Lol, that's not very nice. It isn't like he was smoking bath salts. I'm sure he is just in the hospital for salmonella poisoning.

I'm open to hearing the results of the experiment, looking forward to it as a matter of fact. OP was active for several days on a few threads and then went radio silent. I hope he's ok and comes back to play "Good Idea, Bad Idea" again some time.

Forgot all about this forum lol, my memory is not the best. Anyway, the brew has cleared up amazingly well. Now the brew looks yellowish (applecider looking), tastes acceptable and everything's fine. I'm sorry, that's all I can say about it really. I'm drinking and enjoying it, and I don't think the egg or milk powder made any difference to the added apples.
1/4 of the bottle is white powder (probably a mix of protein and other leftovers) where the top of that powder is where the apple bits and pieces are lying covered in yeast (it looks like mold to be honest, but I can't imagine how mold could grow under water) and hopefully that yeast is only the baking yeast used.
As for the other bottle I brewed, which contained a slight bit of this pancake mix brew, it's cleared up much better, and has a darker looking appleciderish look to it, but tastes the same as the first one.
I am also making a carrot one, where I had boiled the carrots in sugar but not squished them, and then after the water had cooled I added it to my container with yeast from my first two brews, and the carrot brew has gotten a red and orangeish look to it (as can be expected). The carrot brew still has some time to go before it's ready - probably an additional 2 weeks or so, and it's looking good so far.
Unless something crazy happens, I think this is the end. I'll be enjoying drinking my unfiltered pancakemix wine/whatever it qualifies as (haven't taken an alcohol reading)
See ya!
edit: I'll add, I haven't used any fining agents. Time's been the only thing that's cleared up my brew. I never thought it would be as crystal clear as it is, but surprise or not I'm glad about it.
