    Is Christmas Spoiled??? Please help!

    I would roast it up to an internal temp of about 175 and Eat it. I have been in kitchens 10 years now and I promise if you eat out often you have consumed worse. Not guaranteeing anything, but if it hit 175 internal I would be more than happy to eat it.

    Turkey Getting Smoked tomorrow

    What did you brine in? Apple juice I'd my preferred liquid for poultry. Then the standard salt, sugar ( always brown ), bay leaf, pepper corns, and herbs. I wonder how a nice mild hop would be in with it?!?

    Raw Honey

    I have made sorbet before and to get the a nice creamy texture you have to have just enough sugar in your syrup. You float a whole egg in the shell to see how much of it pokes out of the top of the syrup. It is just like a hydrometer reading but a bit more primitive. Maybe that's what you mean...

    Wet shaving thread.

    Ya I get a nice size bottle for about $4 and use it on my Lobes daily (I have them stretched to 38mm) and I rub my head down with it before I shave, after I shower. It's cheap, good for the skin and helps that razor guide nice and easy...

    Wet shaving thread.

    I hate shaving my face but Love shaving my head! Last summer I made the switch to wet shaving with a 60's Gillette safety razor. Seriously cut back on razor burn and neck irritation! My Wife hooks me up and keeps my head smooth and the safety razor with a fresh double edge blade is as good as it...

    Spiced Cranberry Wine?

    I have a mead going now that I just dumped a batch of spices into. I have read with mead that it works well adding the spices after primary fermentation so it doesn't blow off too much of the flavor. I have also read accounts of people doing the same with beer. Don't see why it wouldn't work...

    Cherry Wood Chips?

    My Dad cut down a Huge cherry tree last year. I have used the wood to smoke pork and beef. I am wondering if I could put a light toast on some chunks of cherry wood and throw it in the secondary with a red wine I have going now. I searched the forums and the web and all I can find is info on...

    Tips for removing labels and that sticky glue?

    Soak in hot water and baking soda for an hour or so and the labels will slide right off. The glue will usually come off with a dish towel if the water is still warm. I just did a batch of 70 bottles in my tub. Turned out nice and clean and baking soda is cheap so I dumped in an entire box.
