Bearded's Blaand Recipe
1 gallon (4L) Whole Milk
4oz(150ml) fresh squeezed lemon juice (6 lemons)
3/4 pounds(340g) White sugar
1/4tsp Lalvin 71B Yeast - amzn.to/2ZHcbKz
6 Lactase Tablets - amzn.to/3A4TdtZ
1. Heat milk to 210F(99C), then turn OFF heat and add lemon juice. Stir gently to combine, then allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes.
2. Strain the curd and save the whey, then cool the whey to room temperature. Once cool, grind up the lactase enzyme tablets and add them to the whey. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
3. Add sugar, and dissolve completely in the whey, then pour into your fermenter and add the yeast.
4. Ferment for 3-5 days and enjoy sparkling, or allow it to settle and clear for a month, then siphon the blaand into bottles and store for up to 1 year.
The equipment I use the most:
Grommets for Airlocks - amzn.to/2Rx9m7U
16oz Swing Top Bottles - amzn.to/2L5r9Df

The final contest winner has now been chosen! Thanks so much for participating and watching my videos!

[@arghapirate2427]

Hey dude! I got my Blaand going and the taste so far is awesome. It's amazing that a drink from fermented milk has a floral and fruity notes. I just had this brain fart. Could you make Chocolate Blaand?!?!?! What would happen if I add cacao to the milk and add the lemon juice to create the whey. After seperating the curds adding sugar to the whey and let it ferment. Would I get chocolate Blaand? I fear the cacao will attach to the curds and not mix in with the whey. What do you think???

[@kb2vca]

@@arghapirate2427 I've made flavored blaand - and the best approach is to wait until you have collected the whey and then add cocoa nibs or even chocolate malt (barley). Adding cocoa means that you are adding powder that will not dissolve and when you try to clear the wine you are removing much of the flavor notes. Roasted nibs expel flavor notes because the water and then the alcohol are solvents. Not sure why the solvents don't really extract flavor from the cocoa , except that US cocoa is typically pretty awful. Chocolate malt is very roasted malted barley. It's so roasted that it has no sugars that can be fermented but it tastes incredibly like chocolate.

So far I've never made the same thing twice;-)

[@dougchaney6723]

I've been told that there's enough sugar in the urine of a diabetic that it could be fermented. Now, we expect you to find out for sure. Great video!! Keep up the great work.

Not going to test that one...ever😂

What happened to George from Barley in Hobbs. I haven’t seen any new videos from him for a while. Thanks for all the great videos that you put out

[@joycedelashmit1422]

It's hard to believe. Thanks for the recipe!

[@jjemery77]

You have got to distill that and see how it turns out.

[@itterman]

Hypothetically you should makde vodka from that. Dairy distillery in Ontario Canada has a Vodcow they make from lactose. Its interesting.

[@BeardedBored]

I'm considering it:-)

[@itterman]

@@BeardedBored Nice! The distillery gets the waste lactos from milk production and processing.. and then ferments it and make VodCow (Almonte Ontario Canada.. can get it at lcbo here). Its interesting.. they go into the tails a bit to get some of the character from the lactose.. and it comes through. I'm sure it will be tasty if you do it. Maybe you can get waste from dairy production in your area rather that starting with milk?

[@BeardedBored]

@@itterman Thanks for the advice! I'll let the liquor fairy know to dig deep into the tails to see what flavors are in there;-)

[@felix-antoineleboeuf5070]

I was hoping the liquor fairy would distill it in her magic still

[@chinanorthairguns]

The jokes this week were awesome!.

@@BeardedBored you planning on aging it with woods like he did?

Hey Bearded and bored. I recently came across your channel and have watched a dozen or so episodes, and I wanted to thank you for furthering my interest in brewing and experimenting in this hobby. At the beginning of this video I decided I wanted to try making blaand. But your super satisfied laugh around 15min in has inspired my to try so much more variety in ingredients for future brews. So I wanted to say a huge thank you for what you do and the content you put out!

[@BeardedBored]

Thanks a lot Adam! Glad I could help get you deeper down this rabbit hole. Have fun:-)
