Interesting. What are the variations?
African or European swallow?What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
What is your favorite color?
Hey TN, what's this about opening a brewery?
Now, for a random picture of a cat.
Awesome! Good luck to you in your new business venture.Going to try and get a nano and tasting room open by mid 2014. Won't be anymore work than when I was kiling myelf to do 6 markets a week and should be more profitable. Numbers look good, working on business plan and then the all important financing. Although the longer the govt sits there pouting, the longer it will take for paperwork back log to clear. Hopefully they start acting like grown folks well before I need to file with TTB.
I think that homebrew batch was infected.
Brewing a Pumpkin Ale tomorrow. I think I'm going to split off a gallon and add serranos to it. Kick it up a touch.
That may be the most disgusting beer idea I've ever heard. Throw some smoke malt in there, sour mash, and ferment with 3711 and it couldn't be worse.
Needs anchovies.
Literally laughed out loud there. My eyes watered a little even. Bacon would be a more traditional choice for ruining a beer.

Lol, Im not adding peppers to a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin, like spaghetti squash, has little flavor. I can split the batch and control the spices, if any. I may go 3 tradition with spices, 1 gallon pepper no pumpkin spices, 1 gallon pepper with pumpkin, and 3 held back for a late addition hop, no pumpkin spice.
1 gallon isn't much of a risk. .

In case you couldn't guess, I hate pumpkin beers, but it is because of the spices. I have to ask, why use an ingredient you won't be able to taste? Especiallty one with a reputation for sticking the mash. Funny you mention spaghetti squash, just pulled one out of the oven. Need to get a heavy cleaver at the asian market before I finally stab and/or slice myself with a chefs knife cutting one of those buggers open.
like the spaghetti squash, we grew them. Have a couple for jack-o-lanterns. So, just to use them and last years was tasty. I go light on the spices.
Also, i use biab so sticky mash is not a problem. We have eggplants growing now. Never tried it, but i'll probably mash some too. (dont know what they are actually used for other than soup).
I can't say I can remember ever having eggplant. Apparently it can be used in a few recipes though.Like the spaghetti squash, we grew them. Have a couple for jack-o-lanterns. So, just to use them and last years was tasty. I go light on the spices.

I generally don't like cleavers from Asia. They usually have blades that are kinda thin, IMO, for a cleaver. If you are really using them they sometimes flex at the wrong time. I like a heavier spined blade.

Butternut squash is often used by chefs for a better, more flavorful pumpkin character. I joke that it tastes more like pumpkin than even pumpkin itself does. I hear it also works perfectly for beer as well.
I agree. Almost all my kitchen knives are Japanese (eg Shun Elites), but a heavy German cleaver is an absolute must if you want a knife for that kind of job. Shuns are great but you definitely don't want to be ruining such fantastic knives on frozen blocks of foods, bones, etc.

Sounds tasty. It's been a while since I've had a decent Pad Thai.TNGabe said:The market I'm getting one from has cleavers that are about 1/4" thick or more on the spine. The big ones weigh a couple pounds, perfect for taking off a hogs foot, so I'm thinking squash won't be a problem. They also have giant woks for cheap. Want one of those to use on my homebrew burner. Will make making Pad Thai so muche easier!
Do you drink Dos Equis by chance?TNGabe said:Canned pumpkin isn't pumpkin, it's a squash similar to butternut. But I agree, if I made a pumpkin beer or pie, not that I would, but if I did I'd use butternut.
Don't dry hop with turtle. Dry hop with crocodile, much better flavor. :fro:LabRatBrewer said:From our little garden this year I've used for brewing: hops, peppers, squash, pumpkins, coriander, apples, oranges, lemons, and carrots. We have a rock turtle out there that does not like the way I look at him.

I just watched a documentary called "Terms And Conditions May Apply". It's definitely worth a watch. It makes me very glad that, with the exception of forums where I assume all the data is public anyway, I don't use social networking services.
To the NSA, or any other alphabet soup that wants to monitor my data, why don't you have a big glass of shiong mao niao.
