This would be perfect to strap on the golf cart out on the links! They tend to frown on glass bottles.

Let me know how many we need, I can get to work harvesting.

Bout the same as a rabbit. They eat the same food, so ...

I smoked a groundhog a few years ago. Look up the recipe for whistlepig sandwiches. Pretty good on pizzas too. Tastes a bit like grass fed beef.

Paul, Where did you get the layout for your joints? I’m planning a small timber frame project, and am starting to look into the layout.

Duncan, This is the starter process I use with ale yeast. Sounds like I can do the same with lager yeast without adverse consequences. Just wanted to make sure as I always keep my ale starters within the specific yeast temp sweet spot. I will have to make a two stage starter to get enough cells...

Thank you for the responses. Of course I realize that yeast can be used well above their ideal temp range, but that can lead to some off flavors. So while it can theoretically be done, are there going to be flavor consequences of doing a 1000ml starter at a higher temp than is advised? Scrap...

I haven’t used this yeast before. I am making a lager. My question is when building the starter, do I need to temp control at lager temps, or can I make the starter at 68 degrees? Pros and cons of lager temp on the starter vs ale temps? Thanks

yo.

Yoop. Good on you! You writing books and me barely able to read them. Least we know where to go with our technical questions.

I’m in it to win it.

Relevant fact!

Does anyone know where I can find information about these presses? Made in McKeesport, pa. Looking for info on models and original color. Just picked one up, and want to restore it before using it. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it hold 28 gallons of spare water?
