Hey guys, just a random curiosity I had. Why does malt liquor taste so bad? Is it too much adjunct or a rushed fermentation schedule for profit?
I've had a few of the Schlitz in the past several months, and aren't they claiming to have gone back to a recipe from the 60's or something to that extent? Nevertheless, I think it's not too bad of a beer, but this is coming from a guy who prefers Miller High Life for his "go to" beer.
Mickeys wide mouths

The_Brewzer said:I haven't reused the 40's, but I bottled a malt liquor in the 32 oz Tecate bottles (Carta Blanca also uses them if you can find it). Not quite the same, but it worked great - especially with my homemade "labels".
Oh, this is gonna be hard to admit.

I actually like Steel Reserve. None of the others.

It was my favorite in college.
Yeah they still make them I still get a six pack of the hand grenades every now and again.
I have made a malt liquor using cornstarch packing peanuts as the corn adjunct...

In order to salvage a little dignity, I'm having a Lavery, Liopard Oir (Farmhouse Brett Saison), some 5 year cave aged gouda, and sopressata salami. Then new good time.
Some buddies of mine used to play Edward Forty Hands, they'd duct tape forties to their hands and wouldn't cut them off until you finished them (obviously the taper/cutter didn't play). I did not partake but it was pretty hilarious.
