    Thanks for all comments. "Hot" = alcohol burn. Checked my notes and have an potential alcohol around 16. Hope that aging will mellow the alcohols. Sweet but not strong berry flavor. Plan to bottle in 375 ml bottles. Will let yall know how it goes. Got a mead aging also. About to start a...

    Finally tried making fruit wine. Took 4 lbs of mixed frozen berries, added 1 lb frozen elderberries I harvested this year. Crushed with sugar and added water to 1 gallon. Followed typical wine process. Started at the end of October and think it is ready to bottle. Tastes kinda hot, but...

    Fermented Pepper Sauce

    Update: Batch 1 (half gal jar) started growing a white mold or something. Flavor was off. Considered a failure. Batch 2 seemed to stop fermenting. Added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup vinegar and blended about 3 minutes. Let age in fridge for about a week. Bottled in 4 Oz bottles. Checked pH...

    First ABT

    Grilled chicken and corn tonight. Figured I would try these ABT's that everyone brags about. Took some jalapeño and banana peppers from the garden. Slit open and put some Canecuh sausage inside, and then wrapped in bacon. At 40 years of age, I am thinking I have wasted a portion of my life...

    How do you dry peppers?

    No split or cut. I used a heavy needle and coarse thread through the stems. Hung to dry in kitchen/dining area for until the felt brittle. Lost about half. Other half made a good pepper powder. I don't have a dehydrator. Got an o en, of course

    How do you dry peppers?

    I strung up a bunch of paprika and cayenne last year. Some molded some dried nicely. Is there a better way? I have a few paprika, sweet banana, jalapeño & cayenne ready now. Gonna chop and freeze some bells. Is it better to throw the banana peppers in with them?

    Free Barrels - worth it?

    Thank you. Not sure about powder coat around here. Do you think a body shop can recommend a local powder coat shop?

    Free Barrels - worth it?

    Contractor friend has 3 empty barrels on site I can have. They contained 1 of a 2-part spray insulation. Anybody know if these are OK to use. I will burn out and sand, but have reservations. Free is not always best.
