Changa´a

Jag kan inte undanhålla er dena fantastiska beskrivning, närmast recept, på Changa från Wikipedia och tidningen. Är det detta man dricker på barerna så är det inte konstigt att man dör knall o fall.

1 jäs mjöl, gäst, yoghurt, socker i 20 dagar
2 Tillsätt jetbränsle, formalin, baterisyra, feces (skit), gamla damunderkläder, kadaver
3 häll upp i ett High ball glas med någon isbit
4 dekorera med mango o cherry bär
5 Njut



Changaa or Chang'aa (literal meaning "kill me quick"[1]) is an alcoholic drink which is popular in Kenya. Distilled from grains like millet, maize and sorghum, it is very potent. Its production and distribution is controlled in many cases by criminal gangs like the Mungiki. Gang violence in the Nairobi slum of Mathare escalated after local brewers asked another gang to intervene against the Mungiki when they increased their "tax" on the drink.[citation needed]
Illegally brewed changaa could be purchased for around US$0.15[2] to $0.25[1] per glass. The alcoholic content is sometimes increased by adding substances like jet fuel, embalming fluid or battery acid, which has the effect of giving the beverage more 'kick'.[1][3] Drinkers have suffered blindness or death due to methanol poisoning.[2] In Nairobi slums like Korogocho, the water used to make the drink is often contaminated with feces, and women's underwear along with decomposing dead rats have been found in the drink during police raids.[1]
The Kenyan government legalised the traditional home-brewed spirit in 2010, in an effort to take business away from establishments where toxic chemicals are added to the brew to make it stronger. [4] Under the new law, changaa must be manufactured, distributed and sold in glass bottles, and retailers must display health warning signs. Sale to individuals under age 18 is still prohibited, as is sale through automatic vending machines. Anyone making or selling adulterated changaa risks penalties of five million shillings, five years in jail, or both.[5]

Chang’aa - Jet fuel 'makes brew stronger'

Nairobi - Jet fuel has become a major component in a local illicit brew drunk by many urban poor in Nairobi, a local newspaper reported on Thursday.
The Daily Nation newspaper quoted a brewer and seller of the illegal changaa liquor in a Nairobi slum, saying airport workers sell jet fuel to a well established net of customers who sell it on to brewers in the city.
The brewer said jet fuel is used to make the drink stronger - and it is also much cheaper than traditional ingredients, making the profits higher.
The newspaper reports said brewers also use formalin, a chemical used to preserve bodies, to shorten the brewing period.
"We don't have the time to go through long processes of preparation (of the original changaa brew). The drunkards are readily available with money, and all they need is something to make them high," said Mama Pima, the slum brewer.
The traditional changaa is made of maize flour, sorghum yeast and different types of sugar, but takes 20 days to make. – dpa
Giving a new meaning to the phrase "getting high," jet fuel has become a major ingredient in the illicit changaa moonshine brew drunk by many urban poor in Nairobi. According to a distiller interviewed in the local media, airport workers sell purloined jet fuel to a network that in turn sells it to brewers in the city. The jet fuel is used to make the drink stronger, and has the added bonus of being much cheaper than traditional ingredients, making the profits higher. Another mystery ingredient used by the bootleggers is formalin, a chemical used to embalm bodies, which shortens the manufacturing time. Traditional changaa is made of maize flour, sorghum yeast and sugar, but takes 20 days to make.
