Made some hot sauce. Touched my face. Pain.🥵🔥

But on balance, a good morning. Got about a liter of sauce there.

Cranberry mead bubbling away.
1lb cranberries and juice of 1 orange in the primary. Worried it might not be enough for a 3 gallon batch.

Gonna go orange peel, mulling slices in secondary and maybe some more cranberries if the flavor isn't strong enough.

We're on the same train, brother.

Just jarred a few lbs of this up a few days ago.

Yo GTFO. I have the same screw press that I use for making makgeolli/something resembling sake.

For a second I thought that was my picture.

Hell yeah buddy.
I knew that k3 monochrome sensor had to end up in something else sometime.

This might get me to actually buy a non-used camera for the first time in 15 years.

Cranberry cheong update:

This has sat untouched for a week.

Sugar continues to draw liquid out of the cranberries.
There is now enough liquid for the cranberries to float, but a layer of sugar remains on top. Some has settled on the bottom.
Few small bubbles. May be a sign of slight fermentation.

Yo tell everyone.

All you gotta do is bonk ICE on the head and they leave.

Cranberry cheong update:
About 24 hours in.
The sugar has started drawing the liquid from the cranberries. The only liquid in the jar is from the cranberries themselves.

Because cranberries are firm with a thick skin, I froze and thawed them before making the cheong to burst the cells a bit.

Key lime, Aleppo pepper, and salt cheong.
Can't wait to drop one of those limes into some tequila.

Ginseng liquor.
Took the small threads from the ginseng root and put it in a bottle with a Japanese rice vodka. Get drunk and healthy at the same time!

Garlic.
Bought way more peeled garlic than I could ever use fresh before it went bad.

FERMENTATION CHECK:

#1
Cranberry cheong.
I guess more preservation than fermentation. 🤷

I'm slightly offended but the algorithm ain't wrong.
