Duck Fat Biscuits & Boar Sausage Gravy…

By brian | Published: January 29, 2012

“I have seen the face freedom and eaten it.” – Eldridge Cleaver after schtupping Pat Nixon. My nephew gave me some sausage he had left over from a boar he shot a few weeks ago. I wanted to do right by it. This morning I cooked up a variation of my biscuits and gravy recipe. [...]

My Encounter With At Least 2 Robert Anton Wilsons

By brian | Published: January 14, 2012

Boingboing has been running some great pieces on Robert Anton Wilson in honor of the 5th anniversary of his death on 1/11/2007. It’s been fun reading the likes of Ken Goffman and Paul Krassner reflect on Wilson, explaining why he’s so important to them. It’s all made me uncomfortably nostalgic and forlorn. My personal interaction [...]

Closed System Wort Chiller for the Homebrew

By brian | Published: November 30, 2011

It’s getting cold here in Weedwolf’s Shitcago. In fact, today the lake front was shut down and manned by Escalades. I saw snow fall from the sky. I pulled the long underwear from my lingerie drawer. All this means that my previous method of cooling our wort with a displacement chiller spitting upwards of 75 [...]

Pan Fried Bone Marrow

By brian | Published: November 29, 2011

It would really hurt to put hot, liquid marrow into a syringe and shoot it into your arm or eyeball so Michael Ruhlman has this satisfactory alternative for using bone marrow to activate your pleasure centers: “To cook the marrow, roll them in flour till they’re completely coated and sauté them in canola oil over [...]

Gordon Strong’s Technique for Force Carbonating Homebrew

By brian | Published: November 22, 2011

It’s the 11th hour and I need to get this beer carbed up for Thanksgiving. I’ve basically got about 20 hours to get this stuff to a decent level of gas. So I’m going to force carb them. Force carbonating is a black art, elusive and highly subjective in it’s execution. I’ve tried several techniques, [...]

Put Thanksgiving In My Face & Then Leave Me Alone.

By brian | Published: November 21, 2011

Our country of fat fucks are about to hit their annual apex of indulgence and I couldn’t be happier. You see, I fancy my self a fairly learned sensualist. Certainly, at times, my adventures slant nearer towards escapes than escapades, but I’m comfortable with my batting average. And what kind of sensualist demands perfection anyway? [...]

A Mash/Boil Screen Has Made Homebrewing Much Easier

By brian | Published: November 14, 2011

I’ve slowly come to realize while building our brew system that the tools and techniques compiled to create our beer are as much a part of us and our creation as the finished beverage that comes out of it. And, like every good work of art, this one, too, will never be finished. Transcended, maybe [...]

Remember, Remember the 5th of November

By brian | Published: November 4, 2011

As much as I like turtles, I like history even more. So, in honor of tomorrow’s celebration of Guy Fawkes’ Night, where apparently a large demonstration is being planned on the steps of Parliament, I thought I’d post a little historical note on the beloved terrorist. In 1604 Fawkes became involved with a small group [...]

Positive Progress in the Hunt for Fenugreek in Homebrew

By brian | Published: October 26, 2011

Ok, so I finally got to the end of the two-week alcohol extraction of fenugreek seeds that I found digging four pages deep into a google search on fenugreek and maple syrup alternatives. The experiment was successful though I did need to make some adjustments. I wound up using twice the amount of vodka as [...]
