    any homebrewers have some experience?

    ok got it, thanks for the definition, back when i started brewing the small group i was in we had no idea what we were doing and we just called everything wort... but yeah it would probably be better with the actual wort sans yeast by products.. although if my knowledge is correct isn't the trub...

    any homebrewers have some experience?

    Ok yeah, i am kind of an idiot... as i said before i don't have sooo much experience in brewing or even smoking for that matter... i don't know the terminology it seems to describe what it was i meant, but the word i wanted to use was using the wort as a part of the marinade... i have no idea...

    any homebrewers have some experience?

    I was thinking of just that sort of thing, and yeah was concerned about the powerful flavors in that but hoping someone had tried it out maybe cutting that with something sweet to even that out, or maybe even mixing it into a bbq sauce, but that might be a bad idea with the active cultures going...

    any homebrewers have some experience?

    Ok, so i am kinda new to the whole thing of homebrewing, brewed quite a few batches, more than ten years ago probably, but i remember there being quite a lot of dregs at the bottom of the carbouy when transferring to the bottles... that being said... I am also smoking ribs, bacon, salmon...

    Hmm.... I used to fish quite a bit, never much saltwater though where i was from, I have seen guys selling fishing rods on the street but that really doesn't mean much, pretty much anything is available here if you know where to look for it.  I can keep my eyes open for you if you have trouble...

    Well, I just had a guy come over and weld up some more racks for me just flat racks to add to my smoker stack, like you would find in an oven.  He's a great guy does most of my little repairs and ac cleaning and recharging stuff.  he rented a machine for 200 pesos.  So i know i said 500 a day...

    I was thinking more of you manufacturing the rib rack and beercan chicken rack when you arrive, they have long stainless bars here for i dont know maybe 3 or 400 pesos for 20 feet, find a guy around where you are going to be with a welder and rent that for a day at maybe 500 pesos and have your...

    JC- I appreciate the offer for a piggyback of goodies, but don't bother with the halfnhalf, needs refrigeration for the good stuff, the thing i miss the most is probably good beer, i used to be a homebrewer and sold all my stuff when i left, regretting that now, microbeers here are hard to find...

    JC, Sorry to bring up the whole ransom thing, CDO should be fine though, i haven't heard of anything really from that area in the 5 years or so of me being here. Thats great news on your KA, i just hope whoever is going through your bags follows that protocol also, As for me, there are quite a...

    JC,  i noticed your going to CDO and looked it up on the map, there is a true value in davao i think? and although it isn't really close to you it might be closer than having to come back to manila.  good luck on the KA mixer, enjoy the province, never been there as i tend to stand out wherever...

    Maganda Umaga, smokin' in philippines....

    JC, Yeah thats what i was telling you before but its easy to lose track... Ace hardware does not have chips, True value hardware does, they don't have true value hardware in SM department stores, http://www.truevalue.com.ph/StoreFinder/tabid/72/Default.aspx you copy that info there and paste it...

    Tatoosh-  So you do a hot smoke on your bacon... how long do you cure for again?  I do a cold smoke on my bacon, best to keep it under 80 degree's but if i can manage to keep it under 100 the whole time i am doing pretty good, it takes a longer time for sure, at least 8 hours, but i don't lose...

    JC, - not sure if there is true value hardware on your way at that SM, really not sure where the other true values are here, there are only a few of them.  just do a quick google search for them when you get here am sure there is some around alabang, yeah the mixer is kinda pricey, even buying...

    JC, I get my chips from True Value hardware.  there are a few locations in the metro.  Also i get some smoke trays for smaller smokes at a gourmet shop called Gourdo's.  smoke trays are only about 60 pesos, and depending on your smoker they last a couple hours at most.  The chips are chunks...

    Alan, Regarding local woods, I have tried a couple of different ones, with little success, Avocado, nasty heavy lavender flavor, Crabapple, kinda hard to describe on that one, nothing i was used to or wanting to repeat.  My thoughts, although unconfirmed regarding local sources or uses is that...

    I still haven't figured out how to post photos on this site, however, to update my progress.  In the 3 months or so i have been doing this i have sold over 100 hundred kilos of bacon.  Hurray for me... we have started doing ribs and packaging those for sale also, sold more than 20 kilos...

    pre-mixing instacure and salt?

    ok someone correct me if i am wrong, but isn't the purpose of using kosher salt to avoid the addition of anticaking agents and other impurities added to table salt that could affect taste/texture of meat?  also iodine... anyway, am new to all of this also, just remember from my research how...

    ahh ok apple, as for chunk prices, i doubt you will find much cheaper here especially for applewood unless you happen to find some local fruit grower with some down trees.  but i don't think they grow here, i have heard crabapple is similar but i don't know, i haven't tried it, i usually use a...
