I'm not 100% certain that I'll be able to be at the party in person this year. A few things have came up that require more of my attention than what I originally thought. I'm still sending things up for the party, but it may not be me.

SCD/Panikry I'll be in touch if things change, and I'm more certain if I can come.

[distiller_dresden]

Can't wait for this! Right now I'm bringing:

coconut sugar distillate, aged on Japanese maple and hard maple, backsweetened with filtered coconut sugar simple syrup.
rum, aged on Japanese maple, hard and soft maple, french/hungarian/american oak, backsweetened with my crazy caramel(TM) and a touch of clarified dunder added
mango pear cherry (rainier) brandy, no wood, aged/macerated fresh mango, dried mango (no sugar), fresh rainier cherries, asian/bartlett/bosc pear, backsweetened/proofed with mango wine and pear con.
(^this was the distillate that was my 'juicyfruit' and was a kitchen sink, but no sugar wash)
lychee papaya pear brandy, no wood, aged/macerated canned lychee, dried papaya (rinse/soak 5 min hot water to remove sugar), backsweetened with lychee juice (proofed with) and pear con.
apple pear brandy, no wood, aged macerated with honeycrisp/fuji apples, asian/bartlett pear, backsweetened with AJ concentrate (proofed) and pear con.
[brandies were all 85 proof before fruit in]
pancake (maple syrup) rum, aged on Japanese/hard/soft maple, yellow birch, hungarian oak, backsweetened with maple syrup
another rum - fermenting now - not sure how I'll treat it yet, depends how the distillate tastes, wash from molasses/turbinado/coconut sugar

Maybe somethings more, not sure what, we'll see!

Bofus . Any of you guys/gals like smoked salmon ? Local opinion has it that I do a fine job on that and it makes a good snack with crackers and cheese .

[distiller_dresden]

Yum!Yum!Yum!

[dukethebeagle120]

and shineon,i haven`t forgot your syrup

[Shine0n]

Funny Duke, I just thought of that yesterday. lol

I'm looking forward to a nice trip to Pa.
Just went to West Virginia last weekend and man is that place incredible, beautiful views!!!

We'll see what happens in 3 weeks, lotsa fun I'm sure

[DetroitDIY]

Good evening crew. Thinking I might like to attend if it's not too late. Just read through the thread and it sounds like a good time. Plus it would definitely be nice to meet some of you (all of you? ). I'll PM you shortly Panikry about options.

I do like to cook. If I come I may try to bake something and possibly bring some other homemade options: Banana Cake, Sunday Challa Bread, Peanut/Almondbutter Kimchi Burgers. OK, perhaps the last one sounds frightening, but I assure you it's quite tasty.

I don't have too much in the beverage arena, but the rum I have is 2 yrs aged and quite good (to my not so discriminating taste ), and I just made my first batch of Ginger Liquor, which... tastes like a first batch I expect. That said, I do have some ciders and meads that I can bring which might be a nice respite from the harder things in life for some of us.

Cheers!

As long as I'm not committed to anything already (wife is out of town for 3 days, so I don't know what I'm doing in life), I am totally there!

[panikry83]

17 more days ladies and gents!

[thecroweater]

Great time will be had I know, can vaguely picture the front of this place as we stopped there on our hurried southern trip

[panikry83]

Crow, I was so blitz from the night before, I could barely picture YOUR face that morning. And I was sitting right in front of you in the car, lmao.

[thecroweater]

Saulrite I seed you night before if ya member , I looked bout the same clothes and all

[Shine0n]

This should be some fun folks!)

[Truckinbutch]

This should be some fun folks!)

That's the goal . We have achieved in the past . No reason for not having a repeat performance . I know the host will do his best .

[panikry83]

Just about a week away guys. Let's get a role call going and maybe an estimated day of arrival (ie. Fri / Sat). SCD and I are getting everything pulled together - I wanna see what everyone's looking to bring so I can fill in the blanks as well.

[BayouShine]

Boudin, gumbo and sample bottles will get to yall some time next week.

[panikry83]

Looking forward to it bayou, wish you could make it. Next year somewhere for sure.

[jedneck]

Whats on the menu for Saturday. Takes some good eatin for me to leave the mountians

[jedneck]

I gonna bring a few lbs o bacon for brekkie n maybe bikkets. If needed i can maybe find a hog to roast for Saturday but gonna need tb n socd both to have smokers there

[panikry83]

sent you a txt

Yeah we were thinking about chicken and pork already. SCD is gonna have his smoker here already. If TB feels like tagging his along for the ride, we can certainly put it to good use. More meats = more food to soak up more liquor!

[panikry83]

Also, get outta the sticks and come visit me in my 'hood. I've got 6 trees in my yard, it'll be like home.

[jedneck]

6 trees wont take long to mark territory
