SudoMate Mk. 5 Recipe
SudoMate Mk.5 debuted at the First Friday Event at Sudo Room, Oakland, CA.
The batch was created hours earlier by Ray Lai & Max Klein with help from Ari Kahn. A Rube Goldbergesque heat exchange was created to watercool the boiling hot mate in time for the event.
No one was burned in the making of the batch.
Learnings
What we are learning from time to time
From of Batch #1, #2 and #3
RECIPES ETC
- Vanilla extract makes for a really nice aroma. REALLY AWESOME TO HAVE! GETZ IT!
- Salt-lite, mix of potasium and sodium 50/50, is even better than salt. More electrolytes.
PROCESS, GEAR
- Bigger pot for main-batch - our keg is 5 gallons. Morten can bring the Subiir turkeyfrier for brewing for next time.
- More containers and things to pour from, into and through in general.
- Getting a big and fine strainer along with a corresponding funnel would be very awesome.
- It was a bit confusing that there were a lot of opinions on each batch. Making batches with separate master chefs worked really well to counter this.
- However, it was a bit messy with a lot of batches going on at once. Better space preparing and workflow would improve this greatly.
- A designated documenter made sure documentation was happening; it worked well that said documenter said ready by the keyboard, doing Just In Time documentation (ie. chefs would simply say numbers as they added, as it was all very experimental).
Bottling from Keg, links
