    Planted garlic for the 1st time

    Garlic is pretty simple. Some varieties differ but the common is to set 2" deep 4" apart. I'll see about flavor differences next July when I harvest. I planted hardneck they grow from Siberia to Italy. From what I read most all the garlic in stores is from China or Cali and is a softneck...

    Planted garlic for the 1st time

    Took home some steel decking drop from work and made some raised beds. I filled them this weekend with garlic, looking forward to fresh next year. This was something I'd been meaning to plant for years.

    Pepper haul from garden

    Jared up some 1/2 pints. The heat is very mellow. They are salty though. I re-read the 3.5% salt ratio. I weighed the pepper and water, if I'm understanding this better, should only have weighed the water for the brine solution. Honestly a lot of hot sauces on the market are just as salty. A...

    Nuclear Nectar is born

    Pretty sure the peppers are going to float up. I just poured raw honey over sliced garlic and they floated to the surface.

    Nuclear Nectar is born

    Very creative. Buttermilk bisques and a bottle to go please. Last month I batched up local honey with diced ginger. Love it in a cup of tea. I allowed it to ferment, in fact it's still living. I tightened the lid early on and she ballooned. Sence then I leave it loosed screwed. I wonder if the...

    Making Black Garlic

    I would think the freezer would work.

    Making Black Garlic

    Just planting the ideas in my head. You all rock. I'm chomping at the bit with 4 types of hardneck in the mail and 2 new raised beds primed and ready. Gonna put black garlic on the short list along with hot sauces for the garlic/pepper combo verities.

    Pepper haul from garden

    Well I'm off. Just waiting for the dishwasher to finish sanitizing. Thanks again for all the info. No feet dragging anymore. I figure if I have to toss a batch, lessons will be learned. The uncut Poblano, Cherries and Naga wont fit this batch. Hmm might order more lids. In the mean time I'll...

    Another decent superhot pick

    Nice bounty. I'm thinking to add some hotter pants to the garden next season.

    Pepper haul from garden

    Jeff reading through your old ferments I have a question. Are you only fermenting the pure peppers? I was intending to ferment with garlic in the jar maybe some carrot slices.

    Pepper haul from garden

    I see what you're saying on the colors, if all mixed I'm guessing brown would be the final color. Not the prettiest. Yellow/Red/Green/Orange will look outstanding. Thanks for the input. I like the idea of adding yellow bells and orange bells also. I have some orange/purple/yellow carrots growing...

    Pepper haul from garden

    Long time lurker here, mostly smoking related browsing. Then I stumbled into the pepper section. You guys peaked my interest in homemade hot sauces. My fermentation lids arrived Friday and I picked through the garden today. Kind lost track of what I grew but I think there are Aji Pineapple/Big...

    Neighbors wanted in so added a rack of ribs Trying yellow mustard base (new for me) and a dry rub medley of Wild Willy's number one rub & Montreal Steak. I'm scratching my head on whether to put fatties on @ the same time or wait an hour. What would everyone suggest?

    A few days ago I had never heard of a fattie. This morning I have two resting in the frifge. Off the summer throwdown I picked a couple to bust my cherry with. Thanks BBQGODDESS & Seboke (many fine options to choose from). I twisted up a Greek in Turkey and a Choke mommy. My first roll...

    best portable propane grill??

    5th or 6th year with my Napoleon infrared grill. It's far from a slow cooker. It's a sear burner. Combine with a cast iron pan and you fix most anything while camping. The grill has survived many trips onto the ice fishing, towed in a sled behind a snowmobile. I cringed when I wrote the check...

    A big hello from Vermont

    Hi all, Jeff here. Not real experienced in smoking. I have a few things under my belt. I cook on a Brinkman LP wet smoker. I'm looking forward to expanding my horizons with some help from you folks.
