I know cubed beef works best but I just want to see some recipes, if anyone has a good one.

FTR ....^^^^ first post stated my understanding of the stroganoff "'law" 

I'm cooking it up right now. Lots of mushrooms. Smells awesome!

Ground turkey really isn't bad at all. I almost never buy ground beef. Even my tacos and, often time, my chili is with ground turkey. Now, that said, you can't fake a good old Burger with ground turkey.

A couple months ago it was so cold I actually missed the mosquitos.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: "Spontaneous" fermentation

Some of the wort stability tests I have done in the past ended up as yeast fermentation while others were bacteria fermentations. I as I see it, yeast is naturally a large source of contamination in any brewery.

Yeah, but bacteria fermentations don't look the same as yeast fermentations.

Be careful. Bad homebrew was the leading cause of dinosaur extinction.

LOL!

BTW, that is definitely a yeast fermentation going on there. Bacteria fermentations do not look anything like a yeast fermentation. Not saying something else isn't probably swimming around in there, though. 

Also, while we are on the topic, there are still breweries doing spontaneous fermentation today.

Yeah, I'm not worried about any harmful organism surviving the fermentation. If that was the case the human race would have died off millions of years ago. For thousands of years beer has been safer to drink than water, for a reason.

Cool!  I've never had any luck with that, but a friend made a great sour beer with a yeast that was spontaneously generated.

My previous attempts have been awful as well. I'm starting to wonder if some residual yeast didn't carry over from a previous starter. This smells way too clean.

Yeast and Fermentation / "Spontaneous" fermentation

« on: March 30, 2010, 08:21:41 AM »

Collected a couple gallons recently from a high gravity brew session to use as a yeast starter. Never got around to actually pitching the yeast so the wort sat around outside for a couple of weeks covered in foil. I decided to wait and see what happened and it started showing signs of fermentation this weekend. Its at high krausen now, and it smells actually pretty awesome! Kind of reminds me of a saison.





I'm going to let it ferment to completion and if it turns out half way decent I may use it for a saison in the next few weeks.

I suggest to get an air roast popcorn popper and go outside so you don;t smoke up your house. You will need to fabricate a screen to keep the grains from coming out. It works well though and you can actually get hotter than your oven and approach actual roast temps.

Alright, I'm gonna try it but with my ground turkey (and I'm gonna leave out the carrots since I don't have any).

I like it in Egg Nog. That's about it. Never cared for swedish meatballs. I do like those little swedish fish though.

If a starter is too much of a pain in the butt, use dry yeast.

Oh, come on. 15 minutes worth of extra work for 15Xs better beer. I agree for Noobs that dry yeast is the best solution but you will want to try some good liquid yeasts eventually.

I don't like swedish meatballs. I like stroganoff. My mom used to make it with ground beef and I loved it. Seasoned right I can't really tell that much difference between ground turkey and ground beef. But my colon can.

All Things Food / Stroganoff?

Anyone have a good Beef Stroganoff recipe? I have egg noodles, mushrooms, sour cream and .... well .... ground turkey. Need to do something with it and wanted to do something a little different than tacos. I know cubed beef works best but I just want to see some recipes, if anyone has a good one.
