29.4.20 What It All Boils Down To...

Today we are continuing our exciting learning journey in to the wonderful world of distilling hard liquor. The children have set up a prototype still and are wearing the appropriate PPE as it is indoors - safety first! We will of course also be holding a pre-emptive fire drill this morning... All being well we hope to extract a sufficient volume of aqua vitae from our raisin-based mash to begin investigating how much hooch will keep Daddy virus-free. To quote Benjamin Franklin, "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom and in water there is bacteria". Should our experiment be successful we will move to full scale production with a larger set up in the school grounds. We have yet to settle on a name and the children are also busy mocking up some brand concepts for your approval.
