Breakfast whiskey experiment - liquid malt and milo

by **law-of-ohms** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 10:06 am

50L batch
1 x 1kg can of liquid malt from woolies ~$10
1x 440g can of 'Malt' Milo.
1x box of woolies wheat bix
1x pack of wheat germ.
1kg of malted barley
6kg sugar

Wheat germ went into rice cooker with 1 cup of the malted barley, after boiling for awhile and cooling to ~65 the remaining barley was added.

2hrs later SG / brix reading done, tad under 1.09!

Wheat bix not cooked just crushed up and added

Smells great! couldn't stop eating it while I was making it.

Filled 50L demi with walm water from the shower using the 'massage' setting on the shower head to add heaps of oxygen

I'll let the pics do most the rest,

The morning after, vid to come...

@LoO

Interesting recipe mate.

What size rice cooker you have? And where did you get the refractometer? Looks like my next must have gadget!

by **law-of-ohms** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 10:17 pm

Refractometer on eBay

Milo, it said it had malt in it so it had to go in.

no idea how this will taste, hope for 'full bodied' thou

Very tasty, lots of sweet toffee aroma.
