agave to tequila
    #22423895 - 10/23/15 05:26 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

thinking of making a mash out of this. Also, im supposed to go harvest a couple of very large agave plants some guy wants out of his yard from craigslist.  Ill ferment in that ozarka just of mine (its not really ozarka, its an off brand).

You also need one of the correct species of agave, and you need to harvest the pina at the right time, and you need to cook it properly to convert the starches to fermentable sugars. Then you need to grind it prior to fermentation. Not an easy endeavor on a small scale.

I do have a stove you know. I was at a house earlier doing remodeling and they had blue agave in their front yard. Was all talking to them about it. I suppose if I don't have blue agave I'll aim for mezcal.  Ither way,  sounds like a fun project.

A stove won't work, but you could probably get away with a large PC like a 921 or preferably a 941 if you were shooting for tequila.

The blue agave that they use for landscaping in your region is not one of the correct species.

You want A.tequilana, A. angustifolia, or A. potatorum.

The first is not hardy to your zone. The second may be hardy to your zone. The latter is definitely hardy to your zone.
