    What are you drinking?

    The Chocolate Cherry Milk Stout came out well considering... I chose to use Danstar's Nottingham yeast. Never again. That's the fourth time I've tried it and it never finishes. Temperature was a constant 71*F throughout fermentation but I ended up with a 62% attenuation. I would choose another...

    Andouille sausage question

    I got the Andouille done today. Not too bad for my first attempt. Not the prettiest coil. Smoked 3 hrs with hickory and cherry and then finished in the oven to 155 F. The hog casings I had were too big for my liking (38 - 42mm) so I tried to keep my diameter smaller so the casings were a little...

    What are you drinking?

    Hey Carney, Yes the Pliny is one my favorites too. Very complicated beer to brew with endless hop additions and tons of dry hopping. We even used hop extract in this one. It came out amazing though and was worth the time and money to brew it. I will let you know how the Chocolate Cherry Milk...

    Kegerator/Keezer build

    Nice build! The thermal imaging is cool. I built a kegerator a couple years ago that is serving us well. The pictures are under my brewing folder on my profile. Dale Shawbrook14

    What are you drinking?

    Morning all, We've got 4 beers on tap right now. Acadia Coast Pale Ale, Equinox (It's a pumpkin ale made with Long Island cheese pumpkins), An old fashion hard root beer and a Pliny the Younger clone that tops the list at 10% ABV and 200 IBUs. Tomorrow we are brewing a recipe I designed for...

    Thanks Crazy Moon, We are making the andouille today and put in the frig over night, then I'll smoke it tomorrow. I will cut back on the smoke time. Thanks for the advice. Dale Shawbrook14

    Andouille sausage question

    Hey all, Mixing up some andouille sausage with cure #1. My question is in the smoking. I can only keep my smoker about 105F - 110F. I plan on smoking 3 - 6 hours then I will finish in my oven to an internal temp of 150F. Is this method acceptable?

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Thanks! Now to get the sausage made!

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Thanks Dave! If I can't reach 110F to smoke is that still OK? Our outside temps are getting chilly. I may only get to 90F

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Hey Dan, Nice setup! How are controlling the airflow in the mailbox? Just opening the door? I going to make a batch of andouille as soon as I get an answer to my question. My AMNPS 5 x 8 works great in the charcoal side of my char-griller 5050. I set it right in front of the draft contol on top...

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Anybody else have an answer for me? Is my current setup OK. Can I smoke my sausage at 100 - 110F then bring up to 152F in the oven to finish? I'm using 1 tsp. of cure #1 for 5 lbs of  meat. Thanks, Dale

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Thanks dirtsailor, I'll check into the AMNTS tube smoker. I have no problem buying one if it will get the job done. I tried my AMNPS 5x8 in the propane side with a variable speed aquarium pump supplying air to the AMNPS via silicon tubing and it still wouldn't produce enough smoke. Maybe the...

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Thanks, yes a needle valve would work on the propane side to control temps but not with the amazen 5x8 smoker.There's just not enough oxygen to keep the pellets going. I'm smoking on the charcoal side of this smoker. My question was: can I smoke sausage at the temps I can achieve (100 - 110F)...

    Yes, Another cold smoking question!

    Hey all, I'm having a similar problem with my smoker. I have a char-griller 5050. That propane side doesn't work with the amazin 5x8. Just can't get enough oxygen to the pellets, but it works great to cold smoke on the charcoal side. I've smoke lots of cheese and bacon too. I added a hot plate...
