I saw some stuff online about doing 1 gallon of molasses and 2lb sugar for 5 gallons. To get about ~12%. But hey. This will be a fun test. They did this for hundreds of years by just throwing molasses and any other crap that could ferment into a still. I'm sure I can get through it.

How much molasses do you think I'd need for a 5 gallon primary? My still is only 3 gallons, buti can deal with that later.

It's very hard to describe because it's so sharp. I used a lot of hops and all the sugars were highly fermentable. It's very dry and tastes almost like a black tea with a lot of fruity and bittering hops. Hop burn is strong because it's only been 2 weeks. I bottled Saturday night and it's now...

Racking the stuff. Bottled and sampled. It's got some hop burn, but it's nice.

I'm in the first 24 of primary. My wife asked today why there was "pink crap" all over her cabinets.

The bubbler is bubbling! It really smells good! The smell of fermentation is so rewarding. @Jayjay1976 what would you call this Covid monstrosity? A wine with hops? A hard seltzer (assuming I carbonate it)?

I actually meant a bunch of Hops.

It's odd seeing everyone having access to Athletic. I have met the owner a few times at the bar I worked at. He used to bring us samples. The brown ale was really good. Almost no one had heard of them the next town over a few years back. Good on 'em. I find the Lagunitas Hop Water and Hop Lark...

Welp, we all got Covid and I'm locked down on a quarantine. Let's brew! I couldn't find my LME, but I have a bunch of hops and fruit I wanted to use. All fruit was fresh when frozen. 1 gallon bag of frozen grapes .5 gallon bag of frozen blackberries .5 gallon bag of frozen blueberries Small pack...

@Jayjay1976 Thanks for the tips. I have an electric range and plan on being a nerd about this process. I'll be dialing half of my next 5 gallon brew as well.

Rolling Rock is awful. And I had a beer from New Holland I could swear was called Madder Hatter and it was a 10% imperial IPA brewed with blue cheese? I feel like this was a fever dream. But I remember my wife and I had a hard time finishing that beer.

I can just upgrade my pump or have the cold water basin level with cooling elements, no? I can also use the kettle as a primary ferm vessel? I can upgrade as I go. It is made for small experiments.

I just got this from Santa. I hope to distill some malt liquor whiskey and date mead.

I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks!

I have alb of frozen pineapple, 1 big mango, 2 kiwis... Oh. Just found a bag of cranberries, a few unpeeled clementines, gooseberries...

At this point, I'm just trying to use the stuff I have "hoarded" in the freezer/cabinet. My wife is saying my hope already take up too much space. Covid destroyed the market in CT for house buying. This was all supposed to go into my guy space. Instead, it's annoying my wife! So, making super...
