    Thanks coma44, It seems when you boil the brine, the flavors really do Meld better. Thanks for the reply.

    Brine To Boil Or Not To Boil?

    Thanks moose,            Makes you think, how good is all the bottled water out there? Maybe not as good as the tap, in some cases.

    Brine To Boil Or Not To Boil?

    Thanks SQWIB,           I understand about the chlorine, but I'm with Bear about the bottled water. It seems I heard a lot of bottled water is just filtered tap water.

    Brine To Boil Or Not To Boil?

    Thanks Bear,         That is a good reason to boil it. I never thought about the problems with well water. But that helps me understand the reason for boiling.

    Brine To Boil Or Not To Boil?

    Thanks for the replies. I've just seen so many recipes where some say boil and some don't, that I was wondering if you had to boil it for a reason other than to dissolve everything.

    !st attempt at cheese

    I think alot of it comes down to your personal taste. Some people like it with more smoke than others. I do like a lot of smoke. I've lit my amns on both end and in the middle. Some of my friends like the smokey flavor and some don't care for it. I think the amount of heat in your smoker has a...

    Brine To Boil Or Not To Boil?

    I don't know if this is a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway. When brining poultry do you always boil your brine? If you are using herbs and spices I believe you should so they release their oils or flavors. But if you are just using salt and sugar should you boil it? I've done Cornish...

    First smoked cheese

    Good job. Just gotta wait a couple of weeks. Put it in the back or bottom of your fridge where you can't see it, it helps me, a little, but the wait is definitely worth it.

    Smoked Cheese Using the AMNS Batch #1 Using Cherry

    That is some really good looking cheese there Beer-B-Q. I like the Gouda and Hot Pepper Cheese, but would really like to try the Wasabi you have there. I've been using the oak wine barrel in my AMNS and I do like it, but I do the the triple smoke with lighting it on both ends and on the middle...

    Favorite cheese for smoking

    I've smoked many types of cheese Gouda, Hot Pepper, Asiago, Parmesan, Monterrey Jack, Pepper Jack, Cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, and Sting Cheese ( AKA Cheese sticks ). IMHO I like the Gouda, Hot Pepper and to grate the Parmesan over pasta or pizza. But don't forget the wood has a bit to do...

    Fall of the Bone Spare Ribs

    Great Job. You should learn something every time you smoke, even if it is to change something or do exactly the same way. Those look really good. I think the Dust you talked about will put them over the top for your taste. Remember to cook to your taste unless your cooking for someone else...
