KB-4/7/17

  • KB-4/7/17 tasted, 6/10 exactly ready for harvesting, bottled as it is, around Vc=10 l, labeled as +KB-14/7/17

KB-14/7/17

  • Vc=10 l; 6%(w/v; 600 g) of olbs (bit darker); 0.5%(w/v; 50 g) of black tea; Vc=10 l; original kombucha SCOBY cut in half and split into two batches, this is one of them; batch let to ferment at room t +- 20-25°C; labeled as ===> KB-14/7/17*

KG-14/7/17

EXEC-11/7/17

Experiment Egg Cognac - EXEC-11/7/17

We have used fallowing ingredients

  • 3 000 ml rum negrita (amber rum, strong flavour)
  • 500 ml of standard rum
  • 3 483 ml evaporated milk (unsweetened, whole milk)
  • 30x egg yolks (A standard size, 18x egg yolks organic)
  • 500 ml whole cream (30% fat)
  • 1 000 g of honey
  • 250 ml of kumquat syrup

Total volume was around 9 000 ml, therefore the alcohol concentration is around 15.5%. It has to be noted that this egg cognac may be bit more liquid than the experiment before because the sweetened evaporated milk which was used previously is much more thicker (over 37% of sugar content per weight). However previous experiment was too thick hard to get out of the bottle (also 12x egg yolks were used per liter of rum). The egg cognac should be let to mature at least for two weeks or rather a month.
