What's everyone drinking?

[Nardy]

Ok, so blending mission #1:

Blended bottles #2, #3, #4 - equal parts (about 60mL all up, I think). According to my notes:

#2: from a cut that smelt wet cardboardy, plus 100mL of what I think is heads, had heaps of apple pie smell and some strange solvent smell. Added only american oak chips.

#3: from wet cardboard bottle, plus what I think is hearts. This time with a smaller amount of a-oak chips and 1/2 teaspoon of natural vanilla essence.

#4 Same as #1 (wet cardboard, no apple pie, harsh bite, 6 sultanas, tspn vanilla bean paste, small piece of cinnamon), but doubled ingredients.


I know, very accurate and scientific.. :lol:

Anyway, with coke tastes fucken fantastic. But I could just be sozzled, I'm not sure.. Quite harsh, which is how I like it.

In fact, after a few more mouthfuls, this is friggin gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't I get into this years ago??


...switching to fuel tv....

switching to fuel tv....

30 minutes of silicone

Why didn't I get into this years ago??

We all say the same thing :lol:

[Nardy]

I think the foxtel remote is under my misus on the couch...

How do I explain that I am intoxicated by myself while chatting to my new internet buddies? :lol:

[Nardy]

Oh uh..

I now realise why this blended rum is soo good. I didn't dilute it from 65%..

Is there a way I can make my 40% rum this harsh without having to keep it at NASA fuel levels? When I dilute it to 40% it becomes smooth, which isn't what I want.

You say "get off the fucking couch and go to bed, I wanna get pissed and chat shit with me mates while I watch titties"
Then brace for a slap

Yep! pepper corns ;)

[Nardy]

Really? Peppercorns will do that?

Now the question is, do I tamper with my ageing rums after having a few (fair few) or wait til morning?

I love rum. I might call my first kid 'rum'. Or at least 'rumdrew' or 'rumchael'.

Time to stop drinking mate :lol:

[MacStill]

Wait till morning, everything seems different when you got your head stuck in the S bend :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol:

I haven't had that many!

So adding peppercorns really adds that harshness? So instead of using parts of the heads, I could just add peppercorns?

What about caramelised sugar? I've read about that in my interwebz travels. That Harry's great grandad's recipe uses it doesn't it?

[QLD.Andy]

Bottles empty, time for bed.
Catch yas later

[MacStill]

pepper corns will add bite, and a little harshness depending how much you use

[Nardy]

So any tips on starting amounts of peppercorns? I might add some to the next batch and see how it goes. Would be good to be able to add that nastiness without resorting to headache-material.

[R-sole]

Gutfull of beer and then half a bottle of port.

Woke up sitting on the lounge at 11pm alone :oops:

[Nardy]

Seems I survived the heads, no headaches this morning. :D

[Nardy]

Heading out tonight, but thought I a rum or two as a primer first is on the cards.

So batch #1 still, this time from bottle #1 and it's friggin tasty as. Getting better and better.. :clap:
