Rairdog's Smoking, Drinking, Brewing, Cooking and Growing

Hell yeah, Rairdog! Loving the title of this thread too, haha

Hahaha sounds amazing

Word

Thanks all!  Red ale is good but time to switch to a lighter amber lager...long day
 

 
I have been stuck on reds and ambers. playing with c-60, chocolate malt and roasted barely.  Ring a ding!

OK...I'm gonna admit.  I use a cheap Big Chief elec smoker..for 20 years.  It is perfect for fish an jerky but sucks for big meat pork, brisket and pork.  I have to finish them in the oven.  But I have burnt up 4 smokers over 30 years and the big chief keeps going.
 


 
The turkey is 165 and the ham is 145....perfect

Got some seedlings started for the cool weather in the Aquaponics. Brassicas (Bok, Chard, Kale), celery, spinach and lettuce.
 
Soaking some hots today in 1 to 10 hydrogen peroxide.  I usually start hots mid march but these seem to lake longer to mature in my zone so I started a month early.  Otherwise I run out of room in the GH and get tired of bringing it all inside.
 
Also made up some new tags.  I get about 100 tags that last 3 to 4 seasons out of a plastic garage sale sign from HDepot for $3.  I can make them wider so it's easier to write on, shorter so they fit under the humidity dome and punched so they can be wired to the stem when transferring to dirt.
