HIDEOUS brewing confessions..........

[cheezydemon3]

Not saying that there isn't, just that I don't taste it, and it didn't hit me like 7%.....but it could have been deceptive.

 

[WayFrae]

Yeah but I would think 5 pints at 7% would provide more than a mild buzz.

12 cups table sugar and 1 gallon of applejuice in 4 gallons of water.

Boil the sugar in 1 gallon of water (add gradually so as not to scorch any)

Add to 3 gallons water and 1 gallon pure applejuice.

I used lager yeast fermented 68F or so.



The first batch was so effing fast and easy, I did 2 more batches before they could wrestle me to the ground and pry the 25lb bag of sugar from my fingers..........gawd help me.......

Just whipped up 5 gallons of this but used 2 gallons of juice and 15 cups sugar. OG was 1.080

Don't forget to add a bottle of Everclear in the secondary.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

This is probably dangerous enough lol

 

[giraffe]

I fermented 3 gallons of 1.070 tang before. It was, sadly, surprisingly drinkable.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I hate to say it, but for a chick beverage, or the occasional cheap pint, the plain stuff is almost like decent champagne.....if champagne were a 6% quaffable beverage.

 

[WayFrae]

Oooh I love tang.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Oooh I love tang.

And that was the first thought that crossed my "I'll ferment anything once" mind.

I had a client with schizophrenia who made hooch with sugar, grated potato (for body) and cherry kool aid, and said when he drank it, it would just make him mad. The latex gloves he used as an airlock on his carboy had a hole poked in the middle finger, so it would fill, flip you off, then collapse. He was crazy, using a glass carboy.

 

[PatrickGoss]

I love this thread. I also will ferment anything once.... but if it turns out bad it just gets run through the still.... the still fixes all bad beer, wine, hooch....

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

AMAZINGLY good...........

WOW. Not kidding.

Like fairly dry hard cider. I am gonna keg it.....still not kidding.....

Grav sample at 1.020 now. And about 7.5abv and still climbing.......effing delicious. I can see this with the occasional shot of Fireball added

 

[Zuljin]

Time to make more Kungaloosh. I really thought there was more than Tundra Berries and Savory Snowplum in it.

And I still need to make Skyrim drinks.

 

[paperairplane]

...

And I still need to make Skyrim drinks.

First make a potion of fortify alchemy, then drink that - then make a better fortify alchemy potion, drink that - THEN make your hooch.

 

[Zuljin]

Hell yeah! I'm brewing potions!

 

[cheezydemon3]

The alcohol is THERE.

Holy dog sex.........

I had maybe 8 pints and I was over the freaking rainbow. Deceptively good!

No hangover, but I may have killed a significant number of brain cells.....

Mines ready today ( gonna pull a growler and clear the rest) so I will be finding out later

 

[cheezydemon3]

I am shocked.

Not only is this stuff quaffably good, it was SO CHEAP and EASY.

I will probably keep it on tap.......for EVER...........(I have 6 kegs, why not????)

 

[cheezydemon3]

3rd batch with bread yeast is done.

It seemed to ferment, and then start again.

It is dry as hell. Very little apple, flavor is amore akin to vodka...........definitely may KOOL AID this bitch.

 

[passedpawn]

After a bizarre child support mis-hap and a few bad months at work.......

I HAVE 15 GALLONS OF PRISON HOOCH FERMENTING.........


Gawd help me.......

This thread is closed. We don't want to support the creation of hooch. See rule #16, here.
