A friendly place for friends who drink

[TheCADJockey]

This is what dreams are made of.

Our dreams are so much different. I like yours better.

 

[iijakii]

Damn, hope Wes doesnt get sideways beer neck.

 

[blizzard]

Well, I was planning to drink some waelz blood today, but crooked stave opened at 12 instead of 11 like I thought. Fail. I had some really disappointing hot chocolate instead. So yeah, still no beer pictures from me.

Very different from the first pic you had in this post. Sudden change of mood?

 

[WesleyS]

And now slaw is on the menu for tomorrow as well. Good call!

Slaw must always accompany smoked butts/pulled pork.
There's a killer recipe for coleslaw I make every time. I'll post it in a bit since I don't have it on my phone. Don't want to give you wrong measurements.

The original creeped me out. Didn't want to force that kind of sleepless night on myself. My mind is very impressionable. I'll allow it flying, horned, demon-cats over whatever that dark place was any day.

 

[BigPerm]

Very true. KC bbq kills TX.

Quite the rabblerouser today...

 

[Psylocide]

Quite the rabblerouser today...

Next he'll start talking up beer from Kansas like it's something special.

Well, you gotta start somewhere, I guess.

 

[Ridire]

Feign illness and meet your friend, that's easy.

No feigning necessary. I left. Friend was leaving as I was entering. Drinking a Rojo and smoking a Macanudo by myself.

Not much of a friend if he didn't stay.
Don't worry, we're here for you. Just don't blow smoke in my direction. "I ordered a Zima, not emphysema."

I'd rather have the latter.

Unless I had a pocket full of jolly ranchers.

Was definitely one of those beverages that lived life longer than it should have, just like Tequiza. My buddies and I always detected sort of a fruity pebbles aftertaste from Tequiza. Weird stuff.

Lunch time. Brash - Vulgar Display of Power.

Great beer and album. Getting some last minute packing done and heading to NOLA for the weekend (taking the teen to Comic-Con), so I needed some fresh hops (bottled 1/4).

Glad to see you all living lives of leisure. I gotta get that line buried before it freezes this weekend. Damn truckers keep running over it.

Lime Ginger Ale from one of them fancy soda machines.

 

[iijakii]

Puppy and I enjoying some Mild on the ol' lunch break.

Hooch > Zima

 

[Qhrumphf]

It's the weekend ye basterds.

Pale Mild. Grabbed 6ers of Yards Brawler, Port City Ways and Means, and a 4 pack of 3 Stars Citra Lemon Saison. May tap into em tonight, probably later this weekend.

 

[wobrien]

I would be down with that!



Back to on topic discussions here, for those with experience, how do you prefer to smoke a pork butt? Fat side up or down, and do you flip it at all during the smoke? Making my second one tomorrow and thinking fat down and no flip.

Didn't realize you're a noob too! Today is my second pork shoulder as well. I was told the same as everyone else has already told you, fat cap at the top, and leave it alone.

Hey. Smokers. Not to BUTT in, but the big steakhouse I worked at did it... fat on top, seasoned, liquid smoke, 24 hours.

 

[finsfan]

liquid smoke

Cheating. Reported.

 

[fuzzy2133]

I am curious what you all use for a mop?
I have tried a recipe that had vinegar, beer and bourbon with spices mixed together. Then compared it against straight apple juice and never could taste any difference between the 2.

OT water with panda express for lunch. Really wishing 4 would get here faster.

Why did they Need liquid smoke if they smoked it for 24 hrs? Or did they bake it?
I'm in for fat up and let to be.
Need a beer.

Cold flat Altbier I brewed on New Year's Day. Got this one kegging and on the gas.

Tastes promisingly good.

Exciting cleaning

Jesus

 

[Rhetorik]

I know people have seen Jesus in toast and mayonnaise, but I don't see Jesus on that arse.
