    Strange Cherry Tree

    Thanks guys. I still get a lot of figs, Lemons and Pomegranates. As a side note, If you get your hands on some fresh figs, put them on you grill(5 min. or so), there great. Some folks stuff them with cream cheese. .

    Not Beer But.....

    A little side note. If you have a Cost Plus Store near you may want to check them for all kind fancy bottles. The ones I used I bought there, however it was filled with Lemon aid, drank the drink and used the bottles.

    I should add the reason for the high proof is not to make a very strong drink but to extract the lemon oil from the zest.

    Not Beer But.....

    Remember with 1.75 bottle your adding about 60 oz of sugar water. My math tell me it should be about t90 proof (someone want to double check my calculation) and your taking a shot glass as an after dinner drink....well maybe two.

    I have a butt on my new Traeger Junior and I can't get the temp regulated where I need it.

    I switched out to the Ortech Controller. Goggle Ortech. I think it came to $80 with postage. The unit is easy to install and very happy with it and if you have a problem you can talk to a real person at their Co.
