Where am I? I lost my place again Even with my friends And I can't see why Where am I? There's no proper way to come out and say I can't tell the ground from the sky Where am I? I can remember a time when I could see Where I fit in But today can't even stay with the circle of friends I've been in Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? Can't find my way back And I've lost track The way that I can try Where am I? Don't have the eyes to see Which is really mean So I can't see the lie Where am I? Who can remember a time when I could see Where I fit in But today can't even stay with the circle of friends I've been in Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? |

I boiled kidney beans in sugar for almost 3 hours. Presoaked them for 24 to rehydrate. Tastes almost like azuki beans. |

>>40 Started another cider today, mixed with blueberry juice (2:1 ratio). With added sugar, should ferment to 8% Also mixed some banana-flavored syrup with water until it should reach about 6.5% fermented. It smells terrific -- exactly like those marshmallow peanuts -- but I'm worried the yeast will struggle due to lack of nutrients. I added some blueberry juice with the thought it could provide some nutrition. This week I've distilled ~36L of 12% hooch to ~8L of 40% hooch -- the bran stuff. Sampled a bit of the bran liquor low wines. Very strong smell but subtle flavor. I'll do a spirit run tonight with the still filled up with 30% ABV low wines; I intend to make some gin. I feel a bit bittersweet about this week's distills. Probably by next week, my new, much more efficient still will be complete. I learned a lot from this little guy. Now he will sit in a box somewhere collecting dust because there is no market for tools like this. |

I do about 100g of ginger, 100g of sugar per liter. Kind of sugar doesn't matter. ==> 5.8% ABV fermented dry. Easiest way to let gas out: poke a needle through the end of a balloon so co2 gas can get in, but oxygen / bugs / etc don't get in. You can also very loosely place the lid on top of the bottle but if it's on too tight, the co2 buildup will make the bottle explode. |

| 1. Ginger Beer Concept |

Continuing from a discussion on giko: My plan is to test drive a simple fermented ginger beverage with the following ingredients/materials: 1. Grated ginger 2. Brewer's yeast 3. Water 4. 1-2 chili peppers, to taste 5. Sugar (which type?) 6. 2L plastic bottle So far I have heard that it is important to slowly release the gas in the bottle, and carefully monitor the pressure. What I imagine is an earthy, simple drink. Something to be enjoyed after a day's work, or savored with some deep-fried foods. Any suggestions? |

>>43 This bran recipe fermented really well. 5 days later and it's below 0 standard gravity -- still pretty cloudy and lots of carbon dioxide going on, but it smells fine. So, according to ... science it looks like yeast like bran more than honey corn cereal (see >>47) while the bran doesn't smell bad, it doesn't smell good either -- even if the cereal takes 2 or 3 days longer to ferment out (which is nothing in the big scheme of things) I have a feeling it's going to have the superior end result After my reflux still comes, I plan to run a tomato paste wash and bran wash and do some blind tastings for the vodka they produce. I suspect they will be identical but we will have to wait and see. |

>>42 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. |

Zzazz, now we know we were wrong We messed up, and now you're gone Zzazz, we're sorry we neglected you Oh, we never expected you to run away and leave us feeling this empty Your streams right now would sound like music to us Please come home, 'cause we miss you, Zzazzachu (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home! Zzazz, can't you see we were blind? We'll do anything to change your mind More than a pal, you're our best friend Too cool to forget, come back, 'cause we are family And forgive us for making you wanna roam And now our hearts are beating like the saddest metronome Somewhere, we hope you're reading our latest, three-word poem: Zzazz, come home (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home (Zzazz, come home!) Zzazz, come home (Ahhhh...) Zzazz, come home Zzazz, come home Zzazzachu, won't you come home? |

>>45 Started 4 more ferments: - 1500ml apple cider with sugar added (estimated ABV 8%) - 1500ml honey/water (estimated ABV 8%) 3 hours in, balloons are beginning to inflate . I didn't add any yeast nutrient but I think it should be fine. |

Started 3 ferments today: - 1500ml apple cider - 250g honey, fill bottle with water - 210g honey, 500ml cider, fill bottle with water I didn't add any kind of yeast nutrients so I wonder if the honey-alone drink will be able to ferment. All the drinks will end up in the 6-8% range so I feel they should be able to ferment fine without extra help... |

>>40 It's been ~4 days but the tomato/bran wash (4kg) is essentially done fermenting, with a SG of 0, so it's roughly 18L of 13% ABV. That is pretty magnificent from < $5 EUR worth of sugar! I'm going to give it another few days to finish fermenting and clearing before I run it, but that bran is no joke. |
| 1. Proprosal: EUR currency of gikopoi |

There are so many currencies we could call baseline, most notably: - yen -- but only appeals to Japanese - usd -- but Trump is crazy and Americans are minority - eur -- basically a dollar* I think "EUR" should be our baseline on Gikopoi because people with odd currencies can understand EUR pretty well, and it also sends a message to Americans that they are not the boss. Actually I would rather use EUR than USD even if I lost money. |
