My nog has been aging for about 3 months now. So close to being able to crack it open... I went with Makers Mark for the bourbon this year instead of whatever cheap stuff I found on sale. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out. Does anyone here add any spices in right away when making it? I'd worry that they'd overpower the drink considering how long they are in there for.

Got a double batch in at the start of the month. As always did one with my normal recipe, and one with a few tweaks. Using brown sugar and a bit more rum in the experimental batch this year.

Nephzinho posted:Any good deals on jars? I just made my batches for Christmas and realized halfway through that I do not have enough. Threw it in a 4 quart clear cab for holding but probably shouldn't leave it in there (or should i?). I just use old growlers I have cleaned, sitting around. Thats worked well for me for a few years now.

This came up in the homebrew thread but a reminder to start your nog for the season! I use the Chow recipe and have had good luck with it for years using Makers Mark for the bourbon. Today Costco had the Barton single barrel stuff for cheaper than Makers so going that route this year.

I think if you're going to spend money on any real ingredient bourbon is the place to do so. I've used cheap eggs vs farm organic and not noticed a difference. Same with the milk and cream. The choice of bourbon seems to have the greatest effect. One year I tried a honey bourbon and while right on the edge of being to sweet it was fantastic. Going back to original recipe this year.

Have you ever saved the egg whites, whipped them up and did the whole normal preparation? How much better does that taste? I usually just drink mine on the rocks as an eggey and sweet bourbon.

I always keep a bit that I age for one year so I've got some on hand too. In my testing 1 year is the perfect amount to age. I haven't noticed much if any improvement beyond that.

No way I know of to check. If it doesn't smell off or look funky I'd say you're good. Try a bit first before going nuts. There's enough booze in there to kill just about any germs.

In the same vein as EggNog - I made this and have really enjoyed it so far this week. My bottle aged about 3 months: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/allspice-dram-7994228
