Day One: The Mix is Created

For our donation, we started by cleaning out Red Breast’s refrigerator right after we got back from Prom Sunday afternoon. We then transferred everything to my house and blended the two starters, the first four fermentables and the first two aromatics.
We defiled a Yucca jar by drilling a hole in the lid and adding an air lock, which home-brewers use to let escaping gas out of their fermenting beer while keeping everything else out.
We wanted to wait to add the rest of the ingredients because the salt, vinegar and other preservatives in them would have slowed down the skankifying process.

Batch 1 (in jar) and batch 2. Note how much blended salmon and tomatoes looks live vomit.

Mixing vomity goodness by hand is the only way to mix vomity goodness.

The highly advanced (and hung over) engineering team devised a way to keep the air inside the jar, while avoiding a potentially deadly pressure build-up.

Day 1. In case you're wondering from this picture, we did not add Peachtree Schnapps to the mix. That was just me making Ruby Relaxers, since I didn't get to try one at John J's.
