Title: Question on making Loki
Post by: Lord Virgo on January 11, 2012, 02:40:31 PM
I am going to try my hand at making some Loki.  I got a recipe but I need to know about the storage process.  Since sugar is involved I'm assuming it will be fermenting so will I have to periodically release the gas produced?  If so how often and will this effect the final product?  Or will I even have to worry about it?  Any help from you Loki makers would be much appreciated. 

Drink from the Horn!!!!!

I normally just turn my bottles once or twice a week and of course you have to sample some every once in a while...you know to ensure that the flavors are making nice with eachother... ;)

There's no fermentation because there's no active yeast to convert the sugar to Co2.  Thus, no reason to vent the jars/bottles.  The sugar in Loki is simply a sweetner.

The Everclear in Loki is already a finished product so there is no further fermentation. The aging process is simply to let the ingredients settle & blend.

Keep it in a cool dark storage while aging.

We know he won't drink the Loki. We'll give him a case of Jack to distract him.
