Haha, i haven't had a regular beer since i got it. Wb gose with grapefruit and cascade didnt work out too good. I think the salt and grapefruit didn't go well together. Not terrible but not an improvement

Thats stuffed!!!!! You need something sweet to compliment the salty finish of the gose! I love salted caramel...i wonder :drunk:
 
Poor mans prop. 1/2 the bottle with coconut, the other half with coconut and coffee. If you can't get a prop, this is a pretty good fill-in

I think we may have enough to skirt around the country, but would still like to see more from the south west and middle states. Not sure of the shipping time from MN to WA, probably two to three days?

Also, we are getting a bunch of repeat states. I want to see everybody get in on this box, but unless we start shipping interstate or back and forth in certain areas, please be patient. With the repeat states, I think if we found other bordering states with some participants we can bounce it around. IE NY to CT to PA to NY to wherever. WA to CA to AZ back to CA to somewhere, etc. Or we can just keep passing it around. The recipient is entirely up to the sender.
 
Hey Jason, did you throw blueberry donuts and jerky in that thing yet?

I can rep Ohio with some fun local shtuff.

LOL those were all gone within fifteen minutes after opening the box. Those donuts were top notch! I just got the Randalls in last week. One for the thread and one for me :) I'll get you added to the listings.
 
This might be a dumb question :confused: but with the randall how long do you let it steep with your mix and do you lose a lot of carbonation?
 
You would definitely want to filter it. You unscrew the green cap only, the white cap includes a metal screen to filter out the floaties.
The carb holds in pretty well if you seal it tight. The only instance were I lost ALL carb was with coconut and BCBS and with cake frosting. The oils from said product killed all the head and the carb.
Depending on how strong of a flavor you want, anywhere between five and 20 minutes. At 20 you are pushing the carb to its limit, the magic spot is around 10-12 minutes I think.
Also, as a note, when pouring the beer into the randall, go slow so you keep as much of the carb as possible. If you go in with an aggressive pour you will lose more.
 
Anyway we could keep a running list of what combos have been randall-ed and how they came out?

In the initial box is a green folder with the start of an HBT recipe book. Its the senders job to add a page to the book with whatever recipe's they want their recipient to try. The recipient can check out what has been done before, but their assignment should be the last page.
Maybe the person trying the recipe out can give it a grade of A+ to F written on the pages so we can really get a barometer of how good of a mix it is.
Any votes for Yay or Nay on that?
