What kind of hops did you use?

My wife likes your outlet covers. Thanks for ensuring my job security
You think if you used sorachi ace leaf hops it would have come out better? Was it just the taste that was off or did the pellets throw off the texture?
Yes, now my wife will be picking out similar outlet cover which I will have to install to maintain my usefulness around here. In all seriousness though she will probably put them on because she likes to fancy herself the handyman around the house, which actually she is. I'm in charge of the exterior.passedpawn said:Thanks.

My wife the chef made 'Beeramisu' for Christmas with my coffee stout. It was awesome, but then, she also made her own ladyfinger cookies for it too....
We use beer in just about everything when cooking. One of my favorites is my smoke roasted rosemary garlic chicken brined in IPA. There are a few good books out that deal with flavor matching beer to food recipes. The one that we seem to keep going back too is Garrett Olivers "The Brewmaster's Table".
I'm just putting a ham, spices and hefeweizen in a slow cooker and wonder if anyone has used a pressure cooker for a similar combination. I've never used a pressure cooker and wonder if it imparts more flavor to the ham or if it just reduces the time required.
In my experience with both, the pressure cooker reduces the time substantially.. Still, it's nice to put stuff in the crock pot in 5 minutes, turn it on and go to work/sleep, and when you get back, it's all done!
For woknblues, the Beeramisu recipe:I'd love to see the beeramisu recipe. Sounds great.

We used a simple coffee stout instead of Guinness, but anything in that range such as a nice milk stout or dry stout would work well. If you are handy with a pastry bag, you can also try making your own ladyfinger cookies.
Everyone that tasted it loved it, especially the non-beer drinkers
I use my oatmeal stout in my favorite chili recipe, blog post with both recipes here: http://bagendbrewery.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/oatmeal-stout-chili/

I make braised beef with saison
use hefeweizen instead of stock in risotto
belgian golden in chili
brown ale/pale ale/mild in beer cheese soup
brats boiled in anything
the possibilities are endless
I'm trying the Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter that would be yummy with your ham glaze. Especially in my bbq pit! The vanilla is on the back like oaking to me.
How did the hefe risotto come out?
Making rib sauce
Steak and ale pie with a good porter is pretty heavenly. After browning the steak and vegetables, add a bottle of porter (or just enough to cover the braise), a beef bullion cube, a bay leaf, some tomato paste and worcestershire sauce and simmer for 60-90 minutes. Top with a pastry crust and bake until golden.
Way better than I expected! I used a bottle in a pinch when I ran out of stock. Was the closest thing to chicken stock I had on hand. I use at least a half a bottle every time I make it now. Haven't tried substituting all the stock for hefe yet, but it might make an interesting experiment.
Mustard and ketchup based huh? Interesting.
Channel66 said:Not based no, just a tsp or so of each. With the beer brown sugar and worcester sauce you only get the acidity of the two.
I never make the same sauce twice though a touch of dijon and at the very least tomato puree are staples in most of my pork bbq sauces.
Ok gotcha. I assumed when I saw them. On a slightly different note, have you ever made white BBQ sauce? I've done it a couple times, goes good on chicken. Not sure if mayo and beer mix very well though.
maybe you could brush the chicken with a beer egg combo dredge with flour, Brown on the stove, finish with the white sauce in the oven? You wouldn't gain much from the beer though I don't think.
Can't say I'd try it on strangers but I'd make swmbo choke it down.
