I for one wouldn't carry a lot of booze on a passage. Are there any good tips on making hooch from local fruits and such? Not the jailhouse varity, something a little safer? I've brewed beer and wine and assume it's similar, anything would help!

Just sniff your petrol

what is this site coming to???

It takes up too much space to try and make it. For wine, it needs to settle. Can't do that on a moveing boat.

Wes, you may want to be careful of the use of the word Hooch. In many other countries, this is a name for Marajauna.
We all assume you are asking about making Alcohol. As Del has said, it takes a lot of room and a heap of a lot of sugar to boot. Then if you want it more potent than Wine, then it has to be distilled. Not sure you would want a still on a boat.

Hooch is dope, cannabis, weed, Marajauna in NZ. Alcohol is grog, piss, drink, booze.

In North America, Hooch is slang for Liquor, especially home made, cheap, or illegal.
I’ve heard that the term comes from Hoochihoo, a liquor used by the Hutsnuwu Indians.
In Viet Nam, Americans called a hut or simple shelter, a Hooch (hootch?).

The local liquor store where I grew up in NY was named 'Homer's Hootch Hatch".

I've never heard MJ called Hootch in Asia. But I've only been here 25 years - LOL

In the Philippines I have heard it called "djutz" (phoenetically) - I don't really know the origin of that one.

On the OT - Why carry all the mixin's when they already distill it and pack it into convenient bottles for you ;-)

It was just a thought! Hooch in the states is homemade booze. You guys are hilarious, no cannabis for me thanks, it's been a while since I graduated high school.
I know that stores can be hard to come by in the middle of the pacific, but you might find a nice mango tree or star fruit tree on a nice deserted island. Could make some tasty wine?

It seems that wine takes several months before you can even think of drinking it and having it taste good. While I couldn't argue with staying on a deserted island with plenty of fruit trees and a fresh water source for a few months, I think that might over stay most of the visas you can get. (Usually 3 months from what I hear) On the other hand, you could always make up a batch, bury it, come back a year or two later, hope nobody found it and if they didn't, PARTY!!!

A few years ago I flew to Malaysia.
On the flight back, we made a stop in Singapore. Whenthe plane (Singapore Airlines) started to descend and the seat belts announcement came over the speakers, I was pleasantly shocked to hear that. The message was delivered by a petite flight attendant with such a sweet pleasant voice. That statement was the last sentence of the announcment and by the tone of her voice, it may have as well been a birthday greeting or similar, the polar opposite of a clerk in the US Post Office or the DMV. I guess you had to be there to fully appreciate the moment.
