Yes, that sounds like it's worth a try for sure.I put a cup of beer in this batch of chili. I could definitely taste it. Richened it up a bit. A little more earthy.
I always stay away from open flames after my chili. lolAnd avoid open flames?
That's definitely an *** burner but sounds good.I thought that Santa had brought me a bottle of Habenero infused whiskey.

I haven't tried it yet
With the addition of some Tomato Juice and perhaps a whiskey that is straight from the still and condenser this might make a tasty Bloody Mary type beverage.
I have to think of something, half gallon of hot sauce gonna take up a lot of beer space in the fridge
Haven't had much homemade but some is real good.Getting low on moonshine. My dealer is going through some health issues. Might have to get my own equipment. Hes pretty good. Has a little barrel he re-chard. (Is that a word?) top shelf stuff if you ask me.
Dont have that one. YetView attachment 1716031920
Has a lengthy chapter on the distilling of adult beverages.
I believe Volume 1 has the Moonshine chapter. Foxfire is like the Encyclopedia Appalachia. All kinds of interesting info from the hills in there.Dont have that one. Yet
Yep good idea.Just to be clear, he is making essential oils.
Bought time for me too. Like studying for a test before the annual check-up. LolBogle Petite Syrah over here! Thought I would give my liver a break!
with the holydays over it's a good idea.Bogle Petite Syrah over here! Thought I would give my liver a break!
No bear here but the racoons do a good job of making sure the garbage can is empty.I make some killer wine. The chokecherry crop was nil this year. We had a cold spell this spring that hindered all of the pollination. Danged bears where still looking for food clear into December. I thought they were hibernating by thanksgiving so I had the left over turkey out on the covered privacy deck.
I woke up to a ruckus about 3 am on 28 of November. Damned bear on the deck. Good sized one to boot. I think it was his last hurrah. Haven’t seen one since.
Oh… so back to my killer wine. We can grow some sweet cherries around here. My best wine is half bing cherries and half choke cherries. I leave the pits in the choke cherries for some tannin. Okay, got that covered but here is the kicker. Freezer distillation.I make some killer wine. The chokecherry crop was nil this year.

Learned it from the Hutterites. Freeze the wine before you bottle it. I use 5 gallon and 3 gallon carboys. Once it’s frozen bring it indoors and thaw it into bottles. It’s a little tricky cause you don’t want to oxidize the wine but you stop short of the water starting to thaw. Gets the alcohol content waaay up there.I know you have some of the best cherries but freezer distilling I have no idea.
