Ugandan Waragi: The making of Uganda's Moonshine 🇺🇬 

Thank you Simba....am blessed to have you here....

Very nice kinyuajia sawa.

Haha..

Indeed better than of all vodka

@isaacnimwesiga8115 I taste it and that was it for me.....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the drink could hit so different......I almost got drunk 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is so interesting.....just come to Uganda and enjoy everything here at a very affordable prices..... Thanks for this....I learnt something here....thank you Zafer...

Happy to have you here dear....and thanks for watching..

Oooh my dear...all the memories being brought back in this video...thank you so much Nakintu..

AMEENA ♥ ♥ ♥

Haha...thank you Miss Britt....that place was rich with so many different types of foods...

"Culture" please, Africa and "culture".

Wow...happy to have you here....now you know what you are talking about...this is so great..

Thank you Mr Steve...in Eastern Uganda...they ferment sugarcanes to make Waragi.....and someone in the comments said others use Irish potatoes..what I learnt is people make Waragi from different materials according to where they come from....

@@EatingTheAfricanWay Nickolas - I’ll bet that “juice” right out of the still was pretty potent. Any idea of the proof - the % alcohal? I doubt those tow men had an hygrometer handy and the proof was probably pretty high.

Mr Steve, Juice that come out after is one of the Liquids that will burn your lungs out...I tasted it and I felt fire inside my body...that whole week.....my body wasn't stable....and what amazes me is they use eyes to measure everything.....even the pressure in the container....yet at any time it can explode....they are living a life of risk...

@@EatingTheAfricanWay True, it is a dangerous occupation…but also seems to be a somewhat successful “cottage industry”. They remind me of “moonshiners” (a maker if illegal whiskey) from America’s south. The name was derived from a tradition of creating the alcohol during the nighttime, thereby avoiding detection…and paying taxes on the liquor.

What!!! Hahaha...thanks for sharing this Mr Steve....imagine from this...is where he gets the money to take kids to school and also get other requirements......risking his life..for the family.... Do you see how such stuff bring back the memories..

🤣🤣🤣🤣 we get drunk the African way 🤣🤣

Thank you so much my Maaso Glory...am so greatful...munayee....🙏🙏

Thanks for watching...

Thanks for sharing this......

Thank you Asaba...am happy to have you here...

Aww...happy to have yoy here...am happy you got some idea from this video..... you can even visit us and see how this is done on ground....

@@EatingTheAfricanWay That would be cool! We have a massive migrant community in my city in New Zealand, maybe I can track down some of the people still brewing and distilling the old way! Keep up the good work cuz, I'm watching!

@MrSomethingElse please do look for them...... thanks so much for the support...

Thanks too for watching..

Thank you so much Muzunguu...happy to see you again

🤣🤣🤣 he never felt a thing....he's main job is to taste

Who will drink the half little waragi...🤣🤣🤣 I don't want to die now....hahaha.. Thank you thank you Prakash for watching and also sharing with us..

My king,now i know the beginning of the end or the end of beginning In Uganda ,the economy is in the hands of indians.few years ago,one Muhindi(indian)was selling waragi,vodka in the plastic sacket,now they are using bottle The indians have sugarcane plantations,and waragi and vodka factories The ugandese are drinking and making babies... In the nothern of Uganda ,young generations are zombies,but they vote Museveni ,because he let them free May be the indians introduced waragi in Uganda,because the bantous didnot know to make waragi ,

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 webale nyoo ssebo...am so greatful.....how do you rate this video..

Munayee...its the local way they used and still using...they can't afford machines.... Am happy to see you...Seabreeze

It depends on whoever is making the juice though most people use their hands entirely without the feet.

There's some grass used to squeeze that juice out with bare hands instead of the feet.

Happy to see you Joshua.....also it deeps on the amount of bananas used and the deepest of the container.

Yes yes...you are right.....

You know it right.....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 talk about it...you wonder how someone came up with such an idea......fear mankind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for checking in...🕺🕺

Mbu mugulu teri mwenge.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nze sibadekoo waano 🤣

Just know baganda are so wise people 😌

🤣

Thanks dear....I really wanted to waste ka myself....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and also wanted to know how its done..

@@EatingTheAfricanWay 😂😂😂 not with that amateur reaction you gave at the end

Mukama.....that was not diluted.....it was straight from the source....even the man who always produces it...was putting the teeth out...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 trying the direct translation.... he warned me before drinking it...but I had to taste.... That was the end of my life....🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@EatingTheAfricanWay Next time we should hear from the badi guy at 18:24 😎😎

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that badi guy was so silent......he refused to even smile....he was too serious throughout the video...

Are you sure...😳😳😳

Taata woo akuzala ebyadala.....okakassa

I think your Ancestors loved alcohol alot....hahaha...tell them am so greatful..

@@EatingTheAfricanWay AMIN

Imagine all this knowledge......me I was amazed with the process......

Yes, organic chemistry. Africans are geniuses contrary to what the mzungus termed as barbaric and savages. In fact, judging from history of Africa colonization the mzungus are the barbarics and savages.

🤣🤣🤣 on with you Ashley.....it's now the opposite....haha...thanks for watching..

Me am silent...let me be a student..

@Sergeant yeah not to mention they are using open air fermentation with wild yeast and distilling out of what looks like rusty carbon steel oil drums and using gas cans to fill them. Not exactly the safest or most efficient still i've ever seen. But at least he's dumping the foreshots.

Thank you for seeing that...its indeed it was a hard.....but we managed..... Happy to see you again..

This is the best drink better than all the likes of kyanga 'cassava 'maize and others.

@isaacnimwesiga8115 yes that right....I have tasted all...but this was the most pure one...

Look at all these memories.....the time must have been the best life to live .....I was also scared when it came to distillation process due to what can happen along the way...

Thanks for watching my friend....you can come and have a blast

Thanks bro..

Hahaha...thanks for watching Nalaka..

Thank you so much Sister to sister...am so greatful...its too dangerous but they always do their best..

May I ask why it's dangerous?

The process is so dangerous......if they make any mistakes and don't balance the pressure inside the tank.....it can burst and burn anyone near...

@@EatingTheAfricanWay thank you

Thank you so much......I came to East and filmed where kamaleya grows from and the process it goes through.....also made another video to show how its cooked.....those videos are on this channel..

Webale kulabba video munayee

Hahaha...

@@EatingTheAfricanWay am from kenya i did not mean any offence.......here in kenya we make waragi from either sugar can/honey i gues the receips is different in every african community.don't forget to visit us neighbour

Yeah alcohol is made from made things...it depends on where you come from .....in northern Uganda there's a tribe that makes alcohol from cassava.....in Eastern Uganda they use sugarcane....in Central and western Uganda they make it from small bananas.....but remember other people use Irish potatoes ....so it depends on the resources......soon I want to visit Kenya it's at my heart...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you Shack....

Wow..happy to have you here Gama

We love you too...

Thank you Tina

Tina, we do need machines, more effective machines but since we can't afford them, we invent alternatives. What's needed is for us to continue improving on what we currently have. That's how development goes. But we tend to settle with the crude technology and never take the extra step to improve our crude technology.

@Margaret637 yes your right....we need to keep improving on our products..

Aww...Lambanog....interesting name..thanks for watching Csaridon..

Thank you Johnson
