My Milk Wine project

[seth8530]

From what I remember it was more wine lime than one would expect. I recall it having a greenish hue. But it was not as bad as one would suspect, kind of funKY and Barnardy but likely not something I would do again.

Interesting... I made a gallon batch of koumis some months ago using lactose free /fat free milk. For the sugar source I used honey (about 12% ABV) and then added some roasted cocoa nibs. So it is a milk chocolate honey wine... but it doesn't taste like Toblerone although it is becoming noticeably more drinkable as it ages. The color is bright clear with a hint of burnished gold.

That sounds amazing, I've always wanted to try Kumis.

I have a buddy in Moscow looking out for it, but I feel it's going to cause issues trying to get it stateside.

Traditionally, it is mare's milk that is used to make koumis.. Never tasted the authentic koumis but lactose free cow's milk seems to work OK..
