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.
I need encouragement, fam, I burned my mash today and had to throw it all to the chickens. Your post gives hope that the finest malts and adjuncts are not what makes a home brewer. ;)
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.
