Its been over a year since I have brewed anything other than rice wine. Im ready to get back into it and I am purchasing my ingredients now. I have some tablets of potassium metabisulfite leftover that are unopened, are they still okay? The sorbate I am most worried about, the bag was opened and...

Its a dish here in china. After 3 days you can eat the porrige. You can also strain it and put cooked sweet sesame paste dumplings in warmed liquid. Awesome dessert!

2 days down and things are going well. I skimmed through the chinese directions on the jiuqu i bought and it said to sprinkle some crushed jiuqu on top of everything after you've mixed some in. So i'm two days in and already have a pretty sweet mold colony on top. We will see how it turns out it...

Edit: double post because of ****ty starbucks interwebs. sorry.

Yup, jiang mi jiu. Glutinious rice wine, i cant pull up your picture im at starbucks and the internet is slow. Those characters are right though.

To play devils advocate a bit hopefully not challenging you too much: Im all for going against snobbery and judgement of those that do not conform to the rules and guidelines, but don't you think those rules are there for a reason? And as someone who's scotch palate hasnt evolved yet that they...

I agree, but he said he was cutting it with water. I assumed that implied more than one or two drops. Agreed though, i pour hot water in my glass and leave it for a minute. I then pour the water out leaving a drop or two thats stuck to the side. Delicious.

I would warn against watering down, you are destroying the flavor and I think you are dragging out the time it takes you to get used to it. I enjoyed my third glass of single malt scotch neat. The first two were a little rough. When I tried to get my wife into it it took about two glasses...

I filled my jar 2/3 the way with rice. Everyone seems to have a lot more headspace than that. Will I run into trouble? I talked to the rice guy at the market near my house and he said if my goal was an unfiltered milky white rice wine then glutinious rice was the way to go. He said the best and...

Def. want to pick her brain for a bit. I can't go to my wifes hometown for spring festival （next week）because of visa issues. However, since I will be missing such a huge holiday I will need to visit pretty soon after, most likely April. If y'all have any questions you are...

I live in China （my wife is Chinese）and although rice wine drinking has died out quite a bit, my wife's great aunt is still an avid rice wine fan, drinks the stuff every meal of every day. Hers is cloudy, and sometimes still has a grain or two of rice in it. Ive seen clear rice...

Doberman would be my first choice of those. Sweetest dogs ever! What about getting a rescue mutt instead of a purebreed? Shelters are filled with big dogs that they have to put down because no one wants a large breed these days. My brother adopted a boxer pitbull mix that was an abused...

I'd add sugar. Also depending on how dry it turns out, you may want to backsweeten so youd need kmeta and sorbate for that.

Wow so many great responses, thanks! My father in law wants me to teach him something, and he has jujube trees in his yard. That wine will be perfect for that! Yes we have wolfberries, they put them in poultry soups and in herbal teas sometimes, nice nutty flavor if i remember correctly...

I was lucky that my first experience with liquor was neat single malt scotch （the macallan 12）I drank a glass every night. First two or three nights was difficult, but I went out and bought another bottle shortly. I finished 3 bottles before i tried another liquor. I found I could...

Ooo ginger thats good, didnt think of that. I can get that nice and cheap.

Yeah honey is available, and i personally thought a green tea mead or a pomelo melomel would be great, however I have two concerns. 1. It can't require a lot of aging. I want to use them as gifts, and Chinese people love to drink haha. A couple months is fine, but id doubt theyd last longer...

And I'm looking for help. I live in China and I was thinking about some local ingredients I can source cheap and that are in season. I came up with some things that would either make a good wine, or atleast interesting additions. Hawthorns or haw berries Green tea Jasmine tea Chrysanthemum...

I really like mexican food y'all.

I would say old crow medicine show is bluegrass, they have less of the jam band feel that most “string bands” have.
