Damn son! You did some work last night. That list reads like a who's who of badass beer

Thanks guys. I think my tongue hurts more than my liver. I can at least feel my liver today.

That sounds like enough to put the hurt on, care to share the eggnog recipe, 3 year old eggs sound intriguing

It is an ancient family recipe, very secret.





It also happens to be the exact same as this one: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10758-best-eggnog

The secret is in the liquor, I have made it with several combinations but the best so far:

Jim Beam or Evan Williams for bourbon. (I have used Makers Mark, MM46, Bookers and Woodford Double Barrel in the past. Those are better for sipping while you make it but many people commented it was too bourbon-y for them.)

Hennessey Cognac (spendy but this is were it counts is key to the recipe, VSOP or better. This year we used Black, last year it was VSOP.)

Myers Black Rum OR a spiced rum is ok as well. My friends request The Krakken when I make their batches.

I don't generally have a large party during the holidays so I don't whip the cream and egg whites for serving. Pour some in a glass with a little fresh grated nutmeg and be merry.

I might whip up an egg white this year to try it, it looks delicious in their photo.

Tips:
It has to be kept refrigerated, mine lives in a gallon jug while bulk aging (1-3 weeks to thicken). Then it can be bottled in beer bottles or whatever. One friend's wife puts it in half pint Mason jars and attaches a bow and tag for gifts.

This makes about 3/4 of a gallon of base. Adding the egg whites and extra cream will get you in the 1 gallon area IF you choose to serve it that way (see note below).

Put at least one small container of it away for sampling during the making of the nog the following year.

Use the heaviest cream you can find.

Pasteurized eggs do not work as well as normal eggs, I do not recommend them.

Know the risks in consuming raw egg products before enjoying.

A microplane and whole nutmeg are the best for serving.

The reserved whites and 1.5 cups of cream are to be whipped IF you plan on serving it all at once, such as a holiday party. Otherwise the cream and egg whites will eventually deflate.

Taste it when it is fresh and make adjustments as you see fit. Some people like more sugar or a vanilla bean in theirs. Feel free to make it your own.

 

[Hello]

This is good.

So are you bottling with the egg whites and cream?

It's just hungover from picking up all the slack on sloppy Saturday when @chefrx was the only one participating.

Let's go Niners.

Rye'd the Pine amber ale. Brewing a mocha porter today.

Nope. Just drinking the base.

Oh I was participating, just not posting.

Multi tasking. A little legal research, NFL football and about to give Zombie Killer a try.

So no whites or cream at all?

Citra IPA,

 

[nukebrewer]

First beer since two days before surgery, so almost a week. Wish I'd have picked a better one. Says it's a gose, but the lacto is barely perceptible and there is no saltiness to speak of. Had high hopes since it was a beer club beer. It's not a drain pour, though, so there's that.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Water. Think I'm getting screwed into working tonight.

Citra IPA,

Only when you serve it. You would still use the cup of cream in the base. Just not the 1.5 cups and 12 egg whites for serving.

Unless you wanted to drink it all in one night, since the whipped cream and white eggs would eventually deflate.
