Hee hee, me too obviously :) Good ol Biercraft, only 5 minutes away... now I know what to put on my Christmas list, if they still have any that is. Thanks a bunch for the tip, 30 bucks for a bottle of beer is quite steep, but quite a bit cheaper than having to fly around the world to get one...

Wow that's some expensive beer! I live in Vancouver same as gear so I'm hoping to get lucky and get to try.... If he checks back and share his source of course...pretty please... With sugar on top, or I guess in this forum I should say with foam on top :)

Hate to derail this thread, but may I enquire where abouts in Vancouver you found these? Never seen it, and really want to try! Now back to our regular scheduled programing :mug: Thanks onegear

Excellent, because that's what I just did. Batch number two done and in the jar, hope I have more luck this time as I followed all instructions to a tee. Ended up making it with 4 1/4 cups of rice (that's how much was in the bag) with 5 cups of water, so just under 1 - 1.25 ratio. Wish me luck!

Lol will do ;). Hey are you suppose to cover the rice when it's cooling, or let it breath so to say. Last time I wrapped the whole lot in plastic wrap, not sure if that was right or not, figured it would help to keep out nasties.

That was me, I had it in a dimly lit room, nothing like direct sunlit or anything though. Thanks for the above walk though saramc and others, going to attempt batch number two today, will rinse, soak, rinse, boil at a little more than 1/1, put in a dark closet and not. Touch, look at, or think...

I've been reading this thread too much and have confused my self. So my first batch now being properly flushed down the toilet I'm ready to attempt number two. I don't have a rice cooker, can someone please share a success story on what they did? For example I'm going to use four cups of dry...

Thanks for the info, What I meant by 5 weeks was waiting this one out for another two, plus starting a new one which would take another 3, = 5 weeks till drinking tasty rice wine. Rereading what I wrote I didn't do a very good job of explaining that, blasted tasty tripple lol. I guess...

That's what I thought,not good. All I have to loose is waiting five weeks for a decent batch assuming this one will turn out bad instead of trashing it, or trashing it, doing it right and having something tasty to drink in three weeks. So yea, I don't know, if the acetone smell has happened...

Yea it's a definite nail polish remover smell, there was a discussion about it somewhere in this thread, but I'm at work and unable to search too much into what was decided. But if you were to blind fold someone and ask what it smelled like, nail polish would be the answer.

Hi all, Looking for some advise, I'm one week into my first attempt, for the first 6 days when I took a whif it smelled quite good really, then yesterday when I sniffed it had a nailpolish remover smell... not at all pleasant. I haven't read this whole thread (that's a daunting task!) but...

I star sanned everything that touched the rice ie jar, spoon, baking tray I used for cooling it ect, but that's because I assumed I should, not sure what the others have done.

I call that going big or going home ;). I guess that means you are at day 27? So you will get to sample pretty soon then, I hope it works out well for you. With that amount wow, going to have some fun times I'm sure... You and the neighborhood lol.

Hi unferth Yes I found some just today actually. Funny after going into 4 different places and having the answers ranging from never heard of that, or looking at me like I was crazy, the one that I went to today the lady pointed to a jar right in front of me at the cash register said "right...

Hey guys, Thanks for your replies, I didn't expect such great offers and help so fast. I can't remember who said it but I think your right I am asking for something which isn't translated into english very often… maybe I just have to ask for rice wine ingredients. I live in Vancouver BC...

I'm so frustrated right now, I found a nice glass jar, rice, cheese cloth but no yeast balls. Why is this frustrating? Because I live in one of the most densely asian populated cites in North America! I went to 3 different asian groceries and two big supermarkets and everyone I asked looked at...

I brewed this 8 days ago and it is still slowly bubbling in my blow off tube… quite impressive seeing as how all my previous ones have stopped bubbling after 4-5 days in an airlock lol. I can't wait to try this one, the first big, hoppy beer I have tried as a relative new comer to home...

Oh, I see. I haven't used a yeast calculator yet so I'll have to play around with that and see what I come up with. Or maybe I'll just pitch the whole lot and see what happens! Thanks for the reply, off to play with yet another thing I had no idea I had to know lol.

Hi folks, My apologies for asking if it's already been asked 100 times, I read the first 7 pages and didn't find the answer. Pretty simple question, I did this yesterday and ended up with about 1/2 - 3/4 inch of nice yeast on the bottom of 3 jars. My question is do I now have yeast for 3...

Lots of good info here guys, After considering all the advise I think I will drain everything into the kettle and heat it up, then boil it after I get back. A little bit of extra goop never hurt anyone and that seems the safest bet. I'll report back if anything interesting happens.
