I got drunk off my own sake

!boozers

I have spent the last few months building a koji incubator, incubating koji and then fermenting sake. I spent today pasteurizing and bottling the sake, and finally got drunk off homemade ricewine.

It's unfiltered nigorizake and it's DELICIOUS

When I was in Vermont, I had found there was a lot of mead going on because a lot of small landowners in VT have bees, and mead is easier to make than beer. (The process is identical, but mead has relatively little variation in ingredients).

I decided if you can make mead out of honey, you should be able to make it out of maple syrup too, so through a connection I managed to score 2 gallons of maple syrup for like $60, which if you don't know is a SERIOUS DISCOUNT. I mixed it with water and champagne yeast and let the magic happen.

Several weeks later, I served my completed maple mead to my friends. It was, in the end, around 15% alcohol, and it tasted like that scene in Super Troopers where they're all chugging maple syrup in a diner. Nobody liked it. I never did it again.

The end.

That's super disappointing! What did it taste like? I would suggest making mead and once it's pasteurized and stable backsweetening with maple syrup

I think you can do something with maple syrup, like you're suggesting, but what I did was just maple, water, and yeast, and it tasted like watered down breakfast syrup. It was very interesting, but it wasn't good.
