Major Dextrose Score!!!

SWMBO has her friends up this weekend. One of her friends works at a place that makes pharmicutical grade sugars. They have old sugar that was being disposed of for whatever reason.

I got 50lbs of Corn Sugar!!!! 800 oz is enough for 160 5-gallon batches.

Sweet! That's enough for 25 batches of Apfelwein too!

Do they have any more?

Hopefully they didnt store it next to the stool samples!

Sweet is right!!! Good idea. SWMBO loves cider so the majority will go to making cider.

Her friend told me after 2 years of sitting on the shelf they dispose of the sugar.

She said they filled two dumpsters with corn sugar!!!

The stuff is packaged in two 25lb drums, inside each drum is two plastic bags with 12.5lbs each.

Two drums were rescued for my sake.

It would be nice if the pharmicutical biz used malt extract...

Yeah! Take all that sugar, boil it till dissolved, add in a can of budweiser for yeast and certified beer flavor, and then add in some of those chewy fruit candies to make it a lambic. Then throw in a little bit of brewer's yeast. Ferment it all in a 55 gallon drum out on your back porch when your parents are out of town....

I see an EAC comment coming....

Not much good for anything to do with beer apart from priming.

Do you know anyione with a still?

Nobody I know has a still. If they do they usually keep it hush.

You're right it will be good for carbing and for making Ed's Apfelwein.

Damn thats a lot of sugar enjoy! :fro:

Now that's some hooch sugar!!! A good base for Jungle Juice Hooch :cross:

The EAC Beer Style

You can't beat FREE! It pays to know people. I can imagine the look on your face when you found out that you just inherited 50 lbs of sweet stuff. That's funny... I'll give that a 4 on the rock on scale.:rockin: :rockin: :rockin: :rockin:

Sweet!!!!!



LOL

I was offered lactose but declined on that. I would have to make a whole bunch of Cheese's Vanilla Carmel Cream. I suppose having some might be handy. hmm... Might ask about the sizes...

How many of you use lactose?

I've used maybe four, maybe eight ounces total, ever. A sweet stout, that was it. You could use it to sweeten a cider, perhaps, but I can't imagine going through even a couple pounds in a year.

Hell, I'm wondering what your plans are for the corn sugar...

I will use most of it for bottle carbing and some cider recipes. I never thought I would get that much. SWMBO's friend asked if I used corn sugar for beer. I said yes, so she picked some up.

When she arrived Friday I asked if she needed help unpacking the car. She said no, but your sugar is in the trunk. I popped the trunk, there was two good sized drums inside!!

If I was to get lactose I would most likely split it w/ somebody or several others.
