Hello eggnog thread! I've been doing nog for about 10 years at this point. Everyone in the family wants some, although I don't feel they really deserve it. I cant remember how many times I've watched that Science Friday video. Its part of my ramping up ritual ha. But I send that off everytime someone scoffs at how long I let mine age. Here's what is left of my 2 gal batch from last year.  Sorry I didn't really read through the thread yet. Does anyone bother with fancy booze? I did a side by side one year, and I didn't really notice the difference in Evan Williams bourbon vs Bulleit. I feel like the custard just takes over any nuance and you're just left with a pricier batch. edit. Ha, just looked up thread and yea. Lots of ya'll do. My sense of taste isn't distinguished.

I had a reminder for Sunday to start noggin, but I'm trying to pack to move so... poo poo I tried to do a fancy nog once. Farm eggs, good milk, good booze. Didn't really help the end product imo. I feel like time is the icky ingredient worth splurging on.

I've got last November batch. More than I expected, I think about a gallon survived. Mild Winter I guess. Never have I kept more than one years worth. Feels too early to start.. I like it too be cool out. I usually do mine near Halloween.

22 Eargesplitten posted:I'm prepping for nog this year. I usually do Alton Brown's recipe but adding rye so it's 6oz each of brandy, rum, bourbon, and rye. I've got most of a bottle of Rhum Barbancourt 8 year, would that go well in nog or would the complexity of it just muddy up the flavor? I generally prefer the 4 year because I like the harsher flavor so I don't really ever use the 8 year. I'm planning on Rittenhouse for the rye and OGD Bottled in Bond for the bourbon. Possibly Pierre Ferrand for the brandy, people in the cocktail thread recommended it as a general cocktail brandy. One year I went with some nice booze, and farm eggs.. I don't think it tasted much different than my normal batch with evan williams/meyers/cheap eggs. I think between aging and all the milk/sugar, it really dulls out the nicer ingredients.

I did it. I got my nog rocking. Should be gtg for Xmas! I start planning around halloween, but then procrastinate til after thanksgiving most years. Getting just enough time by Xmas. I think next year, I'm going to switch to liquid yolks and maybe get in with 9 gallons instead of 6 I did this year. This goes out as gifts mostly.
