Homemade Booze
SpanishFly writes, "I have a 'make your own absinthe' kit here, fucking terrified of making it...
"Tell us your stories of when you got so drunk on homemade mead you pissed in the cupboard.
Or tell us about the time you tried to buy wine stabiliser but got chased out of the friendly merchants shop because that compound is used to bash cocaine.
Tell us about the trials and tribulations of not being able to afford 4 cans of strongbow and couldn't brew your own poison so you got pissed on antifreeze and the next day pissed in your own mouth."
Thanks SpanishFly. MAKE THE ABSINTHE

Sorry, I was just channelling my inner arnie. But now you're talking maths.
One of my bags was an MEC duffle bag I bought in Vancouver, similar to this, www.mec.ca/product/5030-442/mec-duffle-bag/?f=10+50590, with a volume of 115 litres. Now a standard bushel of apples is 2,150.42 cubic inches, and has a standard weight of 48 pounds. or 21 kilos for 35.23 litres. This means this bag could potentially hold 68kg of apples at maximum capacity. Now as these were large apples I'd expect it to have a slightly higher void volume on average, though having a mix of apple sizes actually decreases void volumes given some sorting. at least, this logic is true for grain packing in sand so I'd expect it to apply to apples
The other bag was a different model and slightly smaller. I carried one like a backpack, and the other across one shoulder. Given that they were both full of apples, I'd say my estimate of weight may have been on the low side.
But as I said, it was the most arduous bit of carrying I'd ever done. I was going about two houses then having to sit down and psych myself to do it again. Over and over again. It was motivated by me being a cheapskate, as paying money for a cab would defeat the economical attraction of homemade alcohol

From "I made some cider from lots of apples, but didn't share it with anyone", to the volume of your sack,

it was more for the "unnecessary suffering because I'm cheap" aspect rather than the "I have the strength of 20 men" boasting that I recalled it.

now that the internet hard man crust has been broached. I do dead lift 220kg for reps and squat 155kg but I got into lifting too late.
