The best of both worlds
Had some Nut Brown Ale to use up. Added some amber DME and let it ferment a week. Then today I added some bacon. I put the bacon in the oven and baked it till it was crisp. Got rid of most of the fat and grease that way. Put it in some sanitized cheesecloth and dropped it in the fermenter. My...- reinman

Mr Beer question
I was given a Mr Beer that had been sitting around for quite some time. Aside from the keg itself there were some leftover indredients. I know the yeast will be no good and the bags of booster are hard as a rock, so they will need to be thrown out. But I was wondering about the cans. Now they...- reinman

Got a question
My son got a Mr Beer, and my son in law got a kit from Coopers. The Mr Beer has you boil the ingredients with water, but the Coopers just has you dump boiling water on top of the ingredients. Is there a difference in ingredients between kits, or is it they just do things differently. I...- reinman

Mothers Day graduation smoke with Qview
We combined Mother's Day with my daughters graduation. My son in law and I said we'd take care of the meat end of things. We hauled both of our smokers to my mom's house and did everything there. Didn't have time to take pictures while making everything, but did get one just before we served... -
Stuffed pork loin ideas
I'm going to be stuffing a couple porkloins next weekend. I want to stuff one with apple, and I'm thinking of adding pecans, some brown sugar and some cinnamon. Anybody have anything else that I want want to add along with the apples? Also any good ideas for a rub that will go along with a... -
My 99 cent corned beef with Q view
Well today is the day to turn my 99 cent a pound corned beef into pastrami. I soaked out the corned beef for about 8 hours yesterday, and then applied a rub with corriander, black pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic, and mustard seed last night. Here they are wrapped up and going back to the... -
Cornish game hens
Looking for some info on how to do these. I was in the store the other day and they had 2 game hens, 44 ounces total, packaged up at $4 per package. Looks like they were about to the expiration date so they threw 2 together and froze them quick. I'm guessing a good brine and then smoke, but... -
Corned beef brisket question
I've read over some of the Pastrami threads and think I have this figured out, but thought I'd ask to make sure. I was trolling the meat aisle today and found some corned beef points for 99 cents a pound and couldn't resist. From the links I read it sounds like soak them out for 4 or 5 hours... -
Looking for some ideas
I am about to make some changes to my house. I will be putting a covered patio on the back of my house. The covered portion will be the 36 foot length of the house by 12 feet wide. A sliding glass door will give access from near the kitchen to make grilling and smoking easier. Right now I am...- reinman

Breakfast sausage
Pork shoulders were on sale for 99 cents, so I thought it was time for some breakfast sausage. I hate paying $2 or $3 a pound when it can be made for 99 cents. I bought 3 shoulders, and then bought about 4 pounds of fatty trim since the shoulders would be plenty lean. 22 pounds ground up and... -
Tomorrow nights supper
Kids come tomorrow night for supper, so thought I'd make a pizza fattie. Started with 1 pound of venison and 1 pound of pork sausage. We make some hot Italian brats so I added that recipe to the meat. Fennel, cayenne, Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic. When we make brats we also add crushed... -
Rib question
Next month my son and law and I are doing a smoke for mothers day. We're doing a couple loins and a couple fatties. I also wanted to do a couple slabs of ribs, but we really won't have 5 hours before eating time. We're taking out smokers to my moms and doing everything there, so it's not like we... -
Some ribs and others with Qview
Was thinking of a brisket this weekend, but couldn't find one I liked. So I opted for ribs since they were on sale. Figured if I had the smoker going I might as well do something else, so I picked up a 10 pound bag of chicken hindquarters and put some of those in too. I want to thank The Dude... -
First time fattie
Well I'd lurked for a while learning. I'd smoked sausage, brats, dried venison, and ribs. But some of the ideas I found here looked great. Last week I tried a stuffed pork loin, so I thought this week I'd try my first fattie. After reading a lot of posts on fatties, I could see a lot of people... -
New from Nebraska
Been lurking here for a while, but decided it was time to join in. I'm on my third smoker, and first gas smoker. Started out with charcoal, but just cold smoked my summer sausage, brats, and such. Started small and ended up building a smoker out of an old metal clothes closet. Thought it was...
