AAASTINKIE is HERE!!

[AAASTINKIE]

This dark beer has been aging for months, it was the last two bottles,
too bad, it was smooth but bitter, really good, beer ages well, went
great with a few steaks and Mastas hot sauce!!

 

[PolishWineP]

Nice looking beer and beef! RE: the labels, I like the first one best!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Stablized and fined the Dandelion wine today, It tastes HOT, I think
that's what HOT means, kinda like Alcohol, the bactch with rasins is
14% ABV, the batch without is 15% ABV. Seven gallons total, I used
Super Kleer to fine.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

While I was at it, I bottled the Buttery Chardonnay, I took a taste of
it and it was SMOOTH!!! I'm not a big wine drinker but this stuff was
good as far as I could tell from a sip, ran a case down to the bottle
lady for her approval.

Stinkie"


the label is great but the clarity of the Chard is exquisite. Nicely done.

Strawberry Jam day here, picked this morning, made jam this afternoon.

PS I snuck in a mountain bike ride in between picking and canning...what a nice day in Maine...."don't get no better than this"

 

[Pepere]

Hey Stinkie, I noticed in the first Pic Ms Polly was missing and there were two substitutes in her place, one "A-Jacks" and "Di-Al."I thought maybe she had abandoned you in your time of need.

Imagine my relief to see her back on the job after the jam was in the jars. She must have been taking a break.

Nice looking preserves. How do you find the time??

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I work shiftwork, had my three days off this week, I haven't got to mow
the lawn yet this summer!! But I got the important things done!! I'm
brewing a Mexican Cerveza today and maybe a Nut Brown Ale.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I just smoked some shrimp on my Cookshack smoker for the first time, I'll never boil a shrimp again!!

 

[grapeman]

Oh Yeah, those I can taste over here in NY!

The Cerveza is very good- too bad it's not done to go along with those shrimp. What kind of wine are you having with those tasty crustaceans?


I'mgrilling some chicken with peas and new red baby potatoes I just picked. First of the season up here. Lucky they grew at all with the lousy weather this year.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Trio Blanca, what else?

[Waldo]

At what temp and how long did you smoke them Stinkie........Damn those look good podner !!!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I marinated the shrimp in 1TBS of Zatarain's liquid Shrimp and Crab
boil, and my salt free house rub (3 parts garlic, 3 cayanne, 2 paprika,
2 cummin) mixed this in while preheating the Cookshack smoker to drive
off the harsh first smoke, then put the shrimp in for 30 minutes at 250.

This smoker is one of the best purchases I have ever made!!

 

[Waldo]

Thanks Stinkie.......I am definately going to give those a try this weekend. Think I might mojo mine just a bit and see how that turns out

 

[OldWino1]

what kind of wine will go with those?

 

[Dean]

I would think that a bright pinot grigio or lightly oaked chardonnay would be best with those! Maybe even a Sauv blanc, but I think that the flavour of the smoke and prawns might take away from the citrus and grassy tastes of the Sauv unless it is quite high on acid.

oooooo! Better yet, might even be a dry reisling.
