It smells terrific -- exactly like those<br>marshmallow peanuts -- but I'm worried the yeast will struggle due to<br>lack of nutrients. I added some blueberry juice with the thought it<br>could provide some nutrition.<br><br>This week I've distilled ~36L of 12% hooch to ~8L of 40% hooch --<br>the bran stuff. Sampled a bit of the bran liquor low wines. Very strong<br>smell but subtle flavor. I'll do a spirit run tonight with the still<br>filled up with 30% ABV low wines; I intend to make some gin. <br><br>I feel a bit bittersweet about this week's distills. Probably by next<br>week, my new, much more efficient still will be complete. I learned a<br>lot from this little guy. Now he will sit in a box somewhere<br>collecting dust because there is no market for tools like this.

Grated ginger<br>2. Brewer's yeast<br>3. Water<br>4. 1-2 chili peppers, to taste<br>5. Sugar (which type?)<br>6. 2L plastic bottle<br><br>So far I have heard that it is important <br>to slowly release the gas in the bottle, <br>and carefully monitor the pressure. <br>What I imagine is an earthy, simple <br>drink. Something to be enjoyed after <br>a day's work, or savored with <br>some deep-fried foods. <br>Any suggestions?

I <br>suspect they will be identical but we will have to wait and see.

So maybe it's at 12% but can reach<br>the full 13% with a bit more time. A pretty fast ferment. <br><br>Smells corny and sour, cloudy yellow color. The cereal on top still<br>looks and smells pretty good. This was a fun brew and I'm looking<br>forward to see how it distills -- I'll give it a bit more time to <br>finish fermenting and clear up.

That is<br>pretty magnificent from < $5 EUR worth of sugar! I'm going to give it <br>another few days to finish fermenting and clearing before I run it, <br>but that bran is no joke.
