Home brew kit mistaken by police as a bomb. What on earth was he using?

Er ... from the write-up "... home brewed alcohol ..." could equal "still"?

There is a possibility that the body found alongside "... potentially volatile and flammable items ..." had succumbed to one of the dangers of running a still; or alternatively, he may have died of natural causes.

Like the Aberdonian who got run over by a bus as he ran out into Union Street to pick up a 5p piece. The Procurator Fiscal declared that he had died from "Natural Causes"!

"It has since been established that the items were used in the production of home-brewed alcohol and did not pose a risk to the public."

Makes you wonder if the still killed him (assuming that's what it was) or if it was something else.

If he was distilling (dangerous, not legal) I wish they would write that and not that he was brewing (safe, legal). Doesn’t help the reputation of the hobby to see headlines like that.

Whatever the cause was, we can only hope that he died with a smile on his face and a glass of home-brew in his hand.
