The Mystery of the Kitchen Cupboard
In cleaning out the kitchen cupboard I came across some green tea powder about 2lbs left and a large jar of strawberry jam from a two pack from sam’s club I forgot about. I have been running nothing but corn but felt like branching out and bought a 25lb bag of steel cut oats.Here is what I cooked up in a 5 gallon pot- 10 cups of steel cut oats- 7 cups of white sugars. I’ve been doing cup for cup grain to sugar but since I’ve added a jar of jam I knocked off some cups. – 1 large jar of strawberry jam- 7 cups of green tea powder- a good couple tablespoons of DADY I’ve read reviews on oatmeal mashes and went out and got one of those painter stirrers for your drill. Highly suggested! I think I’ll need to get some amylase ordered for future runs. any critics, suggestions, tweaks or help would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be running this Friday.

Next time you’re feeling ‘oatey’, you might consider using rolled oats. Not only are they less expensive than steel cut, they come pre-gelatinized and make conversion happen a bit quicker.“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.”- W.C.

If a family member is an avid canner, old home made jelly can stack up in the cupboard sometimes; and go unused. A fine resource to use for ferments. Coffee gets stored in the cupboard to, but it’s usually too expensive to store in quantity. That leads to my next observation.
Ah hell no. That’s where I draw the line. Before long there will probably be some jackass on this forum bragging about his new Kopi luwak infused liqueur; and new threads ‘popping out’ about it under “Flavoring and Aging”. It’s for sale at Walmart; wonder if Starbucks has gone there too?.

Ran last Friday 4/5 and I can’t recommend this nastiness! Taste like an unsweetened fig newton. I tried a toasted oak coil in one of the quarts and let sit all week and that didn’t help, I’ve got some on ice trying to choke it down and it has even more of a pronounced fig newton taste. I will say this. its smooth, velvety, and has a melts on the tongue feel which are all the characteristics I’ve heard you get from the oats. but the taste is the biggest turn off which I imagine is coming from the green tea and absolutely none of the strawberry came through. I’ve got another Quart jar of the stuff, is there a way to balance out this flavor?

Lots of time on wood. Shove it to the back of the cupboard with a proper amount of oak for a couple three years. It sounds like that’s all it needs to me magical,but I like fig newtons.Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.
