What is wrong with me?

SMASH - Squid Cascade - Pale Extract - Blonde Ale

Hops
====================================
Cascade 6.0% 0.250 oz First Wort 60.000 min Pellet 22.3
Cascade 6.0% 0.250 oz Aroma 5.000 min Pellet 0.0

I don't see Cascade being complimentary to squid ink at all. Maybe Northdown?

When I, rarely, make punch at home I have been using the Alton Brown trick of filling a balloon with water, freezing it, and taking the balloon off the ice "egg"

Have you ever tasted the inside of a balloon?

When I was a little boy I asked my parents if there was anything we eat that was not alive at some point. My father was able to come up with "salt." I bawled my eyes out.

Maybe it is more ethical to eat a pepper than a cow, but its sobering to think that both were alive, and now are not, because of us.

Squid Ink Flavor Boil 1.000 oz 5.000 min

I would substitute crocodile for the cascade adding a 20 min addition of. gator tongue for flavoring and dry croc after 2 weeks for 5 to 7 days. Maybe up the squid ink to 1.5oz if you decide to dry croc. :)
 
Yknow what... if you are going to use squid ink...

Follow me here. What goes with fish and seafood in general? A spritz of lemon. So, instead of cascade, what if you used citra or centennial?
 
Oh damn you CG. Now I need to make a Citra SMASH so half can be squid inked. That means I need to make a Cascade SMASH later and I need to buy Citra.

Sometimes I hate you and your good ideas.

Do you think the ink would distribute evenly in the solution or do you think you would have streamers of ink like a lava lamp?

I hereby consent... nay, REQUEST THE RIGHT TO sample a bottle of this when it is done. I'll do a video and everything.

It should be accompanied by one of these.

I think I'll do something productive. Like play some of this.

Cool! My eldest son has started playing the FF saga, starting with one. They are all available on the Playstation Network.

I loved those when I was younger. Hmm, makes me want to pull the ps2 out and play some FFX.

I remember getting so stumped on that one, and finally just wandering around the world until I forgot what I was supposed to be looking for. I could have really used Google then.
