    Need Sausage Gravy Recipe

    oh yea! Nowadays Biscuits and gravy are at every restaurant. I can make good gravy but I am still working out my biscuit recipe. I like them soft and mine don't rise enough, not like the ones in the refrigerator section.

    I think it was a great movie and would love to see it again. I am amazed that it cost so much to make the movie. I thought that they wouldn't make their money back so fast but they almost have by now already. I prefer to go to the matinee because it's about 1/2 price. Popcorn is just about...

    Technique to Dumping Yeast out of Conical Bottom?

    try using a wide enough clear tube connected to it where you can control the flow better with it but open the conical all the way.

    I freakin' LOVE BREWING!

    and it makes good christmas presents. The beer you make is much better than what you usually can find in the store. and is cheaper.

    best rub for Christmas turkey

    another thing you can do is cook it breast side down for half of the cook time and your white meat won't be as dry. Although I have not done that on a grill, I have done it in the oven many times and the white meat is always tender. Just remember to flip it to brown the white meat too. I...

    Strawberry Wine: Batch #23

    after 7 days it says after removing fruit and straining, it says to rack to secondary on the camden tablets. From my understanding, camden tablets make an unfriendly environment for yeast and you do that when you want to stop/slow fermenting. Is that what the intention is here? To stop...

    Going for a new phone soon, maybe new carrier, what do you like?

    I think for coverage, Verizon is the one to go with. Especially if you are going to do any traveling. I travel often and all over the place and always have a signal. I have 5 phones on my family plan, unlimited texting and the 1400 anytime shared minute plan with the 10 favorites or calling...

    Christmas in a Box...

    Tell them that you don't think that you should have to pay for it and that you will continue to order from them in the future, but you didn't order it and shouldn't be obligated to box it up and send it to them. Send a copy and paste of that legalize that jbambuti posted with your response and...

    First Batch of Mead

    I know it's been only a weekish, but I am curious how this is coming along and if you decided to use oak or not. I have made many meads and I have always read to never boil your honey but this case, I think, is the exception to the rule.

    Thinking of making a wine...first time.

    I've seen and made wine from 3 gallon kits and 6 gallon kits. You can use a 6.5 gallon no problem. They don't foam up as bad as beer does. I also used a 3 gallon glass carboy with the 3 gallon wine kit. Wine kits are great and make really good tasting wine. I have found the expensive...

    Strawberry Wine: Batch #23

    Anybody try oaking the wine with oak chips? this sounds so good, I may try a 1 gal batch myself to see if I like strawberry wine. I don't believe I have ever tried that flavor.

    Howdy all.

    brew a batch yourself, I bet you like it. It's not like you won't have a problem getting rid of it.
