    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    bottled mine yesterday. My yield was ~144oz from 18c dry rice. I drained it through jersey cotton and didn't really go overboard on pressing the rice mass. I had a spoonful og the leftover rice, which tasted like vanilla champagne. I bottled in beer bottles with crown caps and pasteurized...

    Pulling bottles from your neighbor's recycle bin - thrifty or across the line?

    I would be very uncomfortable with someone going through my recycling bin. Besides bottles, there are torn up credit card applications, bills, etc. ID theft is a real concern. If I see someone sneaking around my trash, they are going to have a very uncomfortable time explaining themselves...

    Pulling bottles from your neighbor's recycle bin - thrifty or across the line?

    There are definitely ways to have the conversation without being awkward. "Hey I'm making some wine, do you have any empty bottles I can have?" "I'm collecting wine bottles. Could you save a few for me?" Receiving 10 honestly is better than getting 50 dishonestly. I can promise you if he...

    The necks really aren't designed to take the pressure of a cork being forced in there.

    plastic 1/6bbl kegs

    another consideration; They claim their kegs will hold wine for "up to 6 months". Maybe they're worried about oxygen issues?

    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    I just finished cooking up 18 cups of rice. It seems way mushy, but it's still hot. I'll take pics as it cools and I get it in the bucket with the yeast balls. I used a hotel pan in my oven as a giant rice cooker. So excited!

    Easy Stove-Top Pasteurizing - With Pics

    Junkie, Unless you backsweeten with something unfermentable like splenda or lactose, the yeast will chew it up along with your priming sugar. I usually backsweeten with splenda to taste, then add my priming sugar, then bottle. *all at once*
