My youngest brother brother just left. He brought over a gallon of his home brewed hard apple cider for a test run. 18% is all you get from fermentation but...what a good 18% it is. Sneaky stuff it was. Too sneaky for a Sunday night! Hope I get this right. One-eyed typing was never my...

Every time my wife sees me dealing with the after effects of pepper intake, she asks me why I continue to torture myself. In the past I'd just wipe the tears out of my eyes, smile at her through the pain and mumble something like "but it's so good". She just doesn't get my penchant for...

What do Dale Earnhardt and Pink Floyd have in common...both of their last hits were the wall.

Prong's newest "Power of the Damager" is worth a listen. More of the same speedy, grunt metal that I expect from them.

Being from the Des Moines area, I've been privileged to watch Slipknot / Stone Sour develop over the years. Their local shows are a riot. Everyone gets it up for the local boys done well. Another Des Moines area band to watch for is "Index Case" They have had a slower start and some turnover...

Endgame rocks! It's just what I expected. No real surprises, just solid, chunky, beefy rock and roll. I do like a well placed and melodic guitar solo. Can't pick a favorite yet but "This is How the Story Ends" does get my head bobbin'

Reading this thread makes me feel old. I had my T-shirt, on front "Disco Sucks" on back "Rush 2112", in school. I flat refuse to listen to country music and survived the "Urban Cowboy" phase with my taste still intact. My very first show was Foghat/Blue Oyster Cult...$9.25 U.S. at the door in...

I'm listening to the album for the first time this very moment. I'm not quite sure what I think of it as a whole yet. The one word that comes to mind is "Mature" It sure seems strange hanging that word on it but, it's all I've got for now.

I'm a cast iron cookware junkie. Yard sales are perfect for finding the vintage stuff. Most pieces are there because their present owner doesn't know how to care for or cook in them. Even those severely neglected pieces can be brought back in to service with a bit of TLC. Folks that know me...

Alice Cooper - Clones (We're All) from Flush the Fashion 1980

Yup, It's Hot After reading through this thread, I just had to make up a batch of pepper extract. Yes, it is everything I thought it would be. And, like I said...Yup, It's hot. I added a small amount to one of my prepared sauces and find it quite enjoyable but I can honestly say that I'll...

Truly amazing. It seems as though I have a much long longer learning curve than first thought. I suppose an apprenticeship is out of the question?

Hi. To answer your question, I make my home in the City of Boone. 14 miles west of Ames on Highway 30.

All I can say is...WOW! I do appreciate the welcome, howdies and general outpouring of good tidings. As a group, you sure make a stranger feel welcome. I believe that I have found the right place. Thank you all!

Got Smoke? Good little project. Fun and the rewards are indeed special. I have a batch going as I type this. Keep it cool and never let the temp spike over 150 at any time. An average of 115-125 is ideal. Drying them all the way down this way takes a loooong time. I find that smoking long...

Iowegian Pepper-Head? Okay, what that really means is that I'm a Iowan who loves the hot stuff. I'm an annual pepper grower and I enjoy tinkering with the produce. My thinking is that there is a way to put a little heat in most any dish and make it enjoyable. This is a source of some debate...
