Getting a little bit of stuff to let age awhile. one of the sept 19, bottles keeps disapearing? Having trouble keeping the flavored stuff around, my kids and son in law like it too much. I have peppermint schnapps, jolly rancher infused vodka, grape, apple, cherry, watermellon, some times Yeager!!!

oh i forgot, lots of 190 grain yet to be flavored.

Seems i end up with lots of 190, im getting to picky on my hearts cuts i save for aging, so i gets lots of stuff to run full reflux for 190!

forgot the blue stuff is raspberry jolly rancher infused vodka.

Looks like fun. Do you add sugar to the jolly rancher infusions or just leave it mostly dry? I too have enough 192 to last till spring and beyond.

I am just starting on a series of UJSSM as I am down to just a couple of bottles as I haven't really run any quantity since April...I did run a couple of crabapple washes and one black berry schnapps this summer, but need to get the stock up for the winter and spring.

Looks good, here is my partial winter supply the rest is in the outbuilding. I just put 5 quarts of apple brandy on oak.

No sugar added to the jolly ranchers, it takes at least one candy per ounce of alcohol, or a few more if you want more flavor, and 60 proof makes better shots than say using 80-90 proof.

Extract and sugar is probably cheaper, but the jolly ranchers are idiot proof so im good with it for now!

Wanting to try the cinnamon jollys too but haven't done it just yet. maybe the next sugar run i can remember to get some cinna jollys?

Did you dissolve the candy in hot water before adding? Or did you just put the candy in and let it do its thing? That looks fun. Maybe apple and cinnamon

i just put the candies in the jars and toped them of with my grain, cut to about 60 proof.

I still need to do cinnamon jolly ranchers! I did get some cinnamon oil at the Amish store today, im going to experement with it making some cinni schnapps?

I just gave up on the candy desolving. So I heated up some distilled water and melted the candy and used that water to cut the 96% down to 35%. Made green apple and cherry. 2 750 bottles. May have to try one tonight to see how it is. Thanks for the idea!

man... i don't know how yall can hold on to that stuff like that.... I would have to brew a batch every weekend to be able to have some stock... just don't last in my cabinet...vanishes somehow

I was cooking a 12-13 gallon batch of mash every weekend untill over time picked up. i was doing the sour mash thing but had to let it go and i was just at 3rd generation. My flavored stuff disappears fast when the son in laws and son are around.

I hope you're enjoying your flavored goods with them, strengthening the family bonds!
