JoeB Remember how bad that first taste of OB was. But after a bottle, the rest tasted great.
wdaly Must admit… There are a lot of things in my life that can meet that classification

GWG8541 wdaly zbigjeff Make it to WV once a year, and with an friend escort wander into a few of the Hollows for a qt Mason jar or 2. Can’t go alone, would never be seen again. I know Itawane is no more, sad. Enjoyed Pusan, walked along the beach with so much seafood for sale and eat. Had troop elements at ever camp on the western corridor, and based out of Red Cloud, so i had the privilege of visiting and seeing it all fm the DMZ to Pusan regularly. Olympics changed much of that. Always keeped a case of OB in the houch (military slang) for visitors. Let it be known when you said 50% that is 100proof . These days i buy Everclear, 198proof and make my own Houch ( bootlegger slang) infusions.

@ndmike Just great flavor - Not hot at all. If you have not tried smoking this cheese, I highly recommend it.

lkrfletcher You’re not very nice person by making the salivary glands explode while sitting close to a keyboard.

Blue ribbon brats and Fiesta brats from a local processor. I’ve tried 2 brats from the same processor and I didn’t care for the texture of either. I only bought them to try the flavor, as I know where thier seasonings come from…

-
They look real good.

Sorry Man - I think that is the point of this post. Getting everyone excited about what is being processed / cooked out there. Mighty Fine Vittles! -

lkrfletcher You are absolutely right about cold smoking cheese. I smoked about 60 pounds of various cheese this fall and spring, 3 different types of Cheddar, Muenster, Colby, Jarlsberg Swiss, Cojack, Pepperjack, Monterrey Jack, Port Reyes Blue, Double smoked Mozzarella and regular Mozzarella. Just finished up my last 4.5 lbs. of Cheddar and 3 lbs. of Jarlsberg Swiss last week. I wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then vac-seal. I’ve eaten some of my cheese 10 months after smoking and it is great. The Mozzarella rounds freeze real well also. Love cold smoking cheese.

I was probably close to you when I had my surgery on Wed. at CU Anschutz.lkrfletcher When things open up a little more in early Summer, maybe we can catch a brew some where and do a cheese swap. A little hint on where to find some good/different types of cheese is to go to the Murray’s cheese kiosks at Kings and look for the markdowns. They usually markdown about 4 days before the printed sell by date. I picked up over 50 of the Mozzarella Cheese balls for 99cents this last year. I’ve got a freezer full!

Bob Stehlik In what part of town is Murray’s? My son and sister live in Denver so I get there often ( or did before shut down). I smoke cheese in my GMG and an always looking for cheeses.

Using some leftover smoked brisket, I put together a nice homemade pizza for the wife and I. It’s a Malinaro’s pre-baked crust with pizza sauce and a drizzle of my homemade Q sauce, sautéed onion and mushrooms, mozzarella and smoked sharp cheddar cheese, then topped with diced brisket and for the first time I added thin sliced pepperoni. The wife approved, so happy life!

Almost NY style
. Looks great -

wdaly King Sooper’s (Kroger) grocery stores has these Murray’s Cheese centers. You may have Kroger stores in your hometown, they have several different local names. Here in Colorado they are know as King Sooper’s on the front range or City Market on the western slope. Just a hint, it pays to check the markdown areas of your local grocery. You’ll be surprised what you will find. That’s where we, on several occasions, have found pork to make our breakfast sausage.
