OK
so I'm bored and I have two weeks until I can get to the brew shop.
Having animals I always have wet cob running around some where and have decided to try making ale with it.
I have not hops, I do have.
1qt sugar
2qt wet cob
5gal water
1 packet redstar champagne yeast
I put the water on to boil and added the sugar when it was warm enough to stir in but not boiling then added the wet cob, covered and waited for a simmer.
Simmered for 60 min and ladled (keeping as much of the wet cob as I could out) into a sanitated carboy in cold water to let cool.
I then put 1/4cup sugar and 2cups water into a pot and warmed enough to to dissolve the sugar, let cool to 100deg and pitched the yeast.
I let the wart cool to 105deg and added the starter and an air lock.
Now we wait.
