Coming from a complete moron like yourself, that doesn't hold much water.
Dragging up old threads to make stupid comments.
You're such a Putz.

Yeah, the eqpt. is not designed for that.

Alternative uses?

Given I can't got no corn mash in the damned thang ... :-)

less pure than the bottled distilled water on the
store shelf?
