Test Your Good Stuff

[bluecap]

Hi i came across this simple test on-line for testing the quality of your good stuff, how accurate the test is i don't know but it seems like a lot of testing in this game requires your judgment rather than set in stone.
Take a glass that you would normally drink out of and rinse it heavily with water- there should be no soap residue. Then dry the cup with a clean towel (to prevent mineral salts from being left behind after the water evaporates).
Pour in a little of the spirit you are testing, and swirl the glass around until the spirit has totally coated the inside of the glass.
Once there is a thin "film" of alcohol covering the inside of the glass- pour out the excess alcohol (drink it), and leave the glass somewhere where it won't be broken.
The next morning, smell the glass

If there is a nice perfumed aroma (for aged or other flavored spirits) or absolutely nothing (for vodka), congratulations- you've made good booze.
If there is any brackish, sour, solvent-like, or wet cardboard flavors- shame on you- you got greedy and ended up with heads or tails in your spirit.

That's all there is to it. Suprisingly effective test, considering how easy it is.

lol this morning 3 of were passing a empty glass around to see if there was any smell, it was ok by the way, we even stuck it under the dogs nose to see if he reacted, he just looked at us as if we were stupid.
