REBLOG IF NAZIS OFFEND YOU MORE THAN NIPPLES.

I am guilty of buying this for the label. I am a HUGE Dexter fan and quite possibly shrieked with excitement when I saw this. People may have turned their heads with concern in their eyes...I will admit to nothing 🤐. Ginger predominates everything with this cider. And I mean everything. Which, for me, is sad since I don't like ginger. It isn't too much if you like the spice, but it's a bit much for me. Like everything from B. Nektar, they don't play games or pull punches. It is bold and holds no apologies. It is what it is, and even this ginger hater can't deny how good that is. B. Nektar is a meadery that I love to love.

A week ago, I tore up the hops and cut all of the bines back to the crown. Even with these cool temps, mid 50s in the hottest part of the day, this is where they’re at 7 days later. This year is gonna be a big harvest, I can feel it.

And this kids, is why you make sure your stock handlers inspect produce before accepting it! 50 pounds of yukon potatoes in the trash. For those of you not in the know, potatoes are part of the nightshade family and the green hue means they've been exposed to too much uv light have have produced solanine. Aka, poison. I am not a happy chef 😡

Kicking off the first brew day of the year with something new. We're brewing twice today, so to get through it all, we required something very light. Sam '76 pours beautifully and has a great nose, bright and tropical hop notes prevail and the delicious scent had my mouth watering. It was a terrible, terrible tease! The mouth feel is crisp and clean, the flavor lacking the sour undertones of stale piss that dominates most American light lagers, but that foul note isn't the only thing lacking. Very low maltiness with a slight hop bitterness dances across the tongue, but barely anything else. Even as it warms, the hop notes come out more and it doesn't go putrid like most lagers. I imagine we have the addition of ale yeast to thank for that. I'm not sure I've ever had a cleaner finishing beer. It is quite remarkable. This would be a fantastic hot weather beer, without a doubt. I'll wait till then to buy it again. For now, it'll do.

Confection practice. 5 different truffles. White Russian, Grand Marnier, Cookie dough, Pecan Pie and Peanut butter. I love getting paid to play all day. My coworkers love it too.

Finally! We have time to open a bottle. CBS has been near the top of my beer bucket list for years. I thought KBS was amazing, I thought KBS was smooth and flavorful and just damn near perfect. KBS is crap compared to this. This... this is amazing. The hint of maple changes so much. I thought the 750 ml bottle would be tough to get through, but I think I'm just gonna want more. Plain bourbon barrel aging will never again be good enough. 😍

[grimmlinkeeper]

CBS? CB YES

[grimmlinkeeper]

I've never been more disappointed to miss out...

Trying Bikini Beer from Evil Twin. It’s very pretty, very good flavor for a beer that is less than 3% alcohol. The bubble show id kinda amazing, even if it does drink more like soda than beer.

I have carved out my little spot in the world. I realized we attained the lofty goal of being family at a bar when we got in line to order and the manager just looked at us and said, "You know where everything is. Go get it youself".

Salumi practice. 5.75 pounds of wonderful, fatty, porky goodness. Talking to the butcher beforehand earned me a piece already trimmed just how I like it, so I didn't have waste and I didn't spend a penny on anything unusable. 5 days curing in the fridge, now it's tied and beginning to lose water weight. A couple weeks drying, and I will have roughly 4.5 pounds of yummy pancetta.

Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage

This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night

[eykonto-deactivated20260227]

I don’t know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. I’ll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & I’ll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.

[polygonfighter]

hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. We’re all gonna have to come together and step up about this.

Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily

[polygonfighter]

I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES

Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!

[bristlee1]

There is a reason that happens.  Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality.  They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate.  Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls.  IF you post about it ADD links for FS!

Reblog!!!!!!

I know I'm behind the curve, but I'm finally getting in to what I affectionally refer to as soup. This one is Morally Compromised. Like actually, that's it's name. My biggest complaint with NE IPAs is that they're supposed to be fruity and juicy, but 90% of the ones I've tried taste no different than west coast IPAs. They just look like heartburn. Too many breweries jumped on the bandwagon before they understood what they were doing. This isn't Ellison's first attempt, but in my opinion; it's the first they've gotten right.

[grimmlinkeeper]

We might be missing Texas just a little. Kolaches for breakfast (I'm getting damn good at making them, but still not as good as The Villiage Bakery) and BBQ for dinner. It was time to make another batch of sauce, since the sauce selection in Michigan just isn't good enough. If we want it done right up here, we have to do it ourselves.

Ok, you racist fuck.

Is this about my Burl Ives tweet

[wizardofsnacks-deactivated20240]

Still kinda like “hey, what was this in reference to?”

“Hey how can I learn & grow from this?”

“Hey why are you on anon?”

“Hey prolly this is just a troll”

“Hey also that was a good and funny joke I made on tweets dot com ”

[grimmlinkeeper]

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
