Very interesting joural paper. I didn't know, for instance, that there is no volcanic rock in Tonga. I especially like this quote "...the natives had been taught to distill ardent spirits from the saccharine ti root, which they now practice to a great extent, and exhibited, in a proportionate degree, all the demoralizing and debasing influence of drunkenness." :)

So Tayloroke, did you roast your Ti root prior to fermentation?
