Alot of people will buy beer like Molson Canadian or Budweiser because it's cheap and plentiful, right? We figure, what's more plentiful than the grass growing in all our front yards!

People have been making alcoholic drinks for thousands of years out of all kinds of crazy things just to stay drunk. Think of the first guy who tried Vodka; he probably sipped it out of a half-rotten, mouldy potato. Grassohol takes that same genius' concept and makes it easy for all of us to share in the comfort of our own homes.

You have all heard or experienced Rye Whisky before. This concept doesn't stray too far from that, only instead of Rye, Grassohol uses only the finest Kentucky Bluegrass varieties to produce a rich, earthy liqueur that goes down as easy as last Sunday's yard work. So throw away your old, ratty composter and start throwing your lawn clippings into a Grassohol still today!

       I heard somewhere that grass produces a toxin when you cut it, but maybe it was just propaganda.

       I don't think grass has enough usable sugars in it to ferment.

       If the purpose of making the grassohol is to power the lawn mower, I heartily endorse the plan.

       I see no reason why this shouldn't work, after all you can ferment wood. I only wonder that no one has done it yet.

       /You can ferment wood/ you can even ferment lichens if you're desperate. Sweden was forced to do this when normal sources of vodka ceased to function.

       Zubrowka vodka is flavored with Buffalo Grass.

       Shown here, grass fermentation can yield almost 1% alcohol. (linky)
