    Tron's Pretzel Things

    I'm happy to hear it HitLines. I also like them a bit... no, a LOT more spicy than the posted recipe. I decided to post the 'toned down' version for the masses because it is a good starting point. If you like it more spicy, it is easy to make that happen. Tron

    Tron's Stromboli Recipe w/ Pictures

    Prep Time (for dough): At least one day in advance. Meal Day Prep Time: 30-45 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Cool Time: 1 hour Total Time: Eleven-teen-seventy-fourrrrr-ish-dibillion... I don't know. This, like all of my recipes, doesn't count time... it counts effort and love. Those things...

    Tron's Pretzel Things

    Yeah, that sounds good too. I think you can include just about anything that has some sort of texture to it so that the flavoring will stick and it also needs to be able to handle being in the oven at 250 for about an hour. Bagel chips and chex should be just fine.

    Tron's Pretzel Things

    Great, happy to hear that you all liked them. The current version of the recipe adds Cheez-It's and sesame sticks. Around thanksgiving I added pumpkin seeds and they also went over well for everyone that tried them.

    Looking for a good Cranberry Apfelwein Recipe

    I have made 18 gallons of apfelwein so far, but for the next batch I would like to try something a little different. Has anyone successfully made a cranberry apfelwein batch that would like to share the recipe? Tron

    Bacon

    NewBlood, I hope that I am not asking for any of your trade secrets, but would you mind sharing your recipe and smoking technique for the first timer? I have an el cheapo brinkman charcoal smoker now, but don't really care for it and would like to upgrade to perhaps what you have?

    Pizza Dough Struggle

    Boo boo has already posted a link, but it bears repeating. PizzaMaking.com could be considered a HBT for pizza. Tons of people, ideas, recipes, techniques, etc., all about pizza. My pizza game has stepped up significantly since finding this site. Pizza Making Forum - Index

    Sterilize Dextrose?

    I have two open bags of dextrose that I would like to use to make some apfelwein. It has been open for a while and I wonder about how sterile it might be. I could just throw it out and buy some more, but I prefer not to waste it if possible. Can I boil some water and dissolve the dextrose in...

    Tron's Better Bottle Warmer

    All in all, not a terrible idea, but my reasons for not doing that are: 1) I didn't want to cut my stopper or sanitize the heater. Also, if you want to adjust the temperature, you have to remove it, turn the dial, and then re-sanitize it to put it back. 2) I didn't want to risk the...

    Root Beer - How to force carb?

    What type of tubing should I be looking for at McMaster? I did a search for beverage tubing and I was seeing prices $2-3 per foot. There are many to choose from however and I did not look at them all.

    Diet Root Beer?

    Just curious if you have tried it without the honey. I would like to cut down on sugar / calories as much as possible and still have something that is drinkable.

    Diet Root Beer?

    So if I understand correctly, it takes 10 cups of splenda? Where do you get such a quantity and how much does it cost?

    Diet Root Beer?

    I am diabetic so I try to stay away from regular soda. Has anyone had any success making root beer or any other soda without using sugar (sucrose) but have used an artificial sweetener of some sort? Do the soda pop bases that Midwest and others sell contain sugar? Tron

    Proper Gravity Testing Techniques?

    Why is a refractometer only good for OG and nothing after that?

    Midnight Brisket

    Hey T, That brisket looks delicious. Your regular grill looks kind of like my new Char Broil Pro. For some reason I was in a spending mood and bought the Quantum with Infrared heat. So far I have made pork loin, ribs, sirloin steaks, brats and some burgers. I am wondering if you would be...

    Proper Gravity Testing Techniques?

    Well, let me back up a little further. What else would I want to be testing besides SG? I want to know the SG so I can check progress or stop a batch at the proper SG. I also want to be able to calculate ABV. I actually own a refractometer for my saltwater aquariums and it should cover the...

    Proper Gravity Testing Techniques?

    Ok, thank you for the advice. I would assume that the tested sample is discarded and not returned to the fermenter?

    Proper Gravity Testing Techniques?

    I am just getting into wine making and would like some advice on gravity testing. I see that hygrometers and refractometers are available but don't know which one to choose. If I get a hygrometer and test jar, what is the proper way to use it? What do you do with the test wine you removed...
