What did everyone cook today?

Tex_77 Yours is much more impressive than mine. I only cooked for 3 people. Prime rib, mushroom risotto and roasted broccoli with gouda cream sauce.

Made 150# of sausage today. We made Hatch Green Chili, Philly Cheese Steak, Supreme Pizza, Blue Ribbon, H-110C, and 1504. On the Philly and Supreme we did a 3 cheese blend with Walton’s high temp cheddar, swiss and mozzarella. We used tubed natural casings as well as fresh collagen. Of course you can see I was representing for @Team Blue and rocking the Walton’s leather apron. We also used Walton’s 11# stuffer. I had the to post the photos separately for some reason…probably Team Orange trying to keep the man down.

Jonathon Honey Garlic thick cut pork loin chops, rice pilaf and corn. Served up with some homemade crabapple wine.

YooperDog Looks amazing, you make your own crab apple wine? How is that? What’s the process like?

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

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!

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.
