    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    This is not beer? Really? Indeed, they call it rice wine, but by definition a wine is made from fruit juice, here we have a cereal and beer is made from cereals. The first stage is gelatinization, then saccharification, followed by a fermentation, and that's the process I described. The only...

    What I can read on that picture is Hefe which means yeast in German, they do not say what strain of yeast... It must have Rhizopus and Monascus purpureus... As an alternative method, you can also follow a normal brewing process by adding amylase at around 70°C rest for 20-30 minutes then let...

    I DID IT... I made an ORVAL clone AWESOME!

    Good morning, I've been thinking about brewing my first beer for a while, unfortunately, even though craft beer is growing exponentially here in Thailand, we can't find all the ingredients. My project, a kind of Orval. I plan to use the BIAB method while making a few deviations from it...

    Mango Wine

    In fact, it tastes like a white wine, no mango taste at all, likely due to the strain of yeast EC-1118, Champagne yeasts (Saccharomyces Banyanus).

    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    @sonofgrok "1) A good, glutenous rice. My wife is Thai/Filipino, so we always have Thai Jasmine rice laying around which is what I will be using here." Thai Jasmine rice is a not-glutinous rice! To avoid any useless argument, just be aware that I live in Loei, Thailand and we grow glutinous rice...

    Mango Wine

    We have lots of mangoes here and the price was not that high, so I asked my wife to keep some mangoes for me, we have about twelve different varieties, I managed to keep a certain balance between sweetness and acidity. My first batch was a trial... Water 10 litres Mangoes:7.5 kg Sugar:2.5 kg...

    Fermentation Chamber w/ Refrigeration

    I discover the topic very late. A compressor is similar to the engine of a bike with oil in the carter, hence the need to keep it in upright position!

    Methanol In Applejack

    Apples contain a lot of pectins, the degradation of which produces methanol, pectinase could slightly decrease or even increase the amount of methanol, depending on the enzyme preparation and the variety of fruit (1) , so why bother using enzymes here... If you use a pot still start very slowly...

    My BIAB style brew stand

    Finally my project is about to be completed, I am still missing some parts though, in particular some silicone hose that I had poorly sized ... As material, I used the iron that I had left from the construction of the house, here because of the millions of termites that are in the ground, the...

    I can not find any information on making Whiskey. I need to freeze distil it. As I have limited funds.

    What the Thai workers like to drink is their Lao Kao (white alcohol) 110 baht for one 0.625 L. bottle 40° ABV which is the maximum available in Thailand. It's made from molasses, so it's a rum, like Saeng Som, but much cheaper. If you want to mix alcohol with soda to have a whisky soda like...

    What do you do with the spent grain (from your mash)??

    In France (Normandy) a brewery makes cookies both salted or sweet and sells them, but does not tell the recipe... https://www.biscuitslesrescapes.com/rescapes-citron/ they call them rescapés (de la cuve), survivors (from the brewing kettle)... This guy, an Italian who lives in Thailand, who...

    Making Traditional rice Wine. Cheap, Fun, and Different

    I took these pictures about 20 years ago in Chiang Rai, the guy's wife was cooking the sticky rice to prepare the 'wine' as wash for his rice alcohol. As you can see, no airlock or whatsoever... Look at the 'still', very basic! I bought him one bottle, his booze was terrible... About yeast, it's...

    Cam locks - do I need hose clamps?

    I guess you got hose clamps on your previous barbs, re-use them ... Stay on the safe side considering the low investment if you have to buy some. My camlocks barbs are Ø 14mm (E type, and C type -1/2") and the hose is also Ø 14mm, so I'll have SS hose clamps on them...

    Mango Wine tastes sour after primary fermentation

    Sorbate will prevent any further fermentation, add only 35 mg/L metabisulfite and 270 mg/L of sorbate, add your juice, let it settle for a couple of days for further clarification (cold place if possible) and after that you can bottle your wine. Dissolve the potassium sorbate in 4 to 5 times its...
