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.

Sounds like the sort of shit you'd make in jail. Hopefully not that nasty though... :marseysick:
