Todays Brew is..

[bluc]

Thought I would start a thread to talk about what people are fermenting, if its all grain grain mashing/partial mash/extract/ sugar heads/fruit or sugar wash's for neutral talk about it here.

my brew today is bwko :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[TasSpirits]

[Plumby]

Didn't do it today but Monday I put down a 50 litre " Mac's Lemon Vodka "

Just finished running 2 x 25lit Pear washes on the pot.(strip run)

What was the output volume like did you add sugar?

[Kenster]

yes i added 5kg to each 65lit wash, but did 2 gens. Finishing off spirit run as we speak...big day in the garage. Four 25lit runs yesterday and today.
Return was disappointing ( but i suspected that) but was chasing some flavour, which i achieved, subtle, but still a nice pear aftertaste. Will get 5 x 750ml bottles @ 85% hearts... was just a trial for next years fruit run really. Wasted so much fruit this year cos i was not confident with the process or the results. I assumed it was imperative to use the skins, well i didnt,cos they were all scabby and it still worked ok...all good experience. I have a shitload of peeled apples in the freezer, cant wait.

Gen 4 BWKO stripping run happening as soon as i get home from work

[Dig Brinker]

Got some OJ for nix yesty, chucked 1 bottle in the fridge for the kids and 33 litres in a clean fermenter. Added a good bag full of lemons with a couple of limes, a couple grapefruit and a dozen small mandarins. All peeled except the mandis. Added some green lemon tree shoots and a few hundred grams of whole rye, 2 vitamin tabs and a tablespoon of DAP. Threw in some brown sungar for a SG of 1080 ish, will add rehydrated ec1113 in the morning.
Thinking about running orange/lemon/lime dried peel in Gin basket when I run it.

[bluc]

Sounds tasty. Cant say i have read a recipe for citrus before.

[Dig Brinker]

[Huntsman96]

2x50L ffv just put down plus just started my dry hopping on a pale ale that just got racked to secondary :happy-partydance:

[TasSpirits]

Oat Whisky :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Kenster]

Dig, i have been chasing Rye... other than in the supermarket, do u source reasonable volumes (5 kg?) from anywhere special... my feedstock guy doesent get it in.

[Fishleg]

Put down a 25l sugar head whiskey wash.

1kg cracked corn
1 tin of coopers liquid wheat and barley malt extract
4kg white sugar
A good sprinkle of lowans ( about half a cup )

See how it goes

Also locked down a 150l rum wash

10l molasses
18kg white sugar
Little sprinkle of Epsom salts
Poured boiling water on yeast bed from last ferment

Bought a fish tank heater today so thought I'd give it a go without tonnes of vitamin b or fertiliser or tomato paste

[bluc]

Fishleg what is your total volume. Half cup yeast sounds like a lot i doubt i put 1/4 cup in 200l mash, and i dont rehydrate (for sugarheads)..
