re: Limoncello

Posted by Matisyeezy on 12/26/23 at 10:46 am
Zest the lemon, minimizing pith as much as possible. I used 10 lemons for a quart mason jar. Fill it up with vodka, preferably 100+ proof. Into the bath, sous vide set to 135°. 2 hours later turn off the circulator and let cool to room temp before straining. Dilute with simple syrup to taste and sto...

I second this method, very simple. Going to do it again soon, but last time we used wayyyyy too much simple syrup based on a recipe. I think the recipe called for almost 1:1. Gonna back it off to 2:1 or maybe even 3:1 and see how it goes. ...
Thanks for the heads up! Henckels are not my favorite knives, but they are unquestionably solid knives. I'll gladly spend $50 to have it lying around as a back-up knife....

Nate and Tree House are some of the best around. There's genuine love for the craft with a complete lack of pretension there. They just want to make beer, make it quality, and make people happy. I enjoyed these videos, but it also checks out with what I already knew. Tree House is low key making som...

How do I get put on standby as the designated Boston area contact? I don't check this thread frequently, but when I do, like tonight, and I see people drinking Tilted Barn and the Trillium/VitaminSea collab, I get sad. Drink with me, people. Please. I need to get rid of some of this beer. I have ...

[quote]Wow wonder if it will be like equilibrium where it’s all shelf turds by the time it gets down here. Could be awesome if done right to grab some trillium from heb though [/quote] Doubtful that will be the case. If I had to guess, I'd say it's more likely direct-to-consumer shipping, maybe ...

Lying arse :lol: I poured you one or five beers before at our beer garden :lol: It was a good day. I was just sad I didn't get cut early enough to enjoy one (or five) with you. BUT if y'all come up again, please text me. If you no longer have my number, you can always get me at my username...

Man, I had a college basketball game for PS3 years ago and that was the best thing ever. I can't remember what it was for the life of me. But I remember recruiting kids, and that was legitimately exciting. ...

Trillium lol It’s a hustle. Tips ain’t bad. Most weeks I only work one shift. Truth be told, it’s mostly because I love the people I work with, but I guess my W-2 surprised me this year. I figure I’ll have to give it up in the next year or so, but I’m enjoying it for now. Keeps me young. …I ...

I told my friend/manager at my side hustle I’d crash at her place while she was out of town because her dog is a ticking time bomb. He’s perfect.

Been a minute, Kim. Enjoying a rare day to myself. Was gonna make groceries at my usual spot, but then I saw a place near me had Hill Farmstead’s Twilight of the Idols on tap. Porter with coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon. And since I’m here, might as well sample a few oysters. The East Cape from Prince...
