    Ebay Refractometer

    yep, awesome. just dont waste your time with getting one that reads SG scale on the side. IMO they are a PITA to read as the text for both is so small and i have 20/20 vision. multiply the figure by 4 and you're generally within 1 sg point. if you want accuracy, use a brix/plato to SG...

    Attaching Qd's To A Keg?

    Freshly rebuilt kegs and new disconnects are as they are, virgins. They take some breaking in. As noted use lube, it will help. Rather than simply lifting the collar and pushing down to connect or pulling up to disconnect, i find it easier to twist whilst doing this. It makes a difference...

    Duck 'prosciutto'

    i think the biggest issue with the drying process for a duck breast is moreso around the RH (Residual Humidity for those playing at home. ;)) coupled with the thickness of the meat being the deciding factors around how long to hang it for. I also saw recipes around the month in length but based...

    Duck 'prosciutto'

    Once the duck breasts have been packed in salt, cover with lids/cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours. Once 'cured', rinse the dusk breasts from the salt and once again, thoroughly dry with paper towel. The colour would have changed slightly and look somewhat darker/richer (in some parts...

    Duck 'prosciutto'

    So ive recently been infatuated with making my own charcuterie, predominantly those with primal cuts before i begin investing in sausage/salami making and the effort required to knock out a batch. So far i have made some real belly bacon and most recently duck prosciutto. If you love duck and...

    Pork Rolls (bnh M)

    This is the only thing i miss about moving from Abbotsford back to Thornbury. I have however inherited the best charcoal chicken shop on the planet. You get a half chicken which is always ultra moist, enough chips to feed a family of 4 and equally as much salad for a mere $9.90. B) I know...

    What Are You Brewing III

    Holy smokes! 740g of hops! For the same volume i was thinking 340g of hops was OTT for my latest IPA. Heck im scared to see what your imperial IPA are hopped at! 100G per L? :icon_drool2: What are your losses like?

    Shattered Erlen Meyer

    after the amount of flasks ive boiled dry (or close to cleaning them etc) ive come to the decision to only use them for culturing, boiling of wort and cleaning of my current flasks is all done away from a flame. This will probably continue until i notice an infected starter but so far so good...

    Have You Ever Been Shaved By Another Man?

    Had my shave virginity taken in Vietnam for 50 cents AUD. only after the shave did I start thinking about HIV infections or having my throat slit! :rolleyes: I must say i loved every minute on it. On the way home via singapore I stopped at mustafas and got myself a double edge straight razor...
