WHY IS THERE ALWAYS A PINEAPPLE FLAVOR IN EVERY VARIETY CASE OF HARD CIDER.
pineapple is the absolute worst type of cider and i used to harshly judge people who drank it. the only person I ever hung out with that drank them turned out to be a chud, and i have to believe that there's a connection. since my partner hates it too and i don't want to pour them out, I'm forced to drink it!
when communism is established pineapple will only be allowed to be used as a topping on pizza.
Cider is stupid easy to make. So is sake.
Beer is harder than cider.
yeah, I came to this all because my dad homebrewed beer my whole life so I learned how to do a lot of brewing stuff as a kid. the hardest part of making beer is dialing in your processes to make it really good, but you learn a shitload of engineering/plumbing/problem solving along the way.
yeah i used to browse r/homebrewing but it always seemed like a lot more effort than i was willing to do. i never thought about making sake though, I'll have to look into that too
Just find a place that sells fresh koji and you are golden.
Cheap af to make. We make 5 gallons for about $20-30.
do you polish your rice? I always felt like that was a hard to get around step for good quality and it just sounds sooo wasteful.
No, we just buy fresh polished rice from our local asian mart.
Rice polishers are expensive.
wait why do they have polished rice? I've never seen polished rice in a store before
Sake rice is 40-60% polish.
Normal polished rice is 70-90%.
All white rice is "polished" compared to brown.
oh hell yeah. is that easy to find at an Asian store? I've never been to one but my partner loves them and we're planning on going to one soon to get ingredients for something else we're going to make
Yeah super easy to find you can get it off Amazon now.
