I wasn't joking, really. Grain based alcohol is a major engineroom cleaner. Ethenol brewed from a grain, some vodkas, gins and others are used in many products you may have in your toolbox. They are from the early and late end of the distillate, if I remember my 3 years at College, called the fins and fines. A good Malt is from malted Barley grain that has 'popped', thinking it is Springtime, converting the starch to a sugar, thus leading to a rich brew to be distilled. youTube Malt Whisky Production, a good guide to why it pays to buy well.

If you haven't had one yet, I'd suggest not to do that the moment you get the box. Wait for some nice occasion, like a pleasant summer dinner or something like that; also because it's a hour and a half smoke. And believe, when u'll be smoking.. life would seem more acceptable franz
