I haven't done this, but I figured this idea would be of some interest to the homebrew/meat smoking community. :D Southern engineers unite!:rockin: I am currently researching this idea for a 2 drawer filing cabinet of mine. Not sure if my wife appreciates this as much as I do. lol I thought i...

Ok, so for grins and giggles I started out with making the simple cheese = Hot milk + vinegar and have been making good white cheese. It lacks in flavor of course but you've got to start somewhere in my opinion. This is the basic recipe site: Quick Homemade Cheese Recipe The other day I...

Thought I would share this and see where it goes (How about a pickling sub-category?? It's called fermenting. :cross: ) I have been interested in lacto pickles for some time now and just getting started. I saw other threads about pickling (vinegar and brine) so it is great this could be an...

Ok, I am resisting a serious urge to pick this hobby up as well. I tend to collect hobbies. I am really fond of smoked cheeses (cheddar, provologne, etc). Has anyone tried to traditionally smoke a cheese or add smoke flavoring to the curds/milk? must resist temptation... :)

Thought I would pass on my experience, since I am guessing that more of us on here are reluctant to pass on problems or mistakes. I think of mistakes as the path stones to success. I brewed up the London Porter from Austin Homebrew on 12/23. I decided to split the batch: 2.5 gals...
