    Anyone got a good recipe for making mash out of grass clippings? Not for
    drinking - going to try and run the mower off alcohol or gas/alcohol

    Did Google censor this conversation with llorum ipsum? I have never seen so many people talking complete gibberish.

    Three comments:

    1. You're replying to a Usenet thread that ended thirteen years ago.

    2. We don't see the trash that you are seeing. All of that spam is injected
    by Google Groups and rejected by everyone else in the world. A lot of
    sites won't even accept any postings from Google because so many of them
    are spam. Google Groups is the absolute worst thing to have ever happened
    to Usenet and if it is your only way to access Usenet I strongly suggest
    you look elsewhere.

    3. Grass clippings don't have much sugar in them; I don't think you would
    be able to do very effective fermentation. You might be able to do saki
    style fermentation with a malting enzyme to break starches down so they
    would be fermentable. But it would be MUCH easier just to do destructive
    distillation to methanol instead.
