Reply to comment by Jeramus in TIL that incarcerated prisoners make a contraband drink in prison called "pruno" which entails fermenting fruit, sugar cubes, bread, and water in a ziplock bag a several days. by FlashyBehind
We used a whole bottle of ketchup in our last batch, along with hard candies from the nuns and soda for extra sugar.

So how does it taste? Ketchup, candy, and soda does not sound like a winning combination.

Its not very important how it tastes... But to be honest I'm not sure, I tried the pruno once and now I just help make it since other people don't understand the basic science of what's going on. I usually tell people to add soda after I pour them a cup if they have issues with the taste or strength.

I understand that if it is the only alcohol you can get that taste wouldn't matter. I was just curious.

Like spoiled wine? Or rotten fruit? Kinda like barf? Very acidic. Very bitter. The goal is to make all the sugar into alcohol so it usually isn't sweet unless you backsweeten it.
