I think what he meant was "if it says 4 quarts of orange juice
and 1 Gal of grain alcohol," it might be that someone along
the line made a transcription error and the recipe might be
wrong by an unknown amount.

Which might just be a big FD, or not, depending on the recipe.
Seems like a valid observation, anyway.
