Don’t give me any ideas (you’re lucky I don’t like the smell of windex lol)

Oh I’m aware, I’ve been brewing beer for 8 years or so, the pasteurization is just something I wanna try for fun lol
- Comment on About that time 2 days ago:
It depends! If your yeast is at its max alcohol tolerance you should be able to just use sugar without anything. If it’s not, just like a beer it will referment. As someone that hasn’t done many wines (unless I turn them into brandy Ala half my posts on this community), you can use different stabilizing chemicals before back sweetening (they’ll also work on beer too). Personally I’ve wanted to try very low temp pasteurization on beers or wines I make for my significant other to try back sweetening, any method should work! (Though personally I tend to kill off my yeast with high abvs since I primarily distill these days)

Good question! Those are actually raisins. I’ve done some more reading and see they don’t add a lot of nutrients so I was going to leave them out, but I did have a fair bit left over so figured I’d toss them in

Got it, that makes sense here’s to hoping it turns out well! And ooh, that sounds like a fantastic time, enjoy your trip through Europe :)

Oooh that sounds like it’ll be a blast! A jam moonshine sounds like it would be interesting, and the pickled one sounds just weird enough that I’ll have to add it to my list. Did you get anything in particular that you’re most excited to try?

It turned out not too bad off the still! Early hearts and heads had a nice blue razz flavor, tail ends tasted just like a sugar wash. I’m curious to see how the flavors change once I cover it in cloth and let it air out for 24 hours then blend and proof it down but so far, much better than some of my past endeavors lol

After KSP2 I promised myself I would never do Early Access or preorder again. However, I made an exception for this. Love the stalker series and I’ve both preordered it and took the entire week off of work. You can say I’m definitely hyped lol

This might be the single most hilarious “you’d be fucked” statement I ever heard and I’m definitely stealing it for future use lmao

Saw the news on their YouTube. Looked it up thinking it was satire and sure as shit it’s not. Probably the fastest I’ve ever purchased merch ever. Gonna love wearing my onion shirt, always loved them but this was the point I needed to send them some money because this is hilarious.

Hell yeah! Sounds fantastic and like it’ll be a great beer to have on tap

That’s looking like a fantastic brew! Also complete side note your grain mill is absolutely adorable, the colors remind me of a watermelon lol
- Comment on The glamorous world of home brewing 4 weeks ago:
That sounds absolutely delicious! Never hurts to switch things up lol

Oooh whatcha making? And ahh yep, any time my friends ask about getting into home brewing I warn them they won’t have a brewing hobby, they’ll have a cleaning hobby that happens to give you beer as a bonus
- Comment on Raise the jolly rancher 5 weeks ago:
Oh for sure, but where’s the fun in brewing if you’re not suffering at least a little bit lol
- Comment on Blue razz rancher plus a sweet potato brew 5 weeks ago:
One way to find out, right? Thanks for the info though! Think I’ll play it by ear or maybe do the wood chips like someone else mentioned, at least until I get enough space for a nice wood barrel room lol
- Comment on Blue razz rancher plus a sweet potato brew 5 weeks ago:
I’ll have to give it a shot, though, admittedly I love the idea of a barrel, just makes it seem fancy lol
- Comment on Blue razz rancher plus a sweet potato brew 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t done wood aging yet, but it’s been something on the back of my mind for a while now. I’d love to get a 5 gallon wood barrel to properly age beer for a year or so, since I love barrel aged stouts. I also saw a few research papers on using ultrasonic cleaners to rapidly “age” spirits and it’s something I’m trying to justify giving a shot, albeit I don’t have a lot of space for a new gadget so that’s been the limiting factor of me not trying it yet lol

I am aware of the toxicity of hops when it comes to dogs (hours pitting up a fence around my hop plant will confirm lol), but I also appreciate the heads up and it’s always good to have the info out there for those stumbling across it! That being said, I only use the grains from the mashing process, well before hops have come into contact with the wort. Thanks for putting the info out for others who may not know and keeping all the boopable snoots safe though :)
- Comment on Raise the jolly rancher 5 weeks ago:
My girlfriend loves it! Just note that when I do beers I rent to do high abv beers, I think this batch the potential alcohol is around 12% abv, at least according to beer smith. So you might need to tweak the amount of base grains or added brown sugar to suit your tastes. If you end up making it lemme know what you think of it!
- Comment on Raise the jolly rancher 5 weeks ago:
My friend if I can make liquor out of flamin hot Cheetos, a bit of burned mash is nothing to worry about! If you ask me what makes a good home brewer is the desire to make something and the ability to do a very large amount of cleaning lol. Besides, you never know, maybe the charred mash might result in some tasty dark Carmelized notes in the beer :) as they say: relax, don’t worry, have a home brew.

Appreciate it! And hey maybe the blue razz gnomes are holding onto the supply of delicious artificial flavored sugar and we’re on a quest to slay them and allow all the folk to drink it and be merry. (There’s a reason I’m not the dungeon master in my DND group, I’m not the most creative)

I do like the idea of Mountain Dew! It’s only go perfectly with the Cheeto liquor lol. Though; i do love the idea of warheads, chalky or not, I like sour stuff lol
