    Thanks Hawg. I agree, he did do a fantastic job. His true day job is an EMT on the local ambulance service. Guessing you won't be seeing him quit that any time soon. When I originally took it to him, he was being shuffled between shifts and locations and much fewer hours. Since, they moved...

    I know this is a little different type of thread, but wanted to share. As some of you are aware, due to my posts, I hunt whitetail deer, and make my own smoked products from them. Well, in 2016, during the WI gun deer hunt, I was successful in harvesting two animals. A nice adult doe and my...

    Something a little different

    Bill, I know at least one batch got campden tablets, but I don’t believe that the rest did. I will admit, neither my buddy nor I really know much about this whole process other than the basics. As far as sweetening, we pretty much refrigerated it after that, and it never lasted long enough...

    Surprisingly enough, hard cider isn’t too hard to make. Unfortunately, all my (our) cider making equipment was lost to a fire about a month ago in a buddies house fire, so at current I’m down to about half a gallon. Definitely will be back up and ready by next fall though. I’ll look my...

    Hi Mountain Jerky Blends

    Hhhhmmmmm! Yup, looks like it isn’t good. Better send it to me and make another batch with sugar added. Lol! Looks good from here. Nice job.

    Hi Mountain Jerky Blends

    I can’t speak to added sugar in the jerky blends, but using the hi mountain sausage kits I have added or modified the seasoning pack a bit. I don’t think you will hurt yourself as long as you start slow and don’t mess with the cure. You don’t want to over do it, so I would recommend a little...

    I won’t go so far as to say I’m good at making anything, honestly. (Ok, maybe pulled pork. That I’ve got down pretty well). But I have made a few batches of sausage and snack sticks. I have pretty much everything I need to make them, and buy seasonings and casings as per batch. Being a...

    Any more AGR's

    OK gang. I had the pleasure back in college to get to join a fraternity. Now, this in itself is no big news, but as luck would have it, thanks to a pic I added to one of my posts with the chapter crest on it, one of my chapter brothers found me here on SMF. Our conversation earlier got me...

    Tom, I'm disappointed I'm just seeing this now. Not one personally much for smoked cheese--especially with so many great fresh cheeses here in cheeseland, but I do like the idea of a get together. I live about an hour west of you over along I-39 south of Stevens Point in farm country...

    Something a little different

    Pabeef, Pin 533, and we had a couple drinks at lab farm 3 (Mel’s) later that evening. Will always consider your dad the true advisor! And yes! We should have a gathering like that regularly. Just someone else other than me can plan it. That was a lot of work. Hhhmmm. I sense we need to...

    Beef Jerky

    Hey all, My sister in law got me a hi mountain jerky variety pack for Christmas this year, and since we have an abundance of ground beef in the freezer (thanks to a great buy at our local county fair), I thought I’d try a couple flavors out. This and the fact my new jerky mats for the mes 40...

    My First Attempt to make Bacon

    That looks great. And I bet it tastes even better. Nicely done. I may just have to eventually break down and try my first shot at bacon soon. After all it is my name. Yes, really! Mark

    Something a little different

    Motocrash, Exactly which yeast we used I can't recall without digging back into a little bit. Maybe a Lalvin 1118? I do know one batch was a champagne yeast, but the last couple bottles we used a true hard cider yeast. Not a huge difference between the champagne and cider yeasts in initial...

    BBQ "Fried" Chicken

    Man, Disco. That looks great. I'm gonna try this this summer when the weather is warmer. Haven't been on here much for the past year for numerous reasons. So glad I finally found my way back. And my new years diet (HAHA that aint happenin) is shot all to he**! Mark
