I did add too much ice and so it melted and diluted the glass I had last night.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-6469596619883859702007-02-16T19:57:00.000-04:002007-02-16T19:57:00.000-04:00I just strained off the mauby, it's now in the fridge. It tastes good. Propably needs a little more sugar but that could be because I put too much ice in the glass I just had. Will wait until it is completely chilled overnight to taste again.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-64150737281064211172007-02-16T07:33:00.000-04:002007-02-16T07:33:00.000-04:00Update. I've just finished doing another brew and adding the reserved bark-spiced water. Remember it is a process that has to be done twice.<BR/>As I opened the container I could smell the ripening mauby. I tasted it also to ensure that it had the right amount of sweetness and that it was not too strong and bitter.<BR/>The 48 hours will be completed later this afternoon and then this evening, I am going to strain it off (I usually do a final brew at this stage), fill bottles and place them in the fridge.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-79105902523241864392007-02-15T15:49:00.000-04:002007-02-15T15:49:00.000-04:00It is not quite 24 hours yet but I did the first set of brewing adding some of the reserved bark-spiced water.<BR/>At this stage it has a sugar-water sort of smell with the hint of the bark and spices.<BR/>I noticed this time that the concentrate had a deeper, richer brown colour than the concentrate I made the first time I tried it last month. Stay tuned!Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-3185802658502808252007-02-15T07:54:00.000-04:002007-02-15T07:54:00.000-04:00I am at it again, making mauby.
