Dantheman,
Weren't you supposed to ask your aunt about the home-brew recipies? Did you find out anything you could share? Where are the Icelandic secrets?
Peace, love, and funny colors,

[edit] Iceland
Icelandic moonshine (landi) is distilled gambri or landabrugg [12]. It is largely made by hobbyists due to high liquor taxes [13], but used to be a prolific business during the prohibition [14]. Due to the lack of natural cover and harsh weather conditions, most "moonshining" activity occurs indoors in a controlled environment. Although potatoes are the most common constituent of Icelandic moonshine, any carbohydrate can be used, including stale bread. Landi is often consumed by people who cant buy alcohol, either due to their young age or distance from the nearest alcohol store
This is all I could find on it! I talked to my aunt and she said the people she knew that made it have moved, so I guess it's still a mystery.
