I broke my capper yesterday. I am not real heavy on home brewing. I am wondering if there is a better way to bottle. It has become impossible around here to find non screw off bottles. I even tried talking to the local bottle redemption place and told him I would pay 10 cents for every non screw...
I peeled them then continued to use the potato peeler to make really thin slices. I boiled them just a little bit to soften them up. I didn't boil them to the point of making them soft enough to make mashed potatoes.
Day 24 spaghetti and potato finished
Since it is 8:00 am I will not be swallowing.
First the spaghetti:
Color: Cloudy urine.
Smell: Not bad but not great. Very alcoholic. A faint grainy smell. Many floral beer like smells much like a trappist ale or maybe a lambic. Almost smells like a...
not a mix. 1 jar is noodles, 1 jar is potato. They are both liquefying. The liquid in the noodle jar looks funny. Looks almost like oil. I took the lids off and smelled them. They both smell very alcoholic. The potato one definitely smells better than the noodle.

trying to describe the taste to the wife. What I came up with was a mixture of champagne, with a slight taste of rice, coffee creamer, and Everclear. but in a good way, sort of. Almost might be better to drink this as shots. Or maybe mixed with juice like many of you have mentioned
I took a medicine dropper and sucked about .5 ounce out of the bucket. OH MY! That stuff is weird! Kind of good but kind of not good. I don't know if I like it.
Kind of reminds me of champagne. Quite a burn going down. Kind of good though. I might bottle tomorrow. Swear I want to try some...
I could do it and keep out contamination but what about oxidation
That's supposed to be a question but my question mark button doesn't work
I'm going to quit calling this rice wine and start calling it rice liquor. When I tell somebody this is rice wine they immediately say, "Oh Yeah. I...
