    Honey Mead?

    Believe it or not, honey doesn't have enough nutrients for efficient yeast activity. I made mead for my vinegar fermentation small business and it was a challenge. Proper nutrients and a workable specific gravity are key.

    NHC in San Diego

    You're one lucky guy. I envy you. My wife and I were in San Diego last year and I din't want to leave. Its a long way for us (Ontario Can.) My wife doesn't drink beer but accompanies me on my beer tours. Better no push my luck with "Upper Management" at this time.

    Any particular reason you DON'T homebrew?

    I agree. It is time consuming but can be very rewarding. I started home brewing way back in the 1960s (I'm 70 years young) and the reason for the home brew was to get a decent brew. Back then, we only had the large regional breweries Molson's, Labatte, Carling etc. (Canada) and they pretty...

    Favorite Beer

    I'm with you pit. I'm with you pit. I love IPAs. The higher the IBU the better. My wife and I were in San Diego last year and feel that San Diego is the ale centre of the universe. We have some nice micro & cottage breweries here in Canada with great quality brews but San Diego is the place...

    Too Much Fire!!! Traeger help sought

    Thanks for that info Armchair!  I've never had that problem but I have had to replace 2 hot rods. After the second replacement I just disconnected the hot rod electrical.  I now fill a hand full of pellets into the fire pit and light them with a torch. It works for me and I now don't have a hot...

    Looking for techniques and coaching | Burnt Ends

    For burnt ends, I now use a pork belly and follow Malcom Greene's method.  My wife and I love this recipe and method.

    Hello!

    I appreciate your advice.  I lowered the cone on top of the chimney on the Traeger and it seemed to help a bit.  I tried the other methods of getting more smoke into it but the fan kept blowing the extra smoke out through the chimney directly.  I'll work on it.  Thanks again.  roger

    Hello!

    I agree.  I just finished the experiment and it went horribly wrong.  I cut off half the air holes and the holes that remained allowed an even more forceful air flow. The air had to go some place and it ignited the pellets into a flame that would not go out. At least I tried. roger

    Hello!

    I'm working on a method to reduce the air flow through the Traeger.  The holes in the fire pit where the air comes out and is distributed appear that they can be sealed with screws.  If I seal half of them, I figure I might get more smoke sticking around.  I'm going to try this today as an...

    Question on meat slicer

    I meant to say "sort of at the centre of the blade"

    Question on meat slicer

    I too have that problem.  I purchased a good slicer (8 inch blade) and all of the cuts dove tailed as you call it.  If the meat is "almost" frozen, it helps a bit but as your friend stated, you must flip the meat over.  After much thought and looking at the more industrialized slicers that you...

    Salt and brine?

    Thanks a bunch Dave.  roger

    Salt and brine?

    I agree with Dave. It looks like you had approximately a 6% salt solution (Water weight only). I like the idea of 1% sugar Dave.  Any chance of getting those "spices"? roger
