The Skunky Dunk farm

If I wasn't so lazy ide distill it off and reclaim the 190.

It's easier than making brandy.

Speaking of!

I just started a batch of ginger mead.

 

[Cattapilla]

Oh no. It's test tubes and chemistry. I guess I'm out.

Don't be scared, it just high school science.
At least what I did in high school!

I've got 6 bottles of home made ginger ale in the fridge too.

That's a 8 gallon carboy, a 3 gallon and a 5 gal bucket. Plum, Nectarine and strawberry.

You guys are living it up!

 

[BigCube]

Lol, I dont drink much. But mead is my favorite. Ginger, then after I rack it a lemon and a bit more honey.

Going to do cherry next.

Well, expecting snow again.
It's ok though I have plenty to do inside.
4 days ago I put 44g flower in 750ml 190 proof and put in freezer.
This morning I just poured it into my MB machine and I'm running it at 130* for 4 hours.
My Orange Slice freaks out when it kicks on! Ha ha.
Babies are doing great since I moved them under the LED's, they will be ready to drop in my big bag soon.
I gave my 3 MLI gals to my son and he is going to veg them for a couple more weeks and flower them. They are 9 weeks old. He's never grown any vegged over 4 weeks. I told him get ready for a "real" harvest!

I've been thinking about getting an MBM lately. I just make butter on the stove as needed or make BHO instead of ISO.

I used to make bubble first so I could easily make consistent butter. It would be nice to make 5C of butter at once and get it out of the freezer as needed. I can't really find anyone who doesn't like those machines.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

I really kinda like the MB machine. Mostly because of its ease of cleanup, it has a built in dishwasher.
It brings back fond memories of my Thai Power Isomizer from my past adventuers!

 

[Cattapilla]

I think I will get the Ardent Lift because I will have so little to produce at once.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

I have the magical butter machines decarb box with thermometer, it can do small amounts up to 2 ozs.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

I'm gonna try the stirrer for a few, it already lost 100ml in the hot water bath.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Both gummies recipes I've got call for fruit juice or fruit puree.
All of these are pure fruit puree and lemon juice (vitaminC). So I'm gonna try them.

 

[Nobody116]

Lots of mead makers around here. My latest creation (recipe not mine)

I’m going to be making a 3 gallon blueberry peach cyser soon. Hope it turns out yummy.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Wine making is fun, I get endless supplies of fresh fruit from steady source!
In fact the room that consumes my Vinter hobby could be a large flower room.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Well, I fell asleep last night and didn't get the gummies made.
I did get the tincture reduced from 675ml to 550ml. Should be a little more potent.

I used to make a spicy, strong drink for cold nights at the renaissance faire with brandy, honey, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, cloves and lemon. It was cheaty compared to yours, but it was delicious, and the bottle would be empty coming home. We called it Woo Juice, or Gypsy Joy Juice. Because after a swig, you'd be exhaling, "woo".

I'm Irish, pass the jar

Man my new seedlings in the Dixie cups are kicking booty.
They'll be ready to drop in the bag soon.

Sooo,,, that gummy adventure is a bust.
All was good untill I added powdered sugar at the end to coat them and it turn to syrup.
Hmmm. Next recipe!
