Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
My attempt at the Boglim "Cookie Monster" Brew.

I followed the recipie exactly as Josh did, but by 1/4th the ingredients. I do not want a large batch of this vile concoction lingering in my home.

Some notes: I did it exactly as cobra did. This means I did not first dilute the honey in warm water in order to ensure an even mixture. I simply stires vigorously as he did. As a result, the honey just kept sinking back to the bottom.

Within about 5 minutes, everything began to curdle and seperate. I beleive this has to do with either the vinigar from the peppers, or the carbonation from the monster.

I used a hydrometer to calculate the potential alcobol, however, I was unable to get a true reading due to the carbonation from the monster causing the hydrometer to float up higher than it probably should have. It's stating there should be a 12% potential alcohol, but I doubt thats accurate. I think i should have used a flat Monster to gauge this accurately.

I WILL NOT BE TASTING THIS. I AM JUST SEEING IF THIS WILL YEILD ALCOHOL.

God help me.
What does it smell like? This is horrifying but semper fi you man of science!

You are the hero we deserve. Heroes would taste it though. Just saying.

It didnt smell too bad with just the cookies, honey, sugar, bananas, etc. Just sickingly sweet.

However, the combination of the sweetness and the vinigar from the peppers, along with the fake sweetness from the Monster were pretty gross. Together they make a thick and lingering, pungent aroma, that I can't quite compare anything too.

While it was extremely off putting, and not in the slightest appetizing, it didn't have that true "ick" factor I was anticipating.

I have no doubt it will knock me off my week after fermenting for a few weeks though. I dont plan on keeping this thing any longer than three.

please please please tell us if this manages to yield any alcohol after a few weeks.
 
I return to him putting vinegar into a mead and his return to DDTS.
Can't wait for him to start rolling in fat stacks after the DDTS hits.

Isn't it just superchat that he got back? That's not really any different than his current situation. The donation just pops up on chat now, and he has to wait longer to transfer. He will probably go back to just shilling his PayPal next time he's broke and waiting on superchat payouts, which are once a month iirc.

How does he avoid food poisoning? I once was bed ridden for days after consuming some feta cheese that was kept at slightly too high a temprature, Cobe on the other hand drinks gallons of cultivated bacteria and shows no signs of nausea? I wonder if he shares a bloodline with that Tavarae guy from France that could eat a whole dead and festering cat etc....

He has trained his body and stomach to survive the harshest of conditions. I am not trying to be funny either, he has unintentionally done this by years of eating the most vile food and drink creations known to boglims.

Okay seriously, I need a brewing autist to help me figure out this vinegar mead thing. I know that some mead can turn sour and come out tasting like vinegar because of bacteria, and I know certain acids can be added after fermentation process to balance it out, but what is going to happen with that much vinegar right from the start?
 
Bruh you can't announce this and not drink it, we need a proper revreview

I have a bun in the oven and can't risk the consumption of alcohol or giving my bebe a case of Bogulism. I will see if my husband is willing to volunteer as tribute and sacrifice for the curiosity of the Kiwis.

On a side note, right after making the Boglim Mead, I started a batch of proper hard cider. It should have the potential to be as high as 16% ABV but I'll rack it before then so it will retain more sweetness.

I think it will be intresting to see and compare how both batches do in terms of when the airlocks start bubbling, when they stop, and how the charity of the liquids look.

You are my hero.
I'm really looking forward to see if this develops mold or not.

Use that to your advantage, say your feet hurt because the baby wants you to watch him drink bog juice.
