Re: Deadly homebrew
That's nuts!! Who knows what they were brewing. I can't imagine that could even happen with careless use of sanitation chemicals (bleach).
Perhaps it didn't ferment and developed some kind of toxin? https://lmgtfy.com/?q=botulism+toxin+symptoms

Re: Deadly homebrew
Likely some mistruth going on. SA has very strict alcohol laws, could be the story is being pushed to scare people away from making their own at home

Re: Deadly homebrew
Yeah that was my thought too. The story's more about how it's the law's fault and not about the deaths. Fake news!
