip.... when there are plenty of drinkable things already.....

              I always laugh at the numpties at Beer Fests.... "Gimme a Pint of Baz's Bonce Blower" (substitute any undrinkable "Strongest Beer in the World")

              These beers ALWAYS taste tulipe and make you puke

                Apparently, you're supposed to share the bottle around with your mates - one shot each...

                    Because to do it with heat like they do for whiskey needs a license but to do it with cold does not
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!
