My friend if I can make liquor out of flamin hot Cheetos, a bit of burned mash is nothing to worry about! If you ask me what makes a good home brewer it’s the desire to make something and the ability to do a very large amount of cleaning lol. Besides, you never know, maybe the charred mash might result in some tasty dark Carmelized notes in the beer :) as they say: relax, don’t worry, have a home brew.

Apologies if you don’t use freedom units, feeling a bit lazy after unwrapping a ton of jolly ranchers lol

Appreciate it! And hey maybe the blue razz gnomes are holding onto the supply of delicious artificial flavored sugar and we’re on a quest to slay them and allow all the folk to drink it and be merry. (There’s a reason I’m not the dungeon master in my DND group, I’m not the most creative)

Dog tax.

Oooh, glad to hear it worked out for you! And hmm, mead may be the one thing I haven’t brewed yet, but biggest things are always sanitize and write stuff down. Best investment you can make equipment wise in my opinion is something to control fermentation temperatures; hot side is easy, cooling stuff down is a bit more expensive, typically a spare fridge. It’s definitely worth it though, it made my beers go from “oh these are good” to consistently some of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Funny thing is I actually made milk wine (called Blaand) and it’s actually similar to white wine. That and the one gallon i made giving me enough cheese to last a lifetime, I dunno if I’d be able to pull off 5 gallons. The fun dip someone else posted is looking mighty tempting though…

Ooooooo. This might be the vibe lol

Only way to find out is to fuck around, find out, and post your results 😅

Ooooo, I’m tossing that on my list. I like the idea lol

I do like the idea of Mountain Dew! It’s only go perfectly with the Cheeto liquor lol. Though; i do love the idea of warheads, chalky or not, I like sour stuff lol

Looks intently at 5 gallons of milk and a box of lactase pills

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
