I do not know if you were writing to me or not, but I'll respond. I have used every type of rice and brand an A+ AsianMart has. From sweet short to sweet medium to Thai long grain. The best batch I have had yet is with the Thai long. However, I will stand by you on this for sure, SOAK YOUR...

So I have been going at it pretty regularly, having at least two big batches and at least two smaller ones going at any time. The big ones on average yield three to six litres. The small ones, three. Brewing in those amounts has given me the flexibility to experiment. I keep both of the...

So the Black/Red rice batch was poo poo. No taste, no %. Keeping it around just for intrest, to see if its a late bloomer. The Almond powder batch, didn't flavor out, but the % is there. Oh well on to the next batches.

correction...blueberry not blackberry. Blackberry is coming, about two to three weeks off.

Here is what I pulled last night from my 23 November batches. From left to right, -this was batch 17 a mix of left over brown and sweet rice with rasberrys thrown in. total unplanned brewing. -plain ole brown rice, first time tryin it so I went missionary. -last one is blackberry I'll let...

Intresting!!

Got it. Mine is going now, i think it will be full bore by Friday night. Going to do a Blackberry/ Pear batch this weekend. On another note, I cannot believe how the raisen batches aged. It seems they get stronger everyday. Seems I need to do another few batches.

Dude...you rock! BTW rum toasted oak works, you just gotta pasturize and let it age.

So no sooner did I take this pic and pull out some Lalvin K1 to rehydrate....and noticed some airlock bubblige.

Thanks! It tastes like awesomesauce. lol. It didn't have a chance to make it to pasturization.

So here is the Kraken soaked Heavy Oaked batch. Pulled this AM for fining over the T day weekend. Initial impressions...nice color, nice Kraken/Oak flavor, not strong at the moment. I will give it a taste again next week, before pasturizing.

Hmm never new that @ the Viet ones. I wonderd why there was such a difference in my batches with the two. Chalked it up to different water. Any way there was no motion in that starter ocean...to the observable eye. I still split it between the two big batches (800ml each) soguess I will see...

I attempted a starter slurry like yours, for this last group, and It wouldn't get going. I am going to try again and try it further out, like five days maybe. I wanted to use up my Viet yeast tabs that I had remaining (24), so I crushed them up with some nutrient and enegizer, two tablespoons...

Well I hope you didn't toss it. I make A habit of bottling at least one bottle from all batches and throwing it in the back of the closet for a few months. My thai pepper batch was insane, I wanted to toss it. I tried it again after a few weeks and it only got better. It was "yeasty" as a...

These are some angry batches! I brewed these yesterday. They are making my airlocks put in overtime. Kinda screwd myself by limiting that last one to only one gallon. I woke up this morning and had to throw the whole thing jar and all into a home depot bucket...hope it doesn't mold over. I...

Its safe, lol. Go to home depot and get some paint filters for future batches. Looks good though.

True, I let mine sit awhile before I toss em in. Gives me time to start another batch.

BIG MOUTH BUBBLERS ftw!

No I refuse to touch mine until the four week mark. Thus the larger batches :). However, I am going to start pulling them at three, because my last few have been on the dry side. I have to brew and bottle this weekend, so If I try I will let you know.
