wheat for bread? Have you LOST your MIND?

or forgotten what website you are posting to?

that's next year's weizenbier going in the ground

The amount of wheat that ends up in beer is a rounding error compared to barley. There are dozens of barley varieties which have been developed specifically for malting; there are exactly zero malting wheat varieties. It appears that maltsters use whatever is available locally to produce what little malted wheat is needed to meet the demand. I’m not under the illusion that any of our wheat ends up in beer.

Is that what they call whore frost? Got any whores up there?

The old timers used to talk about a guy who owned a bar in these parts, years ago, who tried to start a whorehouse. According to the story, he couldn’t convince any girls to live this far out in the weeds, so he ended up running the business by hand.

 

[balrog]

Oh, but it so totally *COULD*.

I know I've been in some bar or brewery that's done this, but the pic isn't mine. I make it a point to not take any pics in the men's room.

Im glad this only happens every 17 years, and I think my maple trees agree.

 

[balrog]

JFC! KILL THEM WITH FIRE!! At least keep them in PA.

That's like a bad horror movie right there.

Especially if you're a tree.

Gordon describes the taste of cicadas as akin to asparagus. University of Maryland entomologist Mike Raupp goes further: "They have a buttery texture, a delicious, nutty flavor, probably from the tannins, from the roots of the trees on which they fed," Raupp said. "And they're going to be really good with a Merlot."

I used to grow potatoes in 25gal plastic pots, plants did well, but yeild was not the best. Then I read that container growing potatoes sometimes does not yeald as much because warm soil temps lead to less potatoes and more greenery. Wondering if you've had better results.

Hahahaha!

In August 2019 was in Alabama doing a few repairs on the MIL house with a friend of mine from Oregon. There was a few cicadas screaming, nothing like peak cicadas seasons, he had no clue what the sound was, and as someone who grew up in south Georgia, I was very familiar with the sound, so i told him it was the Alabama tree snake, and he believed me since I kept warning him about the south's bugs and snakes..My MIL could not stop laughing.

 

[Rodent]

I moved to AL from WA decades ago and experienced "that screaming in the trees" for the first time that year. I asked a neighbor what that racket was (Aliens?) and he said he didn't hear anything. I mimicked the sound and he started laughing hysterically, then said he'd heard that all his life an never thought it wasn't "normal everywhere"

funny now, but it was a borderline terrifying first hour of first aural contact

It’s a hobby. Some years the squirrels won. Some years I get 1 family serving from 2 buckets. It’s fun and like brewing I’m not doing it to save money. Not that I’d mind, I just have no delusions about it. Ok, not many delusions.

And he chose the urinal where she has to lean way in and look over her glasses to see it.

 

[balrog]

so I finally start brewing again and a freaking mouse builds a freaking nest in my rolled up reflectrix in the garage. I go through it out, and discover it weren't a mouse. As Shepherd Book said, I'm going to a special Hell now, reserved for people who talk in the theater and destroy nests. This was in the nest.

 

[soccerdad]

Man your hands look like something out of a horror movie.

 

[day_trippr]

hahaha! I did have that thought at first

 

[balrog]

gloves, dudes, gloves.
Homey don't touch mouse nest (or Carolina Wren nest as the case may be) bare handed.

There’s a bar in Avon, CO where the men’s room is around the wall on the back side of the bar. It has an older style trough urinal the whole length of the wall. When you’re standing there getting rid of your beer, you are looking through a one-way mirror back into the bar. I’ve often wondered if the bartender has a switch to deactivate the mirror so all the bar patrons can see.
