Experiments in progress

Post by Da Yooper »

Here is my experiments I have going. All are made from sweet feed. From left to right--- cherry , jd chips and maple. I just started the JD chips (first time using chips) I'm going to give the cherry and maple a taste test in June. I know it looks like theres a lot of wood in the jars from the pic's but there really isn't. I shoot for about 15 sq. inches per jar seems to work good for me. sorry the pic is small

I did a cherry one a while back, it didnt turn out well in terms of flavour

but the colour was golden and the cherries made the likker like velvet on the tongue (amazing), didnt get much cherry flavour though

maple sounds interesting, keep us in the loop

Da Yooper gotta ask as in like second week of deer camp? I've been working on a step fermentation using a sweet feed sour mash ferment, and DADY. Preliminaries are looking pretty good with low temps and low SG's.

Melloman, I have seen Da Yoopers play( great show). Da Yoopers tourist trap is a must see if you are ever in the area. And to answer your question- yes like the second week of deer camp. Deer season is a actually a holiday for most around here. 2 weeks at camp-priceless.
