I also bottled 6x450ml bottles of the filtered wonju diluted at a 2:1 ratio with water to enjoy as makgeolli. This needs 3 days to a week in the fridge for the flavors to mature.
Any residual sugars will create certification during this time.

Traditionally, makgeolli is filtered by pouring the wonju into a filter bag and hand squeezing the liquid out. Some of the sediment makes it through the cloth and you end up with a roughly filtered rice wine.
I use a brew bag and a cheap screw press made for pursuing fruit and cheese making.

Time to filter this wonju into makgeolli/yakju/takju.
Should yield 20ish bottles depending on dilution and bottle size.
Probably gonna put some in a half gallon jar or two to separate so I can cold crash and separate into yakju and takju.
The rest will be makgeolli or wonju.

My South Korea notes may be over, but I have been enjoying some Makgeolli grabbed from Hai Na to remind me of time out there. It may look like spunk but it is tasty and a very easy to drink 3% abv.

Okay. Tried the makgeolli in my little ceramic Chinese bowl that are a bazillion years old (my Nana's dad? Grandpa? Was some sort of mercenary and that's how they bowls got to us idk? I never know how much she says is true) and it's a good time. Like I get why everything is like "don't sip".

Okay Spouse brought this home and friends how can I drink this like a lazy bean who owns no proper cups for anything (like I own some pint glasses and a variety of random mugs that's it) like what are the rules (keep in mind I drink soju by sticking a straw in the bottle and having at it)

Lucifer would drink Makgeolli, a Korean rice wine that looks like milk.
Laz would drink yayin (wine) but no one probably knows how to make it right anymore.
Sergei would drink Transylvanian Plum Brandy, Tuica.
That's all I got. Though, wait, Metatron drinks Jack Daniels.
That's all I got. 😆

Tomorrow I'm gonna mix some kukicha with miso and a bit of makgeolli and slather it on a block of tofu and let it sit for 2-3 months. It will be very exciting to see what happened to it in March
