What did everyone cook today?
-
Not sure where to post this. Here or Drink of choice.
Not grilled in a while. Holidays screw everything up.Anyway. A newer bourbon to wash it down. Very good. Yeah, the bourbon. Steak is great as always but shrooms was nice boost.
Cheers to “21”… Better is on the way!

PapaSop that’s some fine swill!

PapaSop One of the things we are going to do when we have the meatgistics meat up (hopefully 2021) is a whiskey/bourbon taste test!

Jonathon chop us several pounds of crabapples, steep in hot water and sugar for several days, add your yeast and let nature and chemistry do their thing. Make some adjustments to the flavor profile, rack off sediment a couple of times, clarify/filter, make final flavor & sweetness adjustments, let it rest a month, check flavor, bottle and wait 3-6 months, better after a year. Not anything difficult, sort of puttsy at times. Depending how much wine I got going I just might have to take a nap after all the tasting. LOL

Ain’t that the truth. You can’t rack or bottle without a bit of a taste test of each variety!
I’ve made probably 20+ variations of different fruit including apple, but never tried crabapple - what’s the taste like?
Jonathon the process for pretty much any fruit wine is like YooperDog described: around 3-4 lbs of fruit per gallon, add sugar to get to the desired alcohol content, then pitch some yeast and let Mother Nature do her magic. Sometimes I’ll back-sweeten (for a controlled sweetness) or oak age with oak chips.
Currently “brewing”: strawberry rhubarb, apple, and peach.

gChart depends a bit on the yeast, type/amount of sugar. I would say something like a flat cider. Yes, I always tinker around with recipe a bit, yeasts, additives and yeast food sources. I been making wine since…along time and I am still learning
Crabapple, blackberry wines and blackberry mead waiting to be bottles after the holidays.

Venison kielbasa (using Walton’s ingredients of course), homemade pierogis, and pickled beets. Yum.
Got the wife a simple “dumpling press” as one of her Christmas gifts. Beats the heck out of pressing pierogis with a fork! -

Haha. There are times in recent videos with him that I swear I’m looking in a mirror. Maybe not twin material but could probably pass as brothers.

gChart That is scary. I normally am not one to think many people look like each other, but that picture make us look very similar. If we ever get a Meatgistics Meat Up planned it would be fun to get you involved and do a parody video as me or something! Lol!
-
gChart So you saw it too before we said anything! It’s been nagging at me to say something for about a week now, glad I did and if we do the meatup in 2021 I hope you can make it!

Austin who would play me in this parody? I don’t think Brad Pitt is free that day…

Not even sure what to say to that. Hmm -
Started my bean soup this morning. Rendering the ham bones and soaking the beans. Getting ready to pull the bones and chop the meat and bits, then add the beans and the rest of the ingredients to cook the rest of the day.

First time in I am pretty sure about 44 years with no cooking Chili & Tamales or cornbread for New Years & something good with pork, greens, black eyed peas, etc. for new years day. Swamped with work all of the sudden the past few weeks & still way behind so at the desk, holed up, & writing reports. Here’s to a much better 2021! Happy New Years to all & to all a better new year in 2021.

johnsbrewhouse The place must just smell heavenly. Ham bones and ham hocks always up your game in the bean soup world. Congrats to your family and friends.
