I just want to reiterate this is NOT real pulque. Just a drink inspired by it, and drinks more like an agave seltzer. My hope is that this inspires you to try and find the real thing or make your own drink inspired by this unique beverage. Thanks!
I was going to try this until reading the “agave seltzer” line lol…I am dying to hit up Mexico and try real pulque but I just don’t know what variation of a home brew recipe will get me closest
@@TheBruSho definitely. Hope this comment didn’t come off as rude btw! I currently have some Tepache fermenting where I am following some of the steps you had in your video. I never bottled it like you so I’m giving that a try!
@@kevgotti5385 Not at all, I appreciate the comment, I realize now that I should have been a bit more clear that its nothing like the real thing, maybe some day I can make some for real somehow. But best of luck making the tepache!
Thanks for the video. Just bout 50 ounces of raw blue agave that was on clearance. I am an avid mead, wine and cider maker and I had a good idea of how to proceed with the agave but it is nice to have somebody with experience making pulque to set a baseline.
Hey, been a HB4L viewer from Brews & Vids days... Finally pulled the trigger on your channel after the last hoppy hour (RIP Brajcast)... look forward to more 👍
Quick question isn’t it dangerous to add the DAP while your yeast is still rehydrating? I heard people say this is bad but you seem to do it all the time and have really good results with it.
@@TheBruSho I trust you. I think I’ll stick with the combo you’ve been doing since it seems to work out pretty well for you. Thank you for the quick response btw.
I´m from colombia, here is a tradition of a fermented beverage made from corn, it is not really hard to make, you should try it! I´m new in this channel and everything is amazing!
Great Wayne’s world reference! If you pitch the yeast without a starter what are the trade offs? Great channel by the way. You’ve gotten me to finally try home brewing. I have my first cider ready to be bottled! Can’t wait to try your other ideas as well.
Hey thanks! I think if might work without a starter but the starter gives the yeast a kick start so it’s not shocked going into basically pure sugar water. And that’s awesome to hear! Glad to hear I could be some help. Let me know how your home brews turn out!
I heard of pulque in a BYO mag article a while back and have been thinking about trying it. (Agave wash does not produce very good tequila BTW) Does this have any characteristics of Tequila?
Yeah this recipe is a bit inspired by that article. As for comparison to tequila, I would say there is some minor similarities but really this reminded me more of sake than anything, which I found interesting
No you could totally drink it straight from bucket. I bottled them up to make room for another fermentation. The ones I bottled without priming sugar are great!
@@evelynmunoz4552 Tastes pretty much the same just has carbonation if you bottle condition. And I use corn sugar usually since it dissolves easily. You could use table sugar as well. I have a video on "Bottling vs Kegging" for more info!
Those cactus glasses are awesome, I gotta get us some of those! I wonder how many great products have been consigned to history because of smear campaigns? Makes you wonder. Great video.....but sorry about those Packers man 😉
Good job thanks for profiting off of our cultural traditions, I hope you are giving a large portion of the proceeds back to the communities from which you are “inspired” by
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? That is nothing similar to pulque. The pulque needs to be white, have viscosity, smell between rotten and a banana and the most important part: it tastes a litle bit sweet, alcoholic and acid. You did a totally different fermentation. (I am trying hard to produce pulque from the plant, so I have been reading several articles about it's production. Besides, I live in Mexico so I have access to the original product)
OMG! I hope people DON'T think this syrup drink is anything close to pulque. Pulque cannot be replicated, its like trying to replicate yogurt using yeast, flour and water... not even close. Pulque is a anciet beautiful nutricious drink that is much more than a drink, it is holly.
As stated in the video this is completely different from real pulque. I just found inspiration from learning about it and wanted to make something based on it. If anything I want people to be curious and search out the real thing
Sorry but This shouldn’t be call Pulque , or inspiration of it.Hope no one that really know what Pulque is sees your video 😂. They will be devastated! just seeing ur recipe . I can imaging how it taste , not even close. Please do not call this pulque (“ the drink of the Gods ) “ Pulque is full of mysticism , and hard to have because it’s alive and full of nutrition. Not close to this Sirup water .
Haha well I was still inspired by it to make this recipe. I know it’s not like the real thing as I stated in the video but my hope is that people watching will be interested to find the real deal
Mm, glad the culture vultures stir up. It would be nice if you would say the name of the beverage you just slapped across the face correctly man. Pulque, " POLE-QEH " for one and " Mez-CA-L " secondly, Americans always talk shit when foreigners don't pronounce English correctly yet, proceed to slaughter another. Mezcal and Pulque are Nahuatl words. The Nahua people's still make this beverage and it is still highly revered. If you're gonna " replicate " this process, make sure you're not one of these other " wise folk " who hate the same people who produce this beverage and share no true information. You say it's still not practiced, you're very wrong, the indigenous people who are LARGE in numbers still make this and it's still a important part of our lives. This is not just a drink. A'ho Ometeolt.
Doing the best with my American accent and limited resources I have. I simply was trying to inspire others to try something different. I stated that this wasn’t a replica and that it was a beverage inspired from it. And only stated it was not as popular as it once was, not that it isn’t practiced. My hope is that someone who has never even heard of Pulque would now be interested to seek it out in real life.

@@kevgotti5385 yeah me too. Tough to replicate at home unless you have a giant agave to naturally ferment the juices

My wife absolutely loved this… I keg it and had it on tap. She usually drank it on ice with a squeeze of lime. Mine came out at 6%. ❤❤
Great stuff. Great production value.
FIRST
Thanks man!!
Great great Video, the historical info was on point! Congrats! Cheers Trent 🍻🍻🤙🏼
Wow thanks glad I didn’t screw it up. Thanks for being my guide!
@@TheBruSho no worries man I definitely will have to try this 🤙🏼🍻
Viva Marquitos
@@carlosquijanovillanueva1982 vas a hacer pulque ?
@@Hellbrews con levadura de la hamaca del marquitos
This looks so unique yet super easy to make! 🌵🍻 Great video!
Thank you!!
I'm putting this on my list for a summer-time brew!
This would be perfect for a hot summer day!
Interesting beverage! Here in Chile we have uniques beverages like pisco and chicha (actually you can find them also in peru, most popular pisco sour)
Oh wow sounds cool, will look into those thank you!
"You can also enjoy this with a splash of tequila" - *pours in half a gallon of tequila*. I want to come to one of your BBQ's please.
Hahah you bring the tequila!
A reposado.
Thanks for the video. Just bout 50 ounces of raw blue agave that was on clearance. I am an avid mead, wine and cider maker and I had a good idea of how to proceed with the agave but it is nice to have somebody with experience making pulque to set a baseline.
Nice! Yeah this was fun to make but if you have any other good ideas let me know, always looking for something new to brew.
I drink Pulque in Puebla Mexico Everytime I go. There are MANY pulquerias in Mexico. Also more commonly are pulque carts that are pushed around town.
I found your channel via Brajcast. I'm think I'll make a 2.5 gallons batch of this and keg & carb it.
Awesome! And that’s a great idea. This would be really tasty with a bunch of bubbles! Send me a pic when it’s done!

Thanks for taking a chance and subscribing! Hopefully CH and I can do more collabs in the future.
Beautiful video ! You definitely piqued my interest😍
Thanks, yeah now I’m wondering what else can I ferment...
Quick question isn’t it dangerous to add the DAP while your yeast is still rehydrating? I heard people say this is bad but you seem to do it all the time and have really good results with it.
I’ve heard that but personally never experienced any issues. You could go for something like Fermaid O if you’re concerned
@@TheBruSho I trust you. I think I’ll stick with the combo you’ve been doing since it seems to work out pretty well for you. Thank you for the quick response btw.
Trent you should try making Makgeoli !
Does the DME used in the yeast started impart any flavour in the final product? Is there an alternative way to do this if so?
I´m from colombia, here is a tradition of a fermented beverage made from corn, it is not really hard to make, you should try it!
I´m new in this channel and everything is amazing!
Thank you! And that sounds interesting what’s it called?
Como se llama esa bebida? Es tejuino?
@@BrandiWL se llama chicha
@@manueljulianrodriguez1705 gracias!
@@manueljulianrodriguez1705 y la chicha se hace con la masa o con los granos frescos de maíz?
Which did you prefer in the end, the set without additional sugar for secondary fermentation, or the set with it?
Great Wayne’s world reference!
If you pitch the yeast without a starter what are the trade offs?

@@TheBruSho I will!
BEING MEXICAN AND HAVE TRIED PULQUE IN MEXICO LET ME SAY IT IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL LOL 😳😜😂😴💤💤
Can I drink this beverage after 10 days of fermentation, straight out of the bucket? Or...do I really need to bottle it up and wait two weeks?
No you could totally drink it straight from bucket. I bottled them up to make room for another fermentation. The ones I bottled without priming sugar are great!
@@TheBruSho does the beverage taste better if you add sugar? And is it regular or a special type of sugar?
@@evelynmunoz4552 Tastes pretty much the same just has carbonation if you bottle condition. And I use corn sugar usually since it dissolves easily. You could use table sugar as well. I have a video on "Bottling vs Kegging" for more info!
How long can it last in the refrigerator?
Pulque don’t last that long.
Those cactus glasses are awesome, I gotta get us some of those! I wonder how many great products have been consigned to history because of smear campaigns? Makes you wonder. Great video.....but sorry about those Packers man 😉
Haha I got them at the dollar store believe it or not! Thanks for watching and thanks for your sympathy for the Packers. Better luck next year!
First time I heard of this drink. Another one you may wish to try is spruce beer.
Ooh I need to look into this!
fffffin beer always ruining things!
Lol oh great here comes beer to make a mess of things...
You mean Maguey plant right
Need a little help ? Willing to try making it
Good job thanks for profiting off of our cultural traditions, I hope you are giving a large portion of the proceeds back to the communities from which you are “inspired” by
I wonder if my ginger bug would work with this?
Totally worth a shot. Not sure how far you could push the ABV but it might honestly get you closer to the real thing
I think you made new drink bro, you should call it Agave Beer.
That splash of skull tequila was a lot of tequila
Oops guess I like tequila!
Show the world how to make KVAS!
Would love to!
No added sugar please
You don’t have to add extra sugar!
Pulque is much thicker than this.
