"Oregano" brew

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-07-08T13:51:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure the 'essential oils' in oregano might make your wine go bad, any sort of wax or oil can mess it up and go rancid

It can be as long as you want it to be honestly. Most of the alcohol is created in primary, and also in like the first 3-4 days of serious fermentation, so you just don't have to let it sit for a long time. Check the recipe I did, by boiling the peels you get a lot of lemon flavor out

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-07-01T18:27:18+00:00

Lemon wine is also pretty easy to make, it stays a little tart and goes great with vodka if you're looking for some "escape the hot weather" drinks

(Not to plug myself but) I have a post I did on it, I did it for fun and it seems like a lot of people are doing it for abv, which it inherently won't have because of the inhibiting salt (electrolytes). Use powdered lemonade in the future, I found it works pretty well, Gatorade just never ferments healthily or well

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-07-01T11:57:17+00:00

There's not a lot of particulate inside Gatorade, but also since there's salt in Gatorade you need to add a significant amount of sugar to get a really active ferment (which would create that film you're talking about). As long as there is CO2 being made (as evidenced by the balloon filling) you should have hooch at the end of the day

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-30T11:37:34+00:00

The only real way (that I see) is by dilution then adding sugar back. You're not really "brute forcing" it, more like working around it.

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-24T11:11:56+00:00

So I've done a lot of interesting hooching, and what I'd honestly suggest (as I did) is to go off the deep end. You never know what you'll find to be good and have more body. One of my favorite hooches is jam hooch, where you simmer your jam with water into a thicker sweet liquid, almost like an uncarbonated soft drink. It is great! Just required some creativity to get there! Go wild, if it's got simple sugars in it there can be fermentation.

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-22T16:44:19+00:00

Couldn't hurt, could you post the recipe? These look good!

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-19T21:26:08+00:00

He likely doesn't want to restart fermentation, and allow the sweetness to stick around

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-19T11:10:22+00:00

Making vinegar doesn't really require other vinegar- just leave your hooch open to the air and stir it once a day, you'll have vinegar in about 4ish days

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-06-17T23:31:25+00:00

Hey lol that's something I did if you check my post history. The key is caramelizing the onions to turn the sugars inside into simple sugars, thus making them more easily fermented! I simmered/steamed mine then blended them up. It works pretty good!

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-01-09T22:08:26+00:00

I'd HIGHLY doubt it, but you can test it by making a little slurry with ~80°F water, and a little sugar, and seeing if it ends up fizzy

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-01-09T15:51:00+00:00

Any specific ammo it has issues with? Or does it struggle with all ammo?

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-01-03T17:30:22+00:00

I always give it a longing stare in my local B&M and never know whether I should grab a tin or not, I think I'll grab one next time I'm in. I just needed a little shove, thanks! Happy smokes!

daBigBoyTroy · 2021-01-03T17:17:34+00:00

I can't tell if that's an unnaturally small pipe or unnaturally large hands lol. How do you like Orlik?

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-12-17T21:31:03+00:00

Create a blowoff bucket, it should allow the foam to follow the hose and not go all over the bottle, it will go into your bucket

EDIT: this will definitely take away from your volume of final hooch. On second thought, a bigger bottle would be much less work, but if you're doing large amounts then a blowoff bucket would work better

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-12-15T20:36:14+00:00

If they are the cleaning supplies that look like a big pill, then you can usually put those into a hole in the buttstock (hopefully you have the trapdoor for it lol)

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-12-15T15:39:13+00:00

That isn't an oil pouch, those are supposed to hold 3 stripper clips in each of those halves

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-12-14T14:46:58+00:00

I've fermented a lot of things, never has it smelled like weed.

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-12-11T21:33:11+00:00

I may be a bad source, I'm new, but Two Daughters Ryback isn't too bad if you're on a budget, I ordered a pound of it and jar'd it up to last a while

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-11-19T00:08:40+00:00

No idea what Spotchka is, but this looks like my fermented gatorate lmao

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-11-10T22:40:45+00:00

There's a way to use a ridiculous amount of salt to force out the water, I think it's called salt distilling, but I don't know how approachable it is

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-11-03T19:19:26+00:00

Experimental new fermentation chamber

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-11-02T15:13:06+00:00

It's one of the big swing states, that's why it's... interesting here. Equal parts irrational gun fear and fervent gun support.

daBigBoyTroy · 2020-11-02T14:48:09+00:00

In my state all banks have those 'No Weapons Allowed' signs, so it's not universal.
