I don’t quite know why I didn’t realize I’d have to individually unwrap these and it’d be a pain in the ass, but there’s no going back now. Blue razz jolly rancher distillate soon. I’ve also got my sweet potato beer fermenting (it’s supposed to be pumpkin and sweet potato but the pumpkin I bought was rotting on the inside, so I just rolled with what I have). I also ended up making 80 dog treats from some of the spent grains from the beer, if pupper is happy I’m happy. Over all I think I’m coming back from my one year brewing break with a vengeance.

My girlfriend loves it! Just note that when I do beers I rent to do high abv beers, I think this batch the potential alcohol is around 12% abv, at least according to beer smith. So you might need to tweak the amount of base grains or added brown sugar to suit your tastes. If you end up making it lemme know what you think of it!
