What did everyone cook today?
-
I cooked up some more Philly cheesesteak brats last night. A great Walton’s mix if you haven’t made them yet. You should.
-
Made some tender Sweet Chipotle jerky today and it came out great.


-
That looks sweet (& spicy) & tender! Especially for jerky.
-
Dinner is done, the ribs tasted almost like ham. Tender, juicy and a good smoke ring. Bones pulled right out. I’ll have the chicken in some pazole .

Looks awesome -
johnsbrewhouse Looks awesome! Do you homebrew or do you actually own/work at a brewery? If so, we’d love to try some for the podcast!

Jonathon I used to build homebrewing equipment and stills. I homebrew and make wine and mead occasionally.

Had a few early season geese turned them into some Willys snack sticks. -

johnsbrewhouse Those look great. The bones look just about perfect. Did you cook them through, low & slow or did you use a crutch? I use the a crutch if I have to because of time, but I prefer the thorough low & slow. It dries the meat out a little more & makes it just about like candy.
I have always wanted to try some home brewing (wine, beer, & mead), but have just never been able to get it started. Hopefully some day soon. Who do you think makes the best equipment & kits for the best price? I was going to try one in Missouri, I believe it was. I still have their catalogue & was going to get a beer kit, that still had a lot of good equipment that could be used for wine & not by the complete wine kit, just separate Carboys, corker, & wine specifics. Trying to save some money, but be thorough & right. -

As far as the equipment, you can probably buy it piece meal. Wine and beer use pretty much the same equipment with the exception of the corking/capping equipment. You probably have a large stainless pot, 5-6 gallons. You know how to keep things clean, you process meat. You can probably find some equipment on offer up of other places.

johnsbrewhouse That is a Great Idea on the equipment, I never thought of that. The stainless steel is probably better than the Plastic buckets they sell in the kits too.
Ok, you are using a crutch. When I do that I smoke them for about 3 hours open on the racks, then pan them & cover with foil about 2 hours or so, then transfer them back to the racks to dry & smoke another 1 hour or so & finish, all at around 225°/250°. When I just do them low & slow it is 8-9 hours on the racks at 225°/250 until just tender, good smoke, not falling off the bone, but dry bones & meat falls into your mouth with just a little bite. They look great & tasty too.

Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler. -
Last night was all about the beef ribs. We sell a ton of ribeyes but no one wants the the ribs. Dummies. Lol.

Joe Hell can’t beat plate ribs!

calldoctoday Ferment in glass carboys, you can pick them up cheap, use the stainless pots to brew your wort (the beer mix)

johnsbrewhouse my vote is plastic buckets over glass…or stainless if you can afford it. There is nothing more disheartening than breaking a glass vessel filled with liquid joy.
I stopped fermenting in glass carboys after a buddy had one shatter on him, slashing him across the palm quite badly. You can develop micro-cracks in those things over time and then . . . BOOM just because you set maybe a little too hard.
I still like the carboy shape, so I switched to plastic carboys. They don’t break, and they are a good deal lighter. Here’s one of mine holding the latest batch of apfelwein I started a few days ago.

Stainless fermenters are mighty sexy, but you jump from around $30 for a plastic carboy to $500+ for the stainless fermenters (and and quickly get to $1000+). I never could make that make that make sense on a homebrew scale, although I know a number of guys who have.
