I got about ~4 liters out of my 18L 9% ABV Trix experiment. 700g of smashed and boiled Trix cereal with 3kg of sugar. Fermented for 1 week, allowed to clear a bit before boiling 1st jar (1.5L) smells very fruity -- perhaps berries and citrus ... but also very strong in alcohol 2nd jar (1.5L) is a bit more ambiguous. 3rd jar (~1L) is much more corny, but also weaker in alcohol. I will likely incorporate this with my ~10L of "stripped" tomato paste wash to make some kind of gin. The corn and berry notes should add a nice complexity to the juniper, coriander, et al. |

The early part of the run has smelled very berry-like. Not what I was expecting, though I never eat Trix cereal so I'm a poor judge. As we approach the end of the run, the corn notes are starting to come through. It's interesting how different smells and tastes come out at different parts. |
