I just got a $50 apple tree at Lowe's for $12.50, if I had more room I would have bought everything they had. I'm hoping one day to not have to pick my apples on public land while fighting blackberries to get them.

If you get it up and running I'd like to hear about it.

I got a 40# bag of deer corn at Walmart today for $5.00. Might go back for more if the "gredder" works out OK. Also picked up a 50# bag of barley at SS for $4.27 (8.54 cents/lb.).

Cousin got 15 bushels of pears for free. Gonna go help press some cider in exchange for 5 gallons. Gonna make perry. Any thoughts on what to do with the pulp?

[S-Cackalacky]

Pear grappa?

I picked up a 6 gallon glass carboy today for $10.00. Don't really need it, but couldn't pass it up for the price. Bought it at an antique shop of all places. The SOH and I were out thrift store shopping today and just happened into the antique shop. When you see "antiques" written anywhere on the building, you can usually count on paying top dollar.

Maybe I'll use it for a WPOSW. Make some neutral for a few liqueurs, or maybe Odin's easy gin.

[Halfbaked]

Bought a 2 tap Jockey box for beer that has a huge plate chiller for $40. Needs new hoses.

[jedneck]

7 gallons pear cider for free. Gonna hopefully press more tomorrow.

great deal there jedneck I'm still upset about losing that 5 gallon bucket of pears I let spoil and most pear trees around me lost all their blossoms in a spring storm and didn't produce many. I really wanted to do a pear brandy too, hopefully next year.

I cant pass them up when I find them either, My best was a 5 gal for $8 at St Vince but I'll give as much as $15 any day.
