Mixed some of jar #1 with milk -- wondered how milk w/ cereal liquor
would be. I'm not sure if it was the "heads" or what but the cocktail
was almost completely revolting and not something I would wish upon
my friends or enemies. 2/10

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.
