Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm on my third day of making this batch of OS. It IS going to be easier next time! For one thing, at a trip to my local beer and wine-making store I got a hydrometer. I had to go back for instructions yesterday, and bought a small cylinder to place the OS plus hydrometer. Total, less than $11, plus a glass of wonderful stout one day and ale the next. Delish! I'd much rather be making dark ale than OS, By the way, my hydrometer has several scales; make sure your instructions are very clear and specific. You can buy them online if there's no store near you, but it just won't smell and taste a great as a visit! Something that would probably help many of us, would be measurements! The instructions for SAFETY are extremely specific, but the instructions for liquids and solids are very vague. I am guessing that some of us are winding up drinking double the amount of OS than others. My dream: For two gallons, or ____ liters, start with ___ lbs, or ____kilos of oleander leaves and stems. It is initially concentrated sufficiently when the volume is____________,or the specific gravity is__________. Then you add an equal amount of vodka or vinegar and drink__________. To concentrate even further, boil down to_______ oz, Add vodka or vinegar, and drink_________ daily.It would take a lot more guesswork out of things. For next time! Any measurement lovers out there?Rhoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
