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...

don't worry. got a week or so to go I think maybe

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.

I meant more like a high % alcohol type of a burn. I polished off a full 12 ounce bottle of this drinking shots mixed with a little cherry grenadine. feeling pretty good right now:drunk:

That's how I did it too.

I cooked 16 cups of rice on my first batch. I only got 48 ounces of liquid. I think I didn't get the rice fully cooked. It looks like only about the outer half of each rice grain was consumed. The rest of the grain is rock hard. I started another batch of 5 cups at 1:1.5 and a batch of 5 cups...

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...

I now have zero airlock activity

I am at the 11 day mark. Airlock activity is down to a gurgle every 10 minutes. Should I go ahead and leave this for the 21 days or should I harvest? Does this taste better with the dissolved solids in it or is it better to let all solids settle out to get a clear liquid?

:off:

ended up adding another 8 cups to the bucket. cooked at a rice to water ratio of about 1:1 1/8. added about 1 ounce of yeast for every 4.5 cups of dry rice. no pics unless you just want a pic of the outside of the bucket

I have 12 cups in bucket for drinking, 4 cups in jar for eating.
