  1. Five days has never made good malwa. Am from teso and we all know that this is where it originally come from and it's called ajona.. I have better techniques from my great grandma.. So I will explain briefly.. The fermentation has to be 2 weeks don't just use banana leaves, use plastic wrap or sacks to raise heat. The millet has to be fermented to the extend of roting but not rotten. Almost rotten that way, you can get drunk even with the raw smell from opening the whole… Oba u get? Then immediately prepare the kimera for 7 days until its overgrown. Pour water open let the heat go out and pour water wrap and cover 7 days repeating watering each evening after the sun sets. Let me know if u get.. Okay so after frying it dries until the malwa is very hard it can take 4 days.. In the same way, even the kimera is over grown and Yellow roots are like fully grown hair. If not, keep watering and keeping for days.. After that, go ahead and dry it.. Totally dry.. Grind and measure. Each bucket of 2ltrs with 2 liters of ground kimera.. Repeat for 2 days, after day one, it's sweet even a child can enjoy.. But after 30 hours, it starts to becomes alcohol and after 42 hours, your slain but after 62 hours, it's beyond hot… This is not chwette, this is ajono..on the filters, we used to add a basket like filter first before we cut strainers and and ontop as the second filter. So if you add the strainer filter only like she did, it blocks while you drink. So you need to weave some basket like filters and and cut into small pieces… Then buy abusengeja and cut out the filters..and the covering, you need plastics not lids so that the malwa can rise as the yeast fermants it.. That way, it's hot tasty and you get extremely drunk… Eish I've spoken too much, I hope my method helps someone make much sour malwa..

  2. Alcohol is bad . Uganda has a lot of problems with alcoholism. Alcohol broke family is bad for human . One mathers do alcohol for sale support own family and they don't care for other mathers and children . Bad bad bad .

  3. Thanks King another informative video and I do hsve a new understanding and appreciation for Millett Beer 🍺 and the grain itself @@ I hope you know that this style of beer is almost non existent in the 🇺🇸 USA@@ infact Millett is used in animal feed here in the US amongst other things@ ✌️ peace

  4. Please help make us a video.how to make esusuti sauce..malewa sauce and lastly but not least the mugunyu oba mugoyo one from sweetpotatoes and beans.. It is mostly well prepared by the bagishu people. They add something like salt rock but about different.. That salt locally known as ekisula in baganda and mukabilizi in lugishu. Bagishu make mukabilizi from banana peelings so they don't use the rockysalt kisula… The banana peelings kisula is so heavilly filled with the irons needed to make esusuti.. I have forgotten a little bit how to make it since it is almost 7years since mother died. She was from Mbale. She was a gishu lady. RIP mother. Please make that video for us.

  5. I remember eating this miller after being roasted and placed under the sun to dry. It it is so nice after being roasted ,you add steamingnhotwater to it and sugar after eating it hmm yummy… It was my favourite at Nsambya. I would always be happy whenever those Iteso lady's were preparing malwa. There is also another malwa brewed from maize flour. It is mostly done by the Bagishu people.
    Thanks for reviewing my memories.

  6. Nicholas, you asked a question that has been on my mind for some time. How did the ancient ancestors come up with these variety of methods of doing such things, where did their knowledge come from. I watched this process for the first time. In my mind I am thinking you must be beyond restless, having to wait for five whole days before being able to enjoy the final product. I trust it didn't get you too intoxicated.

  7. Amarwa or Kwanjono!! This drink became very big in Buganda especially in Mukono. At one time it was big in Kamwokya!! Good seeing the entire process. Problem with the people who drink this type of alcohol, spend the entire day drinking. 😖😱😳🤯🤭
