  • “Delicious Recipe Ideas”

    Posted by AkCoyote on October 26, 2004 at 3:58 am

    Yesterday I went into the old board and did a search under ‘Recipe’. The good part is that I was able to copy 16 pages of recipes in WORD. The bad part is that many of the posts were just comments with no actual recipes within. I’m fairly certain that there are still a large number of them there within some of the non-descript posts.So a thought came to me. One of the things that I have really taken to since I started distilling is experimenting with the various recipes that I’ve come across. Not only the recipes for washes but things such as charring oak and different ways to add flavor both before and after distilling. Everyone here has special ways of doing things and it’s a shame to lose all of the wisdom that has accumulated.What I would like to do is put together a book/catalog of recipes and procedures. It would not cover distilling per se but how to prepare washes for specific alcohols, how to blend for flavor and how to create different liqeuers from scratch. The assumption would be that the reader knows how to build and run a still but wants variation of the product.Anyone wanting to contribute can either post here or send a private message. All who contribute will receive a copy of whatever I can put together. This will take some time but I think it will be well worth it.AkCoyote

    I might be new at this, but count me in! I know what it’s like to loose recipies. My grand parents use to make this fruit “topping”. All I remember was it had pineapple and cherries in it. Grandmom use to keep this glass container on the kitchen counter with this stuff in it. And only served it to adults, becuase it was fermented. It was usually served ontop of vanilla ice creame. But alas, no one in the family know how to make it any longer after both my grand parents passed away. Jaxx

    also count me in Great idea !!! What e-mail adress would you like me to send the recipies I have ? Also I found one site with 160 recipies but I am afraid it’s in Dutch. Perhaps I can translate the ones which you don’t encounter much.And I hope you are collecting the recipies which don’t use artificial components (artificial flavouring, ect)

    You can send the recipes any number of ways. At the bottom of the original mwssage are some buttons. Use them to send either an email or personal message. You can also click on any AkCoyote link to bring up my profile and send messages from there. Or simply post them in this area and title them “Fill in the blank” Recipe. Always add the word ‘recipe’ so that the post will be searchable.Once I have a draft ready I’ll post it on the internet and send the link to all contributors.AkCoyote
