    first time brewing

    You are right Bob, I asked tons of questions! I really wasnt even sure what the mash or wurt was but I learned a lot. Whats kinda funny is i was good friends with this guy back in high school but had not seen him since. Well 15 years later we hooked up of facebook and its just like old times...

    The Perfect Pint

    You know I've been on a SERIOUS calorie and carb watch myself and the Guinness is really not bad at all, 125 calories and 10g of carbs. I've been staying between 800 and 1000 calories a day and about 100g of carbs so I can work a Guinness or 2 in there every once in while.

    The Perfect Pint

    all this talk of Guinness yesterday, I stopped on the way home and got an 8 pack of cans. Got home and called my friend to come over and "help" me do some electrical work in the basement. Well the Guinness is all gone and wiring is half done, I think it was a successful night.

    first time brewing

    you're right, I would not want to jump into all grain by myself. I was going to start out with kit brewing but since he has everything I'm just going to brew with him for a while. He said he started out with kits and extract brewing. Here is what he told me, you can go to the store and buy a...

    The Perfect Pint

    I've never seen Guinness served at a pub in cans but get them for home and they pour out pretty good. There is an Irish pub in Columbus that sends the bartenders to get Guinness cetified, at least thats what the guy told me. They said Guinness has a class you can take on the proper temp and...

    best beer for BBQ

    I had heard lots of good stuff about Yuengling but they dont sell it in Ohio. While on vacation last summer in NC I finally got to try some and didnt really care for it. I did go back to the store and get the black and tan and it was very good.

    The Perfect Pint

    Guiness is my favorite also, too bad most places around here serve it too cold. It taste best at 55-60 degrees. I buy the cans and just leave them in my basement which is about 63-65 and that seems to be pretty good also. It doesnt have much flavor if its too cold.

    best beer for BBQ

    I got a sixer of Leinenkugal Fireside Nut Brown and it was VERY good. Also had some Stoudts double IPA, I'm not a huge fan of IPA's but this one is pretty good. Its a one at a time beer for me though, 10% alcohol!!

    first time brewing

    Wow I didnt realize how much was involved. I went to a friends house and helped him brew a 5 gallon batch of beer. It was a clone of Moose Drool which I've never had but is a brown ale. He does all grain brewing so we started with measuring out the malts and crushing them and went all the to...

    salmon,tuna and cod W/Qview.

    Can you tell me how you do your brine? I see the dry ingredients in the first 2 pictures and then it looks like you added liquid to it? Do you dredge the fish in the dry mix first then add water to the bowl?

    catfish?

    Ok so I did not brind and just did half with salt and pepper and the other half with some cajun seasoning. Smoked with cherry at about 220 and only took about an hour and they were great. These were skinless fillets that my friend had caught this summer, I'll be hitting up his catfish hole...

    catfish?

    I agree, nothing better than deep fried! But a guy I work with has a few bags left from last year so we are going to give them a try in the smoker.

    venison in the smoker

    Had some venison back straps today, wow they were AWSOME. Put a little rub on some and some cajun seasoning on some, smoked at 225 till they got to 150. Much better than the neck roast.

    Smoking in below freezing temps

    I've got a GOSM and use it all winter long, just have to turn the dial a little farther to get the temp up. I've got a mark on the dial that is just below medium that gets me close to 225 during the summer, during the winter I have to go a little past medium to get the same temp but it holds...

    salt for brine?

    Ok, thanks. Like I said I'm at work with limited resourses so would I be better to not brine at all and just season with some salt, pepper and garlic powder tomorrow before I put it in the smoker?
