Would this "whiskey" recipe work?
CANADIAN WHISKY
2 lb. wheat, 2 lb. raisins, 1 lemon, 4 oranges, 3 lb. sugar, 1 oz. yeast, 5 qts. water, 1 tablespoonful of freshly made tea.
Boil half the water with half the sugar for one minute and then pour on the wheat and raisins. Put the lot into the fermenting vessel and
squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Cut up the oranges and their peel and put these with the rest. Work the orange peel between the fingers
to press out the oil-much flavour is obtained form this. When cool add the yeast and ferment for ten days. Then strain out the solids and wring out as dry as you can and put the strained liquor into a gallon jar with a tablespoonful of freshly made tea.
Boil the rest of the sugar and water of one minute and when this is cool add to the rest. Cover as directed or fit fermentation lock and leave until all fermentation has ceased.
- There is no distilling involved, so I'm wondering what kind of alcohol content this would give. WOuld it work? Thanks.
Answers:
It would make a weird whiskey wine. Don't expect more than 12 to 13 % alcohol. Honestly though, it is going to taste pretty terrible. Stick to home brewing wine and beer.

Definitely. Ease tired hooves and take the flock off the wallpaper.
