6 days later and the SG is at 1.010. So maybe it's at 12% but can reach the full 13% with a bit more time. A pretty fast ferment. Smells corny and sour, cloudy yellow color. The cereal on top still looks and smells pretty good. This was a fun brew and I'm looking forward to see how it distills -- I'll give it a bit more time to finish fermenting and clear up. |

Tonight's ferment of 20L: * 4kg sugar * 700g "honey stars" breakfast cereal, crushed up * 30g baker's yeast * pinch DAP, epsom salts Breakfast cereals have tons of yeast nutrients and this one tastes like whole grain and honey. So this is more whisky-esque than the Trix cereal experiment -- I've tried it before and it turns out well |

I started a 20L ferment tonight of a new recipe In the boiler: * 100g of homemade tomato paste * 100g of old bran * 8g of old yeast * 30ml end of old bottle of wine (mostly sludge) * 4kg sugar After cooling: * 50g baker's yeast * pinch DAP * pinch epsom salts just finished cooking this up. Never tried using bran as a nutrient before so I'm curious how it turns out. It should finish around 12% ABV or so, fingers crossed! I wonder how bran flavor will compare with tomato flavor... |
