Cooking thread, anyone?

The new one is a thinner probe too.

Not sure if this fits, but I have been really trying to get on my homesteading game the last few years. Garden is thriving in spring, enjoying the primal outdoors with my camper in the summer... but was struggling with something in winter. Solved that problem by getting into beer making. I am currently planning a cream ale brew and a non alcoholic version. My equipment is improving, moving into all grain brewing, and emptying out the basement to create a nano brewery situation. I am also planning a "cooking stout" recipe for spring for the beef stew my wife loves.

I think it fits well enough. We have other types of fermentation like pepper sauces and kimchi buried somewhere in previous pages. I think once upon a time member @EbS-P may have started an entire thread here about his home brewing adventures. Maybe you guys can compare notes or swap recipes. That's out of my league.

Every year we do tend to have a garden thread in the Inglenook. I can't remember if you've joined us there before, but feel free to. The winter tends to be quieter, but some of these folks still have some pretty good production inside.

That is very cool! I don't remember getting too much involved in any of those threads. I would love to get involved in those. I think you nailed it though that winter gets quiet. I was really trying to solve that problem with homebrewing. Then trying to incorporate that with cooking interested me.

Great memory! I didn’t even remember it!

Recently I have started brewing again after a maybe 11 year break. I got pretty good at partial mash extract brewing. At the peak we were buying malt extra in 5 gallon buckets, brewing a 10 gallon batch every two weeks or so. We were making beer cheaper than we could buy milk. I have never had a bad batch (wine kits, mead and hard cider from scratch). Bottling was to much work so I switched to soda kegs.

Now I’m back at my taste have changed. I find the current IPA craze completely over the top both Alcohol content and bitterness I think are just used to cover up the fact they...

How well does the signal work through the metal lid of a BBQ? Have you tried it with a cast iron dutch oven or metal crockpot?

If you are needing distance check out Meatstick probes. I run them and the charger is a BT repeater. Set it within a few feet of the probes, for me a cast iron smoker, and you get between 500-600 feet.

ETA I didn't read the last few posts. Looks like meater is doing the same thing
