Re: Has anyone made sake before?

This is so neat, the only liquor I've ever been successful at has been when @MAGIC and I made kaluha once, boy was it boozy. This is some awesome stuff @MrTRiot

Congrats to mas0n

I have been in the number 10 folding slot at Team Icrontic for a long time, but today, I am number 11. Congratulations to @mas0n for bumping me out of the Top 10. Maybe I need a new graphics adapter. Anyway, keep up the good work!

For reference, here is also the build that Sono recommended on Discord: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F2C8cq

yea I fixed Sono's build because that motherboard is currently way overpriced and very limited stock. I replaced it with a comparable motherboard in stock
also Sono had a 500w power supply for $240, again overpriced. I bumped you to a 750w for less
So I gave you a better CPU with more cores, since you like to use a PC for 15 years lol
Mine has the USB-C case for your USB addiction and put more m.2 drives on the list. One for the OS and the 2TB for your most used programs/games

How did it turn out?

And tell me more about this banana wine!

The sake is still aging but I just checked on it and it had pretty good density separation. Technically it's a Nigori sake due to the fine rice particles in it. When it got racked to its bottle (all that work for ~300ml) it had a sweet milky taste with a hint of rice. The best way to describe it would be if Kahlua and rice pudding had a baby. Good chance I'll crack it open this weekend and snap some pics

...The banana wine has been bulk aging since December 22nd, 2019. As it's now June I think it's finally ready to be bottled. Originally it tasted like over ripe bananas but that changed to boozy banana bread when it went into secondary. It went from an starting gravity (SG) of 1.096 all the way down to a final fermenting gravity of 1.002. It was stabilized with KSorb and then back sweetened with 1.5 cups of sugar and 0.5 cups of honey bringing up the gravity to 1.029 which would make it a fairly decent desert wine
