Re: anyone into cheesemaking ?

Re: Deathwish Wheat germ recipe
Hi, Pint, Yes indeed did several side by sides, 3 i think. I found very little difference in flavor, though i kinda thought I liked the toasted better. May have been prejudiced by the fact that the untoasted, organic was way harder to filter, much more gummy at the end. I fermented both on the grain...

Re: ok
We're almost state licensed. Fingers crossed here. A Proof Gallon is one U.S. gallon at 100 proof (50% ABV). This is how the Feds tax alcohol. It's different for each State. UJ, That seems to me to be as wrong as the tripple taxation to begin with. How can the Feds justify taxing a different state ...

Sorry folks, but I guess I am going to butt in again. Even white oak, properly steam kiln dried- vs air dried for a good while and then just a quicky of a kilning, is about like boiling it. That method, and the newer method or a vacuum, high frequency magnetic wave, simular to a microwave, takes fro...

Husker, Liveing in the mountains here, I have been collecting the Foxfire books since they first came out. Now I think its time to dig them back out of storage for rereading. That process would indeed completely dry the wood, and would work well for some purposes. However, I would guess that method ...

Sounds like a great experiment. But remember, just as with making Belgian beers, once that lacto gets in a bucket ... it's there to stay. ~r~ Whoah, I have sourdough and kefir ferments going in my kitchen big time. They are basically lactic ferments also. How contagious are they and do I even have ...

This is no kidding. I put horse manure on my popcorn immediatily after planting as a mulch. The worms soon injest it, and carry it in to the roots while they convert it while aereating the soil.

This got me to thinking. I have about 10# of specialty popcorn seed to plant this spring. Has anyone ever popped corn instead of the long boil, prior to the mash? Sounds feasable, though might have to put it through a cider or wine press to get all the wash, or just use a double boiler? Was this Pop...

Strangely, some recipes take on more flavor and color from the oak than others... never really figured out why. I've just tasted some of the first run. Wow, very smooth, very delicate (nice choice of words you had mtnwalker). How long do you oak for? Aidas I thought it was just me, but yes, i have ...
