I am brewing up Imperial Molasses Stout tomorrow.  My first batch was super yummy so now I get to see if i can replicate it.

RE freeze distilling. heat distillation is legal in some states, so long as you don't make more than a certain amount,  I figure the same applies to freeze distillation.  I guess it depends on where you are brewing.

I also checked around a bit and according to my (admittedly relatively brief) research so long as it is not distilled to have more than 24% ABV it's still considered wine/beer in the state of Ohio

Then the people on homebrewtalk.com are a bunch of sissy cunts for shutting the discussion on freeze distilling cause you need a freezer that goes below -16 Celsius (3.2F) in order to be able to reach 24% ABV:


( source: http://eckraus.com/wine-making-applejack.html gives four data points, I just drew the lines, seems pretty linear in this range )

My graph just shows the absolute limit you can attain, if you repeatedly distill and filter until it no longer freezes at that temp. Doing the process one or two times is going to yield a slightly lower ABV.

I don't think my freezer goes to -16, probably -12 or so. I know, I'll just stick my kitchen thermometer in the slush I have freezing right now. BRB.

huh, seems I was wrong, thermometer says -19.8 degrees Celsius. That means I can make nearly 27% ABV!!! :banana:

I'll have the apple for the Meatup...  The strawberry cordial is bottled, and the peach and blackberry cordials SHOULD be about ready by then, I'm just out of bottles...

I desperately need to go to the brew store this week for bottles and priming sugar. Though I think this shit has a fizzy of it's own already.

Good god! Even flat and warm with a little parfum d'yeast! It's not like, super high in alcohol, but it'll get you buzzed good and proper. Once I get this stuff out of the carboy I'm making another batch for Pennsic, because this 4 gallons is gonna go fast.

Make sure you save the receipt on your salad spinner, though. I just broke the pull-cord on mine. I suppose lettuce is quite a bit lighter than ice :(

Gonna take it back to the store this weekend. It wasn't a very cheapo one (12 euros iirc), and on my first ice spinning, the plastic grip on the other end of the cord partially split open. That can't have had anything to do with the weight of the ice, but just shitty construction. I fixed it with duct tape, but now that the other side came loose, I can't fix it and the thing is broken, and I think it even had a two year warranty ...

If the manual doesn't say you can't spin ice in it, and it looks sturdy/quality enough to hold itself, that means I can take it back.

This one's pretty tank, didn't give us any trouble.  We actually had to move to the floor from the table, it was shaking the whole table.   :D

I found another suggestion for freeze distillation, probably gonna try it when I get to that point.

That is, freeze it in a plastic 2-liter bottle, cut slits in the bottle, attach to a power drill and spin like that (in a bucket)

So, I'm thinking to myself...  Why the hell did I buy a five pound bag of oranges?  There's no way in hell I'm going to eat them all before they go bad...

What can I do with all these oranges...

Hm...
