The Easy Scotch from a year or so back was the first jar I saw so in went a good glug with some ginger ale. WOW! I don't ever remember enjoying a Scotch and Dry this much!
So rewarding, this hobby of ours! :happy-partydance:

A week later nearly all the wash has cleared, will rack this afternoon and put a 2nd gen on the lees.
Wont run till the weekend to give it a few more days to clear even more.
wash has a good sour taste, will check FG tonight but the vegemite definitely puts a flavour in there, but nice maltiness from the LME.

although, i added 1/2 cup of milo as a way of quickly testing how much chocolate/toffee type flavour would come over - so it's become a bit of a blend!
I kept the middle of this run as a single pass shine. currently sip it white @40%, not as smooth as it should be as i was stripping fast, but like the flavour!
Have you done yours Big Rig?

For mine the flavor of this for the simplicity and cost is well worth while. I'll be making more of this stuff to be sure. Thank you for sharing you recipe.

Intrested in this, have recently tried chocalate malted barley and wheat, 10% seems to wipe out most other grain flavours
