• BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Need advice: Small brisket on the Egg today

    My wife failed to consult me before purchasing a mere 2 pound brisket flat and she wants me to cook it on the Egg today. I've never cooked one/anything this small. Clearly, I wont be slow cooking this for 12-15 hours...but....what the heck do I do with it?

    Rinsing/dampening cigars before you smoke them

    That's the point though...the discussions have been about doing this to regular cigars...Not just dried out ones. All of us have had a wrapper split when you know you've kept a stick in perfect conditions, so the debate is around does a quick rinse help prevent that.

    What's Being Drank This Weekend

    Hands down the best RIS I've had. And it ages well too. Even this bottle was different than another a few months ago.

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    Let me quote from the book if it helps any: "For high-gravity beers, adding a second dose of oxygen between 12 and 18 hours can help fermentation speed and attenuation. The yeast quickly takes up this oxygen uses it for cell membrane maintenance and the production of some needed intermediary...

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    Ahhh yes. Didnt know about the 001 starting off. That changes my thoughts. And yea, the book says O2 after 18 hours that can lead to off flavors. What I really learned is that the yeast eat all the o2 almost immediately. Like within hours of pitching and focus all their energy on reproducing...

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    4 days of oxygen?!!? I get that you have a high gravity brew there but where did you come up with 4 days? From what I've read (and I'm reading the new Yeast book by Jamil and Chris White). Reoxygenating should only be done after 12 to 18 hours after pitching. Also why are you waiting 4 days...

    Happy Birthday Scooter!!

    Thanks Daniyal and everyone!! The good thing is I don't feel any older or not panicking turning 40 today. :) Doesn't look like that's in the cards. Wife has some surprise that entails a mini-road trip starting at 9 am. Hope to get a nice smoke in tonight.
