A month out and here's where we stand on the order: 1. Airlocks came first 2. Buckets came second 3. Dry malt extract is still in transit (???) 4. The hops seller cancelled the order. Tried ordering a few different kinds of hops from a few different sellers; they all seemed to cancel. I will have to try sourcing hops again later. Until then, I can try making a whisky once this DME shows up. |

A few kilograms of dry malt extract, various hops, food grade 20L / 5 gallon buckets, and airlocks with grommets are coming in the mail. My beer and whisky making arc will begin soon. I'm thinking of initially trying to make whisky via UJSSM tech but also considering making one from dry malt extract sans hops -- I hear hops are neither necessary nor desirable when producing whisky ... Big concern for beer production: I don't have any feasible way to carbonate beverages, whether in glass bottles or keg. So I guess it'll be "not even beer!" depending on one's definition. I'd love to buy a keg and CO2 tanks, maybe even a devoted fridge down the line, but wife is already annoyed as-is by the malt/hops/buckets/airlocks purchase. We'll just have to wait and see. |
