The Egg Nog Thread

[sameasiteverwas]

I make some every year and used to cuvee old batches. They were fine but imo not really any better, so I just finish each year's batch in the year now. That's valuable fridge space the other 10 months of the year.

You don’t have a dedicated Nog fridge? I thought people told me mborden was cool?

I actually have a lot left from last year so not going to make more this year. Excited to start drinking it again.

I did it. Alton Brown recipe with a modest addition of vanilla extract. Got a dozen pints and four 750s from this batch. Plus one rocks glass pour. I would have no problem drinking this from the jump.

Some Alton Brown Nog I made a few weeks ago.

It was tasty fresh, but once it hits about 2-3 weeks…

This year's batch is drinking great. Enjoying it with Clark and Eddie.

36 eggs
Gallon of whole milk

4-1/2 cups sugar
1 gallon + 1 pint (4.25L) of booze

Final yield is right around 4 gallons
