What is ARL? I've seen it referenced but haven't found the post with an explanation, thanks
Most of my batches have a kind of "peak" alcohol aroma. Usually in the middle of the fermentation process, and they then calm down during week 3. It doesn't seem to effect the final flavor significantly.
You are actually on the cool side for rice wine, so you might not have as good of a conversion efficiency as you might want.
I also want to steal your laser thermometer.

I had a brainstorm. I started a batch using oatmeal. I also a batch using instant grits. I have no idea how this will taste. I also have no idea if I should add this post here.
Thanks Wes, now I'm going to have to start several more batches so I can have a pipeline! How much juice are you using?Just bottled my latest batch. Jasmine rice, flavored at bottling with pineapple coconut juice. After dinner I'll pasteurize and keep in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 months before opening. I've found with the process I've been using, it's well worth the wait. It turns out amazing. View attachment 180413

Damn....The pineapple coconut juice combo sounds friggin great. Definitely going to try it.
Oats and grits casserole... fish sauce. .. grits should be served with cheese.

Nice! Once you start with this stuff, it goes right into rotation if you're an avid brewer. Even if not a brewer, you'll most likely be making it often.

Day 24 spaghetti and potato finished
Since it is 8:00 am I will not be swallowing.
First the spaghetti:
Color: Cloudy urine.
Smell: Not bad but not great. Very alcoholic. A faint grainy smell. Many floral beer like smells much like a trappist ale or maybe a lambic. Almost smells like a bowl of Wheaties. The smell makes me wish it had some hops in it. A rather sweet floral citrusy smell.
Taste: Also not bad but not great. Drinkable...I think. Quite sweet. Floral notes. Lots of citrusy notes like orange juice. Lots of citrusy aftertaste. Lots of body. Very citrusy like a mixture of orange, lemon, and maybe pineapple juice. A taste almost like several day old Mountain Dew. Has a strong mouth bite but not in an alcoholic way.
Conclusion: Not something I will be doing again. Produced a drinkable product but its just not my thing. But for others this might be worth doing some more investigating.
Potato:
Color: The color of lemon juice.
Smell: Very paint like. Smells exactly like my wife's finger nail polish with a little bit of rotten egg mixed in. I should not have smelled it as hard as I did. Wasn't sure if I was going to survive it. Kind of nauseating.
Taste: It was very hard to bring myself to taste it. When I did taste it I actually gagged and almost vomited.
Conclusion: Nasty! Disgusting!
Epilogue: For others that are interested the spaghetti might be ok. I strongly advise everyone to not make the potato. However, YMMV.
So my new batch I started a course days ago has a blackish moldy looking on top of it. What do I do?

did you use ryr or some other red or black rice ?
Anyway just peel it off and stir it up . Stirring will stop the mold from taking hold . Maybe you have it a little too warm ?
