Can you go blind/hurt yourself from fermenting your homemade wine, NOT distilling it? ?

Q: Sorry, I did ask a similar question yesterday, but now as I understand it fermenting and distilling are two entirely different things. I am interested in making my own homemade wine and it’s been brewing for a day now. Everything is going well. I have heard though, that there is a risk of making methanol instead of ethanol (methanol is highly toxic and can make you go blind or kill you). I know this can happen from home distillation, which is illegal, but how about fermentation? (simply pouring in some saturated yeast and sugar into some grape juice and letting it fizz away for a few weeks?) Thanks for the help.

A: When you distill wine, the methanol boils at a lower temperature than ethanol so you get a higher methanol concentration in the first bit of the distillation.When you ferment wine, the methanol is in a much lower concentration. Actually, I wouldn’t be too surprised to hear that as you approach the boiling point of ethanol some of it reacts and becomes methanol, but I’m not exactly sure if that is possible.Anyways, fermented wines don’t have enough methanol to worry about. Also, you really think commercial wineries bother to take the methanol out of their wines? You’ve probably been drinking it for a long time.

Is there a country family that will be willing to take me in and learn to live off the land? I will do my best to help out with what ever needs to be done. Anyone? Does anyone else wish they were born a country boy?

A: Be careful of romanticizing the rural lifestyle. Country born boys (or girls) don’t always have an easy time of it. They may “survive” but they don’t always thrive. People can and do lose farms. Living off the land is not simple. Oftentimes weather doesn’t cooperate, and yes you can get plagues of the type described in the Bible…not to mention what drought can do to farmland. During the Great Depression, there was several huge agricultural problems in the Dust Bowl states. Hence the exodus of farmers and “Okies” migration into California. You can read about them in the novels Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men.Also, rural areas can be hit with big city problems. There are issues with drugs (meth in particular) and even gangs in the smallest of towns. There are family breakdowns and abuse as well.
