I'm at risk of sounding like a know-it-all here, but I just can't let you guys stay all mixed up like this without trying to correct it. Koreans do use koji when they're making sak, and some pretty darn respectable sak is indeed made in that country. To further clarify on the subject of that...

Read the link in my signature, then venture a guess. :lol: I'll give you a hint, though: there are a lot of Japanese words in that six-page feature article. :D

There wasn't any crystal malt at all in my recent (November) BYO article... :P

ROFL! The same - and worse! - can be said for any number of common household and brewery substances. Grain dust, caustic soda, bleach, large volumes of boiling liquids.... Percarbonate does work just fine without the water glass additive, though. Might take a little longer, but it's still a...

Unfortunately, I don't have a garage. I also have to boil outside because I'm an AG brewer, which makes a wort chiller necessary. That's where Alaska winters really hit me: my garden hoses are frozen! Sooo, I restrict my beer brewing to summer and in the winter I make sake. Sake keeps me...

Yep, that's exactly the one I own.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but it's aliiiiiiiiiiive! I think the foam trying to claw its way out of my fermenter is the result of using homemade koji instead of the store-bought stuff I normally use. I could go on about how the Cold Mountain Rice Koji is made for making miso blah...

I think I mentioned over on NB, but the filter probably would've worked better if you let the nigori settle out first. :lol: I probably should've specified that before you tried it, but I guess it just didn't occur to me. My bad. Your sake is going to taste pretty harsh right now, with the...

Duck's nuts? Is that a good thing? Or is it Ozzie slang for "go soak yer head?" :lol: That's what comments are for. :D You can reply to me anywhere, really. I check NB most frequently, but every other forum I usually have set to send me an e-mail when I get replies. If nothing else, you...

I am summoned! :lol:
