I can't help but think this will be a disappointment all round.

I bought two. The one I have eaten is a very poor relation to its former self ( when they used to come in wax wrappers)

The one in the bucket is as good as done - and has little discernible flavour - even before stripping.

ODIN has a lot to answer for on this one

Can't blame Odin - it was supposed to be Roggebrood Bolletjes, not Soreen!

It was my dumbness that desired to substitute Soreen on account of having no way to buy Bolletjes!

I'm enjoying the experiment, and if it turns out shite it'll be added to the next strip in the T500

The only one available was sliced!! FFS what next.

if you look closely the sliced weighs a bit more than the unsliced plus its the same cost

If it does nothing more, the malt loaf will feed your wash yeasties, who can complain at that?

Robert.

You're absolutely right Robert, the yeasties feasted very happily on the malt loaf and it fermented out nicely.

I know this subject has caused a bit of scorn but thought I'd share my results anyway since it's my first ever non turbo wash.

Stripped and spirit run with my airstill. Have to say I've rediscovered a love for my little Dalek!

Made my cuts into 9 mini Kilners and left to breathe last night. A quick taste of the hearts and I wasn't disappointed.

Tasted nice but I only have turbos to compare with.

Will let it age a bit and see how it goes.

Remember, it's just a silly experiment!!

No scorn intended on my part Seagull - we've all got ideas that may sound mad to others - just this one went quite off the rails when someone (Mash, I think) chucked a loaf into a kale wash. I couldn't really see what that was going to bring to the kale party (deemed mad in itself, a bit back, yet turned out excellent) other than an odd after taste! Sometimes you have to try these things.

Glad it turned out to be drinkable, and maybe an indication of how unpleasant turbos actually can be!

To me the simple thing here is to feed the Yeasties with Something.
Lots of stuff will do it, take your pick.

Robert.

Mine stripped last night (non freezer) - will go check and report back.

First spirit run. 75ml @50%.

Doesn't taste like malt loaf!

What does it taste like?

Nothing really distinct - I left the heads and tails in to see.

I think my yeast produces very neutral. [seriously]
