Do you dare me?

So i got 10 gals of juice and 4lb of sugar sitting here....Should i rinse the fermenter, or just dump the juice and sugar on top of the stout trub i just kegged

i'm think it could be an interesting prison style hooch/sorta thing, lol

I know that if it's honey it's a braggot, but I have no idea if there is a name for this....
I say go for it! Besides it's no juice from my cider if it fails..

 

[bracconiere]

there's a roast barley mead? interesting as well...

I'd normally call that a country wine. Fruit/ flowers/ roots + a bunch of sugar and yeast = country wine (ex dandelion wine, turnip wine, rhubarb wine).

I'd vote just to dump it directly on the yeast cake without washing as long as 'just kegged' being today or yesterday.

i get all the best names for my brews here! Country wine sounds good....so B.F.S.C.W, (Brüt Farmhouse Stout Country Wine, which actually doesn't make a very good anagram)

Cider with barley is called Graf (or sometimes Graff).

I thought graff was beer blended with cider? Or is it a co-ferment with juice + barley? How does that work?

Either way works. A beer yeast can easily handle the fermentation if you want to ferment together. Just add pasteurized apple juice after you make the wort, or toward the end of fermentation.
Or ferment separately and blend. It's all good

If you use unpasteurized juice and bottle, you need to monitor FG over a couple months to make sure it's stable.
