Haha! True! More power to ya. Be sure to post when you find a good one!
Comment on So…. What’s the worst idea you went through with?
poleslav@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI paid for the still, I’m gonna get my moneys worth out of it 😂 and by that I’m just curious what flavors come through the process. While these are mostly horrid ideas, you never know when you’ll be surprised and can make something interesting from it. Hell sour beers were considered bad at one point in history and now people (including myself) make them intentionally!

For sure! I’m not the most experienced distiller, but I’ve made enough beers to assume this is going to turn out tasting exactly like a white whiskey/cream ale after it’s done fermenting. It smells potently of corn and not much else. I might end up macerating a handful of dehydrated Carolina reapers that I was holding onto for a firey chocolate stout into the still. Who knows, the world is my oyster.

Are oysters on your list?
poleslav@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They weren’t but they are now lmfao

Probably look to anything with oily aromatics. That would probably transfer the most amount of flavor.
poleslav@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, that’s basically the thought behind the spinach and random herb idea I have, probably will be awful for drinking but thankfully I also cook daily so at worst I can use it to infuse some flavor into a dish lol

Hah I’m really curious on the rosemary, also, Basil buds/flowers if you have access to them. Very aromatic.
poleslav@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I grow my own basil, so definitely have access to those :)
