| At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy. |

That means beer too!!! I don't know of any brewery that adds sugar to its beer. The fermentable sugar comes from the malt and the adjunct grain (usually corn but sometimes rice or even potatoes) reacting during the "mashing process". When the yeast is added the sugar and yeast combine to form the alcohol. Who says being a tour guide at a brewery while in college would never pay off. Took me almost 40 years to be able to share that knowledge outside of my tour groups. | ||

| Subject: RE: Sugar Shortage Patti Said: Has anyone ever had Portuguese "white lightning"...Garry had it for the first time "many moons" ago, when we first started dating. My cousin's husband is of Portuguese decent and made it. I think we called it a "4 alarmer" after he took his first sip. Such a lovely shade of red adorned his face and the whites of his eyes...and if there could have been steam coming from his ears...(LOL)!!! Tom Sez: IIRC it's called Aguardiente (which translates roughly to "Hot Water"). We have a large Portuguese community here in northern NJ. They make it frequently every year after they press the grapes for their home made wine (which, by the way, is *very* good). After they finish pressing the grapes, they distill the skins, stems, etc. to make Aguardiente. The process is similar to when the Italians make Grappa. It goes down *real* smooth and has a kick like a mule. A few years back we were at a family Confirmation party (Catholic thing). During the party, my wife's cousin's next door neighbor broke out a bottle he had made and we started passing it around. Long story short, that night I was very glad I didn't have to drive and only walk across the street to my house.  | |||
