The Pub / Re: What's the Weather Like Where You Are?

« on: February 10, 2013, 06:41:01 pm »

We had about 5" of snow last nite...the ground was warm and they said it was 8 inches....
I think they fudged some but even so it was welcome moisture that was sorely needed.
high mountain desert. They have already implemented a "call" on the water in the N. Platte river.

All Things Food / My new Love affair with Pho

« on: February 09, 2013, 02:22:19 pm »

Damn we have this little restaurant and I cannot get enuff
of the Pho Ga....The man has taken a shine to us and is willing
to help me make some. I looked on the www and found many
recipies (Euge says good pho a closely guarded secret) but none
seem to match what the proprietor says he makes his from.

Now to find some huge beef marrow bones and vietnamese cinnamon
thinking I am goin to sub some amber belgian candy for "rock sugar"
....ahhhhh
my new comfort food!

Goat cheese would be cool. I know there are a few goat farms around here, I'll have to look into it. I work for the Dept. of Agriculture so somebody at work must know.

I saw Farmageddon....gulp....

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Solera beers

« on: February 03, 2013, 04:02:26 pm »

Revival of an ole thread....Ron, have you sampled this style yet?
I missed this post somehow and want to contribute. I have a
good solera beer at last pull 1.5 year old cherry brett lambic in oak.
Still getting good reports after all this time.
It is now well over 2 years old and I need to soon make another pull
when I get 2 mt corny kegs. I think I shall soon retire the oak......
I think I shall retire myself as well....half wages do not lend well to brewing costs.
