    My first label

    I'm glad you like eneone.com. Sorry but I think it's easy to get ripped off when people pay homebrew supply to make their label. Not that you are. When I make label I print a lazer print so it's waterproof. Then mix 1 part Wondra with 3.5 parts water and let sit for 1 hour. Cook until thick...

    New Progress

    I think I have a chance making sake in Summer since I am on colder Cape Cod area and I have a basement now. Only way homemade sake can become clear is by decanting after chilling or use a beer filter. Nigori means cloudy but I heard samurai slang for nigori is crazy milk. After trying...

    Sake Top or Bottom Fermenting?

    I was wondering if sake was top or bottom fermenting. Maybe its middle? Sake is usually brewed during colder months from Fall to Spring.http://www.wyeastlab.com/winery/wi_temp&res_sugar.htm

    To harvest the yeast

    Why wash yeast? Is it possible to make more yeast from store bought amount before ever fermenting?

    Sake Done!

    So easy! Good taste, high alcohol content. Sake is really weird. It is called a rice wine but is made like a beer. I could decant to make clear but a lot of flavor comes from particles. I only had 3 cups and I am already a little drunk. Alcohol content higher than store bought sake...

    Making Sake!

    I believe kits have multiple items but all sake kits on net sell only spores to make malt rice. I don't have time to make malt rice so I am using malt rice from Japanese grocery store. A small tub costs 5$. I am using Cold Mountain Koji and bread yeast.

    Making Sake!

    When my second attempt was not going along well I posted on this message board for help. It turns out I screwed up the math and used 2.4 cups water instead of 7.2! I am really confident in my third run. It will be done at end of week. I will post how it turns out! Overall sake is very easy to...

    Fermenting Sake is Mush not Slurry

    Did I mention I am a beginner and I am an art student? I am bad at math! One reason why I did not suspect was that recipe says rice would absorb all water before fermentation started and that's what happened. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again!

    Sake is Mush, not Slurry

    Please help. My problem is that within 3 days rice should break down into a slurry and I am getting a mush instead that will not filter. First attempt I did not know to activate yeast so when the instructions said "pitch" I simply threw dry yeast in. It did ferment but the temperature was too...
