Trust me , Cranky. You can make a barrel from raw materials . But , you aren't going to have a damned bit of fun . Start out by making yourself a barrel windlass . You will also need a croze , draw knife , steam cabinet , and a scorp . Some blacksmithing talents are also handy . Reading lumber grain is also a needed skill .
Don't ask me how I know all these things .

I figure I can figure out something to use for most of those things and worse come to worse it just winds up in the smoker. It's probably just another one of those goofy ideas that may never happen but it's fun to think about and maybe some day I will actually do something about it :D

I would like to know what became of Woodshed, I know after the stroke he seemed to be having some brain related issues I think were caused by the stroke. I was actually wanting to get ahold of some of that organic corn he found so I could give bourbon a try.

Tell me you guys and gals -after all your distillations..
..don't get at least a simple thrill when those enzymes bust up that clod in the bottom of the fermenter and it starts stirring like thin noodle soup.

Naa, nobody gets hurt unless you mention cats then all Bets are off.
Personally,I love them...
Roof rabbit stew:
Two potatoes cubed
Three carrots sliced
One medium onion chopped
One tomato chopped
One medium roof rabbit

Boil and debone roof rabbit and add meat back to stock
Add veggies and cook till potatoes are done.
Salt and pepper to taste

I've argued that the Pink Floyd song Dogs should've been named Cats for its derisive theme.
Cats are ungrateful opportunistic cantankerous untrustworthy self-indulgent moody inflexible little pricks.
And they make you look at their balls.

Geeeze guys, have mercy. There are 3 words you never mention in my house, 1) CAT, 2) SQUIRREL, 3)RABBIT.
Even displaying and/or posting an image is forbidden.
My dog came in while I was reading the last post, took one look at the cat displaying his balls, and started running uncontrolably around the house, jumping on furnature, knocking things over, barking at the windows and doors.Hell I had to let him out for some relief...

True story here, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent...
Some friends invited me over to a cook out. We were sittin' outside drinkin' beer and whiskey, playing music and having a good time.
When I noticed they had a lot of cats, like a dozen or more, all runnin' around everywhere. I thought to myself, man that alot of cats.
So were goin' along gettin' primed, when i notice in the far corner of the yard there's rabbits runnin' around muchin on dandlions and stuff.
I said hey Ted, what do you get when you cross a cat and a rabbit. He looked at me with a straight face and said "Pussy Hare".I said you redneck hillbilly perv... and we all laughed for an hour...

Mine don't lick faces. It's quite gross,I agree.
Personally I don't have anything against cats. I've had several fine barn cats that killed snakes for me. I am however allergic to them so they were exactly that,barn cats.

Have y'all seen the new jeep wrangled pickup truck that's supposedly coming out in 2019?
I think I NEED one...

I think I broke my right foot. Years ago I crushed it under a log breaking 11 bones, well this feels the same. All I noticed was a bold blister the size of a pimple or so on the side of my foot and it hurt. Tried popping it to relieve the pressure but it hurt too much. After a week it was still there and I could feel something hard under it and my foot hurt about an inch around it. Finally popped it and another week has passed, foot was getting better but I stepped on the stairs funny and twisted my foot. Heard a crack or pop and all the pain came back. Now, if I twist my foot with my hands it’s very painful, pull back on my toes and pain goes away mostly. Same feeling as when I had busted tiny bones in my foot years ago. Wait, just realized (by the big lump and deformity it was my left foot I broke before, regardless, my right foot hurts.
If I was sober it would really hurt, in fact if I wasn’t such a he-man I would of cried! :esurprised:

Went through 2 1/2 gallons of neutral over the holidays, I fricken love Caesar’s! I use vegetable juice instead of Clamato so it’s like really healthy too!

Kids working at a chicken factory and brought home a 20kg box of miscuts for $10.

Sorry...are you supposed to hijack a thread with one topic or ramble on about numerous and see what sticks?

Had two turkeys and a huge ham over the holidays too.

Gotta go get another drink, back in a bit.
Holy crap, just noticed it’s 12:05! Ok, one more then I gotta go to bed. Gotta get up a 6, blah...

Stupid autocorrect, blood blister not bold blister, well I’m not going through it all now, need a drink.
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!
