Update

Well, I started pickling a bunch of stuff all around the same time so stuff is piling up. My kosher dills are ready and tested. Apparently I've never had a kosher dill before and was quite surprised at how they taste...a lot different from vinegared pickles....and ferment-y. The beets and bread & butters should be ready within the next few days. Preserved lemons are also ready, but I need to find recipes to use those in and that's not happening right now with finals around the corner. Also, my beer is now ready to drink! Perfect for finals ending soon! Looking to start my next brew, I picked up "Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew". It's supposedly full of all homebrew award winning recipes. I think I might take a class from the local homebrew shop and, maybe, join the local homebrew club so I can actually talk to someone about this. I'm a visual learner and there is only so much I can read.

I'll let you know how everything else turns out!

  1. Fermenty, huh? Now we're going to have to taste one here, admittedly not hand made, to check that out!
    Lookin' forward to reports on ALL the other things! Maybe not all on the same day though. Can one OD on pickles? Does that make one pickled? Is beer a cure? So many questions!

  2. Beer tastes really good...low on the alcohol it seems, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be like that. B&Bs are also really good, though next time I'll probably up the sugar since these were less traditional ones.

  3. Yay about the beer-that's a long process from start to drink, so, good that you were rewarded-maybe also good about the low alcohol with those big bottles?! I do love the traditional B&B's!
