I'll have to research that one. I am planning on adapting a chocolate wine, and a buttered beere both based on 17th century recipes

I think this is a tricky subject. substance abuse aside. as you indicated, you were making more money than your teacher as a kid mowing lawns. Many skilled trades that most people look down on can make for a very comfortable and successful life. I always get a chuckle out of this meme: I...

I've been perusing historic alcoholic beverage recipes recently that have piqued my interest, and have been thinking about trying one or two. However, many of them make use of ingredients like cream, butter, and even egg, and i would be concerned about how sanitary the end product would be...

The water/fruit juice isn't technically true. Many wines, especially historically, did/do not add water. The definitive definition of a cider is that they technically can only be produced from the juice of pome fruits (Apples, pears, quince, loquat, etc). You can make apple cider or Apple...

I was wondering if any of you could share any good, reliable chocolate wine recipes? However, I'd like to avoid any recipes that call for milk,eggs, corn starch or syrups like Hershey's.

I just paid to become a member of the Mead Made Right website to access their recipe archives, but when i try to log in, it says "access denied." I tried emailing the people who run it, but do not get a response. does anyone know how to get in touch with the people who run their site?

can you recommend a specific model and setup?

I'm looking into getting a growler werks 128 ounce ukeg system. I Was wondering if any of you are familiar with it, and if so, would you recommend it,or a different product? Are the co2 cartridges proprietary like some other people's products,or can they be acquired elsewhere?

Did you use Dried flowers? Have you sampled and gotten any of that vegetal taste on the backend? My liqeuer is almost as dark as a soda, even after filtering twice I ended up getting mine from a new place because shipping times from mountain rose (at the time) were heavily backlogged due to...

I was wondering if any of you have tried your hand at making xtabentún? A Yucatan liqueur/mead made with honey, anise and fortified with rum?

I just finished an elderflower mead,and used the extra elderflower to make liqueur. Note that this has been my first and only time using dried elderflower, but In my opinion, one thing I am not happy with is that it leaves a noticeable vegetal taste on the back end. I don't know if this is a...

Maybe I'll have to give it another try. In the past, it would shrivel up as soon as we broke 100. Maybe need to amend the soil to retain water better

I'm in tucson and it died on me really quickly.couldn't take the summer heat even with shade for the afternoon

depends on where you live...won't grow very well here

I'm planning on doing an experimental fermented root beer (high alcohol content...not just for carbonation sake) and am in the process of finalizing my recipe. I think I'm 99% there but wanted some feedback before I pull the trigger. I want to go Very "old school"...natural, original...

Maybe dumb question... Why cream of tartar?

Yes, a 5'3" person at 200 should worry - 6'3" person... not so much. I used to cycle before I got into weightlifting. My energy was through the roof. Could go for a 15 mile bike ride then go swing a pick axe for 4 hours. After getting hit by a car not once but twice, I transitioned out of...

one misconception is how many carbs are really in beer. most people are surprised that even heavy beers like stouts are only about 10 carbs +/- per 12 oz. A flour tortilla has 3 times that! 2-3 beers on the weekend isn't a big deal

There has been several recent studies that show there's nothing wrong with msg. I am more opposed to ingredients like corn syrup and starch

Was wondering if any of you could recommend a good country breakfast sausage recipe? Something with a similar flavor to Jimmy Dean minus all the nasty ingredients I've tried every reliable source I can find on the web, including Len Poli's recipe, but they all seem so bland and tasteless.
