Making and cooking

This has been a full weekend of hobby! Friday night I went to yellow house canyon brew works for there monthly last Friday event! I had some great beer and got 3 people to join the Homebrew club!

Saturday was a FULL day of brewing! The club did a social brew at my home and we brew three historical beers. We brewed Thomas Jefferson's beer, Benjamin Frankln's beer, and a 1744 porter. It was crazy busy and exhausting!

Sunday was a busy day as well. I wrote a 6 page paper on the sate of of sex education in Texas. FUN STUFF!

After writing my paper I set to work on making 2.5 gallons of red rice wine! It is a tart wine made from two forms of Asian yeast and Jasmin rice. Here is the recipie I followed today.

9 cups rice (steamed or boiled 2-1 ratio water to rice)

8 yeast balls crushed to powder

3/4 cup red yeast rice ground to powder

Let rice cool and roll into balls. Coat balls with mixture and stack in jar. Top jar with cheese cloth then screw on lid. Let stand 3 to 14 weeks. Seperate and drink. I am going to pasturize when the flavor is right. I should get around 2 gallons of the wine.

During the process of making rice wine I also made some stew for the week! I substituted the barly for lentils. This soup was really easy and only took about 40 min total to cook.

The soup came out wonderfully! Now I am off to watch wolf of Wall Street and sleep! Thank you for reading. Have a great week!
