I like wines you can buy, and now that I'm back in the US, I live in the middle of wine country in Northern California. I love tasting from the many, many local wineries. But that said: I like to do things that the wineries don't do, including fruit wines. Apfelwein and mead variations are...

+15 gallons = 30,306 gallons. I just recently moved back to the US, and after settling down, I started again. I always do some variation, and seldom the exact same original recipe, so this is 10 gallons boosted by dark brown sugar, and 5 gallons boosted by honey, and this thread has been going...

I would go on to say that this is why it tastes so much better in the Makgeolli houses in Korea that make their own. Some of those places just pour it out of a bottle, but some actually make their own. The Makgeolli and Dongdongju there has the full flavor without the sweetener added, and you...

Interesting that long after I've stopped actively participating in this forum that the two makgeolli threads (this one, and one where someone else referenced this) have come active and sent me emails :). First of all, Kadiya, congratulations on the baby, and congratulations on making it to...

I sent you a PM with an answer to your question. :)

Look, I'm not trying to fight, and I'm not trying to get into a match to see who can piss the highest. I'm giving my opinion, and I express it as my opinion. The recipe I started with was just what my wife remembered about when her mother made it when she was growing up. It turned out like...

이롷게? 예, 한국어 읽을 수 있어요. 하지만, 니가 한글로 안 썼으니까 좀 어렵다. 저음&#50640...

I'm not sure who you're responding to, but if it was me, the stuff at the makgeolli houses I was talking about isn't like the bottled makgeolli at all. Even among the bottled ones, though, I don't think I've found one that is sweet. I've found a number i don't think have much flavor, though...

I live in the Haeundae-Gu area of Busan. More specifically, I live in the "Marine City" district. I can see Gwangan bridge, Gwangalli, and Dongbaek-Seom from my house if that gives you an idea. I make a trip to Seoul almost every week as a lot of my business is there, and I make it to other...

I haven't been on here for several years I think, but for some reason I was notified of this message on this thread :). Since I was on here, my wife, our youngest and I have moved back to Korea. I don't make makkeolli anymore because it is so easy and cheap to get really good makkgeolli...

Hello folks, I live in Sammamish, WA. I am moving out of the country (as in out of the US) and won't be able to take things like my bottles with me. I have literally dozens of beer bottles, and dozens more champagne bottles, and a few wine bottles of various descriptions. The beer bottles...

For those who won't find this because it's buried many pages back: one teaspoon of yeast nutrient/gallon prevents Rhino Farts.

A few months ago, I posted in this thread that I was testing Pasteur Red on a batch of this. Someone else was trying that as well. When I bottled, I actually thought the Montrachet yeast was going to be better. After it's had a chance to age a comparable amount of time (> 6 months for both)...
