meadpost: I had honey mead in Harald, a viking-themed restaurant, and it was an OK food drink to go with my four-course meal (paid for by someone else). I also got real drunk and started telling jokes which was not received well.

There used to be a brewery/pub here that had the gimmick of making ales with olden bittering agents instead of hops, like ye olde dumbasses in britain used to do. It was... not good. There’s a reason hops took over. I made a kellerbier once, basically a barely hopped and given a long secondary fermentation to age it and barely carbonate it. Came out great, probably the best stuff I ever made. Doesn’t travel well at all though so it’s rare to find and if you do find it outside the place it’s physically made it’s probably poo poo. Got a fancy new cleaner for my glass carboys, should be jumping on the mead bandwagon soon. Probably make a melomel so it’ll be good ‘n ready for the warm summer months.

Need to bite the bullet and get a bigger still for making actual liquor. Been hoarding all my apples and pears for the season and got enough to make a decent amount of brandy I think. A lot of the distilling books and stories I’ve read over the years say to never tell folks you’re doing it until you’ve been doing it for a bit, because they’ll want to try some and chances are your first few attempts at making something are going to turn out nasty until you get the hang of it.

The “your first batches will probably be awful” advice I read was mostly about getting recipes wrong like trying to make your own gin and winging it with which herbs and ratios to use and loving it up, kinda like homebrewing and getting adjuncts wrong. Or making something like brandy and only bothering to distill once.

in new orleans a few years ago (pre-2010s) a friend of mine was dating one of the bartenders at this cocktail place and on sunday nights we'd go in and hang out and generally screw around because it was so slow on those nights it wasn't particularly weird for dumbass hipsters to come in and try to sell their bathtub whiskey made from distilled bucket beer or whatever, it was dumb as poo poo

Probably means they hosed up their bucket-based starter kit, which means they’d gently caress up anything. I’d buy it if they had a sufficiently thick swamp cajun accent and vouched for it with “I gah-rohn-TEE it!” like that old tv chef guy. Otherwise no dice, their picture goes up on the “ATF todo list” board.

if only there was some biblical allegory for getting through a plague by staying indoors... e: oh yeah there's also matthew which is a bit more explicit about it quote:“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ... qirex fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Nov 19, 2020 |
