got a makgeolli making set, comes with a little bag filled with the yeast, rice shit, basically everything needed to make an an-home cup of makgeolli that actually tastes pretty good.
took my 3 gallon fermenting bottle and threw in the orange pack with like 4 pounds of honey and letting it sit for a while to see what happens.
anyone wanna place bets i’m gonna fuck up real bad and somehow poison myself with a bad batch?
personally I’m hoping it comes out really nice with that hint of orange complimenting the wildflower honey I shoved in but if it’s faint enough I think I’ll just cut up some limes and throw it in the mix somewhere down the line
Sanitation is key but it’s surprisingly easy. The only sanitation issues I’ve ever had were from fermenting in places I definitely should not have had ferments going.
I’m not sure about makgeolli but a lot of commercial alcohol is treated and filtered to remove yeast and sediment which homebrewers usually aren’t equipped to deal with as thoroughly. The yeast and sediment can severely worsen hangovers so be aware of that.
