Barbecuing some memphis-rubbed country ribs on cottonwood. Rice pilaf heating up in some sauce. All's well today so far!...

Help Support Homebrew Talk:
Memphis style ribs use a mildly spiced rub with brown sugar in it. I let it soak up meat juices on the ribs to melt the sugar/spice mixture into the meat, then into the pit for some 3 hours.
The rice pilaf consisted of bell pepper, red & white onion, & celery sauteed, then 2C of white long grain rice with 2C chicken stock, & 2C beef stock. When done, mixed with this mojito something or other sauce from chicken thighs in crock pot to make a sort of risotto. Had some roasted fresh corn with it too.

Good Sunday morning everyone. Here in Western NY it is dawning warm, 68*, and cloudy. The weatherman claims that it may or may not rain. That helps a lot, thanks Mr. Weatherman.
I'd like to start my morning with a good breakfast of sausage gravy and biscuts. However, I have an insurance health check late this morning.
Really, Sunday morning.
I have one pine tree cut down and seven more that are dead or dying and need to go. I'll spend the morning cleaning up the mess I have already made and get ready to make a bigger mess. Then I hope to spend the afternoon with my Daughter, Son in Law and grandson.
My nephew called this week and asked if we could brew another batch of IPA. I guess the last one was a big hit with his college buddies and he would like to brew a couple more batches with me before he starts his own home home brewing career. We brewed an all grain IPA last time, but I think I'll brew an extract batch with him to show him that you don't need the huge pile of equipment that I have to make a quality home brew.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

This morning finds me sipping some coffee, listening to some Sinatra, (Come Dance With Me - 1961), and wondering what I feel like doing today. Since I can't come up with anything, I think I'll make it a beer-centered day.
I have a couple beers that need transferred to secondary, some barleywines that need blending and bottling, an IPA that needs kegged, and have a pale ale to brew. I know I won't get all of them done, but it gives me a nice pool of things to chose from today.
I wish you all a beautiful Sunday.

Heading out to lake Tawakoni today with the fam (east of Dallas area, but bot not quite E. Tx), to visit the in-laws. Sunny and mid 80's. I foresee smoked meat and beer in my near future. Enjoy the day, everyone!

The yeast in the jar was harvested in early April. Hopefully there's still enough healthy yeast for the starter.
Our youngest son Graduated high school/LCJVS yesterday at the restored old Palace Theater in Lorain. Made a little slideshow video with some history too...gotta wait for photobucket to process it...

It's a cool and foggy morning here on California's central coast. The whole family is a bit slow in waking up today as we were out at a music festival all day yesterday. Got the coffee brewed and breakfast in the oven. Have a busy day for the home brewery...
Then I get to fire up the grill to cook up some BBQ chicken, brats, and corn on the cob for dinner. We'll see if there's any energy left after that for the wife and I to catch up on some of our shows on Netflix, or if we'll just do the usual thing and listen to the radio for a bit before falling asleep.
Hope everyone enjoys their Sundays!
- Have an oak-aged Acerglyn that I need to keg
- Also have a hard kombucha kriek that needs kegged
- I have a mango apricot cider that is ready to be cold crashed
- Then I've got another cider that I need to dry hop with Citra and Simcoe
- I have a sour blonde that needs to be racked off onto some oak
- Then I'm brewing a sour red that is going in the same fermenter that was used for the blonde (re-using the yeast cake)
- Lastly I've got 3-4 recipes that are scribbled across a few different note books that I need to get into Google docs

Well, the video fits the rules for photobucket, it just won't finish reviewing or whatever? So I'll try it from facebook? *I even got nailed on YouTube for pomp & circumstance from Fiedler & RCA! Every song that's free isn't when it comes to my " The Driver's Eye" vids? I'm not letting someone else monetize my videos when I'm not making a dime of them!

Letting my Sunday brunch digest a bit before heading to the gym. It's overcast and I just heard a downpour, could be a good day to bottle a Belgian special that's done.

Hot as hell today. Going to sit on my air conditioner all day and think cool thoughts.

Beautiful sunny,breezy day. Did some garden and yard work this morning. Next I will uncork several chilled bottles of wine. This is so I can let them warm up and freakin' de-fizz! Last night I went into the cool storage room to check on the fermenting brews, looked down and saw a cork on the floor at my feet. Bad omen. Sure enough, one of my apple wines decided to become carbed and spewed its contents, shooting the cork about 10 feet. Checked my notes, it was down to 1.000 for several days when I bottled. Fortunately there were only four corked bottles of that. Yeesh.

Took the a-holes (dogs) for a long walk - they've been sleeping ever since. Did a single step infusion on the Picobrew to finish off the Gose I've had souring and boiled the two together - first 5 gallon batch I've done since.... 2010? Set the picobrew off on an attempt at an Art of Darkness clone. Currently pasteurizing a Berliner Weisse (both the Gose and the Weisse are made with WLP 672 Lactobacillus Brevis) and I just ordered enough extract to make 3x3 more batches. Discovered my CO2 Distribution block has a stripped fitting (it got wet and I noticed it was leaking - wonder how much CO2 I lost...) and I doubt that our shop has NPT helicoils - fingers crossed though.
Got some cleaning to do. Need to figure out how to pasturize the 3-gallon kegs that I had the sours in.

Sunday morning sunny and warm... Watered the hops and container gardens, cooked up a yummy veggie omelet, and getting ready to visit a small boutique farm here on Long Island for a strawberry festival. I trust your day is shaping up nicely as well.

Was intending to brew today. Grains milled and hops weighed last night, but the wind is just hard enough to make things difficult, so my brewday plans have now become packaging-day plans. Blending, bottling and kegging are now the main plan for today.
It is beautiful outside, though. Maybe I'll enjoy some of that later. I hope you all can, too.

Found a recipe for "Swineapple" so I figured I'd give it a shot. I found it odd that the recipe called for 4 hours at 375F, but in it went.
2 hours later, the internal temp of the pork I used is 87C, which is about 15 degrees higher than necessary. The bacon that was wrapped around the pineapple is disintegrating. (oddly, not burnt and black, just....disappearing) So I turned the heat down to 150F to keep it warm while waiting for dinner time. In about an hour I'll prepare some smashers (mashed potato with bacon bits and shredded cheese), and also some bacon gravy for the whole shebang.
Heart attack on a plate, but it should be tasty

Pork, plus extra bacon, potatoes, cheese, and more bacon, and some yummy pineapple, too? You, sir, win the Sunday thread.
It was very much a hit, with two minor complaints: The bacon was gone, and the BBQ sauce that was on the bacon is now a liquified greasy mess at the bottom of the pan. Next time I"ll put the sauce IN with the pork tenderloin. So no bacon, and no BBQ flavour.
The bacon gravy did the job, though.

Whereabouts on the island? I'll be back down to the north fork again in the beginning of August. We'll hit up many of the local farms for fresh produce and wine when we're down visiting.
Had a day full of family time today. Watching the kids swim, then had family over for a nice steak dinner. Can't ask for a better Sunday!
My computer's hard drive finally went Saturday morning. Spent time trying to fix it till today with Gateway disc & Windows 7 repair disc. Nada, zippo, zilch...it's fubared. Sharon & our middle son off to Best Buy to get me a new all-in-one! Cool throw-back to the old days when we used to out-do each other on gifts. I just hope my programs I saved on external drive will work on windows 10 new one?
WOndering how this went...?
I love my iMac Core i7 27"
BUT I also love Windows 10 on my Core i5.
I'm the kind of guy that needs it all. iPads, Android tablets, etc. So I'm just curious how your migration goes so I might lean one way or the other.
Well, instead, they got me an HP Pavilion with Windows 10 1511 (newest build), 6th gen i3 quad core @ 2GHz, 1T hard drive, card slots, USB ports front & back, & a 23" HD+ monitor. that makes it way easier for me to see everything on the screen, even sitting back in my coil-sprung Serta leather Executive chair. The external 2T WD drive has the USB cable color-coded blue, which is USB 3.0. Way faster in this computer, which uses both USB 2.0 & 3.0! Files transferred completely, but it took some doing to learn Wn10 to get them all in place & working. I had to click on the start menu, then " File Explorer" to get to documents, pictures, etc. It even displays the external drive stuff in the left-hand column. But the drive, memory stick, etc still has to be plugged in to access them. Like visual place holders? Finally got Beersmith recipes reinstalled yesterday. Got my codes back to sign in to BS's cloud to get them back. I still have my external files in document folder to mess with.
I uncovered a new thrill in Paint.net on a new book cover for the one from June that didn't get saved to external back up. Wow, this new cover is clearly my best art effort yet! I drew this 800 X 1000 pixel picture, sort of a psychedelic Picasso kind of thing. Sunflower yellow background, with red & fluorescent green wiggly lines in a sunburst pattern. A free-form design in red, amber-orange & ice blue in the center. Some CBS-style eyes in vertical & horizontal around that, it red, green & ice blue around that, the colored lines sowing through. Then I started playing around with different effects, playing with the sliders. Then, I came to Julia Fractal,...& got this!...
Sort of like if, you could see how the neurons & synapses in the brain bring thoughts & images together during REM sleep...what would it look like? This one is mainstream, but still in my inimitable style. iow, a normal romance novel, but from the male point of view. Went through a lot of crap versions, some 3-4 books worth, to get to this one. It'll be good, I think? Nobody writes these from the man's point of view?

I was going to bottle a chocolate vanilla stout this morning, but I got called in to work to set up Algonquin College's convocation over at the Canadian Tire Center, so I went and did the bottling last night.
So my plans this morning? Drive a 5 ton truck that feels like it might be too heavy (who needs that many books for a convocation?) and go set up at the college where I didn't even attend my OWN graduation.
