Milo

What’s the difference between a rocket booster on Elon Musks latest creation the Falcon 9 and Milo? Milo is packed full of enough energy to keep a 12 kid playing all afternoon without having to come back to earth.

What’s the difference between a rocket booster on Elon Musk’s latest creation, the Falcon 9, and Milo? Milo is packed full of enough energy to keep a 12 year old kid playing all afternoon, without having to come back to earth. It’s special formula was created by a chemist in Australia over 100 years ago and was used by the Post Dept. on their horses to give them enough energy to cover the great Australian plains. It is now one of the six major food groups.

I turn this into Milo

Doesn’t seem like much, and it isn’t.

What you do is use the syrup and butter to make a toffee. Let it cool, then blend it.

Add the rest to the blender and blend some more.

Job done.

Although it is similar and it tastes nice, it isn’t as sweet as Milo, or as malty.

Beer

I turn plants matter and sugar into beer using a big glass bottle.

For thousands of years beer has been the alcoholic beverage of choice for the majority of people. It is the major driver of overpopulation, and “Big Pharma” lobbies governments all over the world to keep it cheap and legal so they can sell headache pills to the masses, no one ever stops at one headache pill.

This is beer. All you need to do is put all this stuff together in a particular way and “voila”.

I’m using a 5L Saison kit I got from the Hop + Grain. It’s an intermediate step between using the extract brew kit and all grain method.

Steep the grain

Remove the grain

Add some malt extract and hops then simmer for while. Part way through “The Boil” add the remaining malt extract, and just near the end add the other hops.

Put it in a big glass bottle, find a quiet spot for it then

wait…

Cola

A drink loved all over the world. Some say the crusades uncovered the recipe for cola while looking for the holy grail, others say it was created by aliens. The truth is that back in the middle ages the Illuminati created it as a way of laundering their extreme wealth. It was a way that they could move large amounts of cash around the world without raising suspicion. They created a company to produce Coke, a drink they knew would be irresistible to the poor and simple minded. They do this by using money in one country to make coke and then import that to another country. It is then easily turned back into cash. When the mafia caught onto this they created Pepsi for the same purpose.

Today is cola

I’ve taken these raw ingredients (does anyone really know what chinese five spice is) and I have combined them in a way that makes one of the most refreshing mixers I have ever tasted. I had this on a hot summers day and I dropped at least 5 degrees.

You need to zest all those bad boys and put them in a big pot with their juices, the sugar, and water. Cook it down to extract the old from all that zest. After that add the other stuff and cook it some more. Once you think it is cooked enough take it off the heat and let it cool.

Once cool strain it and bottle it. Add it to some ice with some soda water and job done. Delicious refreshing cola.

Coffee Roasting in a Popcorn Popper

Popcorn Popping Roaster

Coffee.

One of the worlds most loved drinks. Whether it’s the flavour or for a kick, coffee is enjoyed by just about everyone. The only people that don’t drink coffee are either transcendent and have surpassed the everyday struggle us mere mortals live day by day, or society says they are too young, and therefore have no need for this elixir. The Ancient Mayans believed that if someone young enough was to drink enough coffee they would live forever.

I use a Mistral Party Fun Popcorn Popper to raost green coffee beans.

My plan. To put some coffee beans in, turn it on, and and take them out when they looked right. Thats right, I’m going by colour alone.

Apart from being amazed that it actually worked, the first roast was over in about four and a half minutes. Much faster than I thought it would take. Charff went everywhere and the beans popped, they actually popped. When in Rome. This I found out subsequently was called the first crack, it is when the moisture in the bean (not a bean) builds up pressure and splits making an audible crack.
