The recipe calls for a pound of sugar, and you’re worried about raw egg yolks.
Holy Canoli, one pound sugar- seems way over the top. I want to taste more than just sweetness.
Can you cut the sugar down by 1/2?

Sampled the PB whiskey eggnog. Very rich, richer than normal also with this nice little saltiness. More to follow.

AKA 2 cups. You can cut it some but the recipe isn't too sweet as is but you do you.

Just finished off my last mason jar from last year. Topped it with a little nutmeg. Phenomenal as always. Still have a little frozen from last year’s batch that I want to scoop over some apple cobbler.

If I'm crunching the numbers correctly, that's triple batch of the AB recipe, right?

Correct. I make it and give it away as gifts.

how did it compare? I'm interested to try this.
So good and easy. Could def use a little more booze though. Everyone has enjoyed it so far. I will probably never go back to the AB recipe.
Also, a few years ago I put some aged egg nog in a homemade ice cream maker and it was a game changer

Cracked open my batches from September. First time trying AB's recipe and I find they came out a little TOO strong. Do they just need to age longer? Anyone experiment with using less, or different alcohols and manage to not affect the preservation?

Is the alcohol taste supposed to come through in the finished product or is the point of aging it to get rid of that? I was late finding this thread but I made some anyway out of curiosity. I taste tested a couple of days after I made it and I thought it was very good but I definitely can tell there's alcohol in there, which I don't mind.
After seeing the above comment about thinking it was too strong after 3 months of aging, I'm looking for some clarity on what you guys expect the finished product to taste like.

I rest mine for a year. Look, it’s got a lot of boize. It will be stronger than the shite you buy at the store. Aging it takes the edge off, not the proof.

I have 2 bottles left from 2020. Its AB aged. Its very good, but I dont think its worth the aging for years.
Personally, I think 4-6 weeks is the sweet spot. At that point it still fresh, but the burn is mellowed.
I've tasted this 5 year old batch each year and it definatly changes in complexity. I am just not as much of a fan at 1 year+ aging.

Shout out for that bottle of Chicken Cock. That's legit good bourbon.

Time for a bump and to get started

Found a jar from last year in the back of the fridge yesterday

Thanks for the bump. I've never done this before. Im going to try it.
It mentions saving the egg whites, what do you guys do with your whites.
Also, are we using dark rum?
Is wheated bourbon the best way to go?
I love Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, and Four Roses. I'm not sure how the char flavor in WT will translate though.l

Do you have a Total Wine near you?
Posted on 10/3/26 at 10:00 pm to xXLSUXx
I made it for the first time last year, but was late to the game and did it the week of thanksgiving. I have 6 bottles in the fridge and have been waiting to crack one.

I had these questions too. I don’t think you’re tasting the difference in the final product if you use dark vs light rum or one bourbon bs the other.
Don’t get caliber to use but you don’t need $100 bottles either.
