From the picture, this tops my list, flaming hot Cheetos… after mentioning it yesterday, my enzyme came in later than expected but I decided to send it anyways. It’s so greasy it’s probably turned me off Cheetos forever. However, science must ensue. Here we have 15 pounds of flamin hot Cheetos mashed with enzymes for an hour and 8 pounds of sugar. Honestly, after tasting the mash, the heat doesn’t come through, and frankly it mainly tastes/smells like a corn mash. Personally I’ll be surprised if I can tell the difference between this and a white whiskey made from straight corn. So, what’s the dumbest thing you’ve done?

Honestly it works. I find that even without sanitization adding in good yeast results in good results most of the time lol. And funny enough tomato is on my list (but for beer, I’ve just been in a distilling mood lately). I also want to do Carmelized onions in a beer but that’s neither here nor there lol

Cool beans!

Speaking of, can beer or wine be made with beans? 🤔

I have no idea, obviously it takes time to brew. But whatever you come up with, keep us updated..

Hmmm beans do have a decent bit of carbs in them so hypothetically there should be an enzyme to convert those into sugars. Only one way to find out lol
