 Got Beer?
#8405699 - 05/15/08 03:12 PM (6 months, 4 days ago) |

About 4 weeks ago too late I got pissed off at
the beer prices on the market.
Seeing as how I enjoy the finer Brews that are
available,I started seeing a change in my paycheck.
I.E: broke alcoholic.
So I decided to invest my drinking money into
making the beer that I wanted.
After 3 1/2 weeks of fermentation and chilling
I now have 4 large buckets of beer and they are
EXCELLENT!!.
Its Thursday and I am taking a long weekend to
taste test.I will never buy beer from the store
again!

I distill my own alcohol but I mostly use it for my organic chem experiments. Its 200 proof and 100% alcohol so its really to strong to drink.

There are cheaper prices out there
I bought the whole kit and then some and
used plastic buckets to ferment.

The real question though, is do you drink your beer straight out of said buckets?

I bought the kit to see if I could do it and right now
I am researching what it would entail to actually
do a beer straight from malt cereal and fruit etc.
www.mrbeer.com was where the kit came from

Time to till the back yard and tell the wife
I`m making her a garden.
my dad always plants a huge garden, and I promise this will be the best thing you can ever do for yourself.
for a about $75 you can buy enough seeds, bulbs, and starter plants (like tomatoes, pepper plants, strawberries, herbs, and flowers) to grow a really nice and beautiful garden.
The food you get from your garden will taste better than anything from the store.
Grow more than you can eat fresh and learn the art of canning. Canning your own food means no nasty preservatives and you know the food being used is fresh. Seriously, my mom cans tomatoes and they make the BEST spaghetti/marinara type sauces. she also cans green beans with new potatoes, GOD that's so good. My dad also makes this awesome salsa using all the ingredients from his garden. Tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and cilantro. It's not chunky, like pace picante cuz he uses a blender, but it's still a very nice consistency and tastes so good. My mom cans the salsa, but there's really no use since we used to eat it faster than she could can it. Then there's homemade pickles using fresh dill and cucumbers. OH and don't forget pickled beets. I know, it sounds nasty, but they're actually REALLY sweet and taste so good. Nothing beats a salad from the garden, with fresh spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, red onions, herbs, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
I swear, once you taste home-canned vegetables, you'll NEVER touch a can of green giant again, if you can help it. Plus, it'll give you a valid reason to have the pressure cooker and mason jars laying around LOL
But the BEST was still my mom's homemade strawberry jelly. GOD that stuff was like heaven. My dad used to have two large gardens, but since my sister and I are grown, he cut down to basic staples and no longer grows strawberries. My mom has used her same strawberry jelly recipe with strawberries she got from the store, and even though it was better than anything on the shelf, it still wasn't as good as the ones that my dad grew... I believe it's because they have well water and the nutrients from ground water were better for the plants then spraying them with tap water.

My parents really didn't have extra money when I was growing up. Everything was invested in their big house with 13 acres. My dad did a lot of extra stuff on the side to make ends meet. He was a farmhand, people paid him to clear lots, then he would cut up that wood and sell it as firewood in the winter (I bet I'm one of the few people here who knows wood is sold in "ricks")
When I was a kid I used to be embarrassed b/c we had to can our own food and I didn't want to go with them to sell it b/c I was afraid someone would see me, but I guess that's just how kids are.
I guess I should tell my parents I'm thankful now for all the hard work they put into everything.

This is as well how I grew up for the most part.
I had to put myself through college,left the farm young
went out and found shitty work,busted my ass!
Then I got older and found a way to make my peace.
Now all I can do is wounder how I can get enough land
to have what I had before.
Hopefully you can inherit what your family worked so
hard for over the years.
And don't feel bad about being broke,we all started off
that way. We will reinvent ourselves a number of times throughout life.:)
