[dualmeister]

Did you split your batches or all in one?

Totally different methods.

Seeking the best method for future runs.

I did multiple 5l batches in the bottled water containers myself, like said, so far one is ready to go, the rest are still sweet

 

[bwana]

Done. Let's see what happens

A little skimpy on the sugar. Sugar + yeast = good times.

I have another 4 pineapples busy ripening for the next run. Need to get another container first.

Possibly.

5g whole coriander (don't use ground coriander due to off flavours)
5g whole pepper
15g orange peel zest
4 Bay leaves

Will this work? For spirits.
I've seen guys using these units for vodka and gin.

Scratches in cupboard. It would need to breath though

It will work if you can control the temp. Ethanol boils at a lower temp than water.

Exactly what I got, just don't lock it down

Last time I will ask in case it was missed. Anyone have a herb beer recipe similar to that of Kimberly herb beer

A while back I posted a link to a pdf with hundreds of recipes in it. There was a whole chapter on herb beers. Cats_meow.pdf iirc.

Still working on those after my bread, flour, oats, tea concoction mess that's currently fermenting. I'll share this but I guarantee it needs a lot of work and have no idea if it will be drinkable.

--------------------------------------
5l water
200g cane sugar
200g honey
50g Molasses
200g cake flour
50g pan roasted instant oats

5g whole coriander
5g whole pepper
15g orange peel zest
4 Bay leaves
Lemon

Boil 2l water cool and add to fermentation container and set aside.

Mash flour 40min (50C, 3l water, juice of 1 lemon).
Add roasted oats and mash further 30mins (62C).
Strain most of the solids(possibility leave to separate overnight?) to get wort.

Bring wort to rolling boil and add bay leaves.
After 40min add the rest of the sugars, pepper, coriander
Boil further 5 min then add orange zest.
Boil further 5 min then cool and add to fermenter.
Add yeast.

As well as 20l of the Hunter's apple cider thing. Slightly modified. Let's see how it turns out.

Anyone know where to buy bulk unsulphured molasses? (not blackstrap) I'm looking for about 25kg, I plan on making some rum

Unsulphured blackstrap will work, just need to add a ton more sugar. I can't believe that regular unsulphured molasses is so hard to find in SA since it's the most commonly produced type worldwide. I managed to find 3.8L at a cool price of R4330, for something that retails at less than a dollar in the states...
