all is swell, keef. i have a new grow, new tent, new light and new circulation fan.

 

[Keef]

I just want to see if I can Crack 100 proof without distilling !-- Pretty sure I can !-- What would U call that fruit what ? Is it still brandy ?

 

[Keef]

Work it O.F. !-- Something happening around here with the new Congress! -- Not sure what it's gonna be but they could fix that MMJ Law !-- I'm down !-- Just blow the dam whistle already ! -- I'm moving my third leg of a 4 part rotation to bloom on the 15th !-- I got them all spread out instead of in 2 boxes so it looks pretty sparce !--
I'll get there !

If you freeze it off, then freeze off the results again yaou should wind up with about a quart of zaaacctly what you looking for. By the way, I'm mixing mash tonight. Just heard the snowplows going by. Share one?:48:

 

[Keef]

Just got D.D. off to work !-- I had a sandwich and I'm gonna work on this pipe !-- I'm gonna be using some dry ice so I figured I'd play around some !-- Lower the temp more ice I can get off !-- I been playing !-- reducing it from 5 to one makes a pretty potent liquor ! -- I got me a yeast culture now so long as I keep it alive I don't need anymore yeast !-- I got that 5 gallons of pear brewing !-- 3-36 ounce cans of pears in heavy syrup !-- Been brewing about a week but the temps been down so it slowed up !--Might let it go another week !-- Post to freeze here tonight !-- I don't believe it !

 

[Keef]

Mixing it to drink or mashing in ?-- That would be different wouldn't it ?-- Unless U doing both ?--

 

[Keef]

Nick ---I quit filtering out the mash or "fruit must" they call it !-- Put the five gallon bucket in the freezer over night then poke some holes in the ice and pour out about 2 gallons then reduce it to one !

 

[Keef]

Nick telling on me like that !-- I was gonna tell it about how hard it was gonna be to break 100 proof without distilling !-- O.K. !---So it ain't real hard to do Nick !-- It will rock your world too !

 

[St_Nick]

Hey man the only thing I ever made like that was 80 proof apple jack. Its made from apple cider. I am impressed with the way you ran with the concept. I decided to run my mash just for the CO2. I'll make the shine but I may keep a mash pot going for the next run in the garden just to see if it makes a difference. If it does it sure would be cheaper then buying CO2 from the gas joint.

 

[St_Nick]

Do you add any sugar to your brew?:vap-Bong_smoker:

 

[Keef]

What up Nick ? --Besides me ! -- Lit up down here Cuz !-- Yep !-- I add sugar !-- It's kind of a cross between sugar liquor and a mash !-- 100 lbs of sugar --100 gallons of water and pound of yeast best I remember !-- I just added a pound of fruit per gallon !-- Yeast don't know what kind of sugar it eats !-- My thought was that with all this talk about terepenes and I know that means taste and smell !-- I figure without distilling I can get all that into the liquor! -- and I can !-- There's a sweet spot !--- Even if it don't help the grow ? --Let's pretend it does !

 

[Keef]

It's an art !-- $100 a gallon got nothing to do with it !-- Some times it's harder to not to do a thing-- than to do it !

 

[St_Nick]

I'm up too. Those seeds you sent me last summer had several un-named seeds from Nirvana. I started 6 of them and wound up with 2 distinctly different plants. One is a stinky Indica and the other is distinctly Sativa. The Sativa is how can I put this.......delicate, I guess is as good as any. The leaves and stems are tiny. As a result I have 4 Hoeberries, 3 Sativa and 3 Indica. It should be pretty interesting once the flowers start. I'm going to keep the mash pot in there so I can benefit from the added CO2.

What's the best way to order something from exotic genetics

 

[St_Nick]

Here's a shot showing 1 of each.

[Keef]

That Hoe Berry gonna be a keeper !-- I already had an early taste !-- Rock hard white bud ! -Fast finisher too !--- Those free unmarked seed scare me after I got that auto abomination thing !-- It ain't natural to start bloom until I flup the lights and say it's time !--

 

[Keef]

Bud got the disease! -- What U chasing Bud ?

 

[St_Nick]

Ahhhh.... You got no sense of adventure! I'm always up for a challenge as long as it doesn't involve bugs,,,or disease,,, or cops.. Growing new strains, thats fun! I've actually been thinking about trying to order some seed and try autos just so I can watch 'em develop.:vap-Bong_smoker:

 

[Keef]

This is the yeast I use !-- Run before last I saved the sediment in the bottom and added water and sugar !-- She bubbling away !-- I pour some of that in a new batch !

I use Red Star as well. Mine comes off the shelf at the local grocer. Interestingly enough he sells sugar (and corn meal) in 50 lb bags!
