Hell yeah! Sounds fantastic and like it’ll be a great beer to have on tap

That’s looking like a fantastic brew! Also complete side note your grain mill is absolutely adorable, the colors remind me of a watermelon lol

That sounds absolutely delicious! Never hurts to switch things up lol

Oooh whatcha making? And ahh yep, any time my friends ask about getting into home brewing I warn them they won’t have a brewing hobby, they’ll have a cleaning hobby that happens to give you beer as a bonus

Oh for sure, but where’s the fun in brewing if you’re not suffering at least a little bit lol

One way to find out, right? Thanks for the info though! Think I’ll play it by ear or maybe do the wood chips like someone else mentioned, at least until I get enough space for a nice wood barrel room lol

I’ll have to give it a shot, though, admittedly I love the idea of a barrel, just makes it seem fancy lol

I haven’t done wood aging yet, but it’s been something on the back of my mind for a while now. I’d love to get a 5 gallon wood barrel to properly age beer for a year or so, since I love barrel aged stouts. I also saw a few research papers on using ultrasonic cleaners to rapidly “age” spirits and it’s something I’m trying to justify giving a shot, albeit I don’t have a lot of space for a new gadget so that’s been the limiting factor of me not trying it yet lol

I am aware of the toxicity of hops when it comes to dogs (hours pitting up a fence around my hop plant will confirm lol), but I also appreciate the heads up and it’s always good to have the info out there for those stumbling across it! That being said, I only use the grains from the mashing process, well before hops have come into contact with the wort. Thanks for putting the info out for others who may not know and keeping all the boopable snoots safe though :)

My girlfriend loves it! Just note that when I do beers I rent to do high abv beers, I think this batch the potential alcohol is around 12% abv, at least according to beer smith. So you might need to tweak the amount of base grains or added brown sugar to suit your tastes. If you end up making it lemme know what you think of it!

My friend if I can make liquor out of flamin hot Cheetos, a bit of burned mash is nothing to worry about! If you ask me what makes a good home brewer it’s the desire to make something and the ability to do a very large amount of cleaning lol. Besides, you never know, maybe the charred mash might result in some tasty dark Carmelized notes in the beer :) as they say: relax, don’t worry, have a home brew.

Apologies if you don’t use freedom units, feeling a bit lazy after unwrapping a ton of jolly ranchers lol

Appreciate it! And hey maybe the blue razz gnomes are holding onto the supply of delicious artificial flavored sugar and we’re on a quest to slay them and allow all the folk to drink it and be merry. (There’s a reason I’m not the dungeon master in my DND group, I’m not the most creative)

Dog tax.

Hell yeah! Efficiency smiffishency, all that matters is that it’s drinkable! Good work my friend

Oh man you’ll need to do a follow up, this sounds like it’ll be delicious

I’d believe it! Yeah the bottle stood out to me and I wanted it as a decanter. Shame the whiskey itself was pretty crappy imo though

I’m not sure if I’ll age it on anything, last time I distilled a whiskey I just toasted some oak chips. Whenever I get around to distilling whatever this is (I just called it a whiskey since there’s corn in it lol) I’ll probably play it by taste. I’m not entirely sure what all is going to come through flavor wise from distillation.

You know it! He’s to thank for this abomination. His meme spirits stuff really inspired me lol

Can confirm. It is a beverage.
