This blog is run by two friends who have an interest in both drinking sake and homebrewing.
Back in the dark ages (ok, 1999...) I was homebrewing mead. I stopped for several years and didn't pick it back up until 2005. I actually have some that I need to bottle right now. Oh, to have more free time...
One night about three weeks ago an idea hit me: combine my previous brewing experience and knowledge with my love for sake and homebrew it myself! Someone else has to be doing that too but I had heard all sorts of rumors about how difficult it is or that it's too complex for your average person. Yeah. Right. That's just the sort of thing that motivates me. ;)
After a bit of research to find out the basic process (especially the part about koji which I had NO clue) I contacted my buddy Brian about it, fully knowing ahead of time what he would say. I got a resounding "Hell yeah!" He's easy when it comes to things like this. Sorry, man! LOL
After gathering information from the internet and discussing some details, we understood the fundamentals of the process and found sources for the ingredients. To record all of our mad-scientist-sake-maker plans we decided to create this blog.
Closet Sake. It's like you're brewing sake in secret because don't want your co-workers to find out - unless it's REALLY good sake. ;)
So, again, welcome to Closet Sake. We'll be brewing and you'll be reading. Hopefully we can spread some sake homebrewing joy around the internet and you can make some too. Until then, stay tuned in and give us your comments!
