The bacon vodka is almost ready
I've been watching Evan's quest to make bacon vodka unfold, and I'm overtaken by a mixture of curiosity and nausea.
He's using cutting edge technology to filter out all of the little blobs of fat for extra pure bacon vodka.
See, I know I'm going to have a shot of it on Thursday at the soiree (yes, it's still on for Idle Hour, 203 E. Fort Ave. at 7 p.m.).
Maybe I'll do it of my own free will, or maybe I'll be suckered into doing a shot. I'm not sure which one.
But I'll have a Resurrection handy to wash the evil taste out of my mouth.
And I better not be the only one drinking this stuff, either.

i personally pledge to hold the hand of whoever takes a shot while they do it.

Those centrifuge tubes better be sterilized. And even so, after knowing how many generations of antibiotically resistant bacteria have grown in them, I still find their usage a bit nasty.

Greg, that's a really good point. Evan, if I drink your bacon vodka and get ebola we're going to have words.

I can personally guarantee that those containers aren't used for spinning down bacteria preps (we use disposable 50mL conicals for that, our preps are never over 200mL). Plus I autoclaved them before use, and rinsed them with EtOH prior to autoclaving them. So yeah, they were clean. Also the vacuum filter is packaged sterile if anyone wonders further.
I guess I should have mentioned that for the people recognizing the equipment being used!
