What’s a receipt for this looking like these days? The yard isles were friendly on the wallet this morning. basil, pimento peppers, okra, cucumber, rhubarb, and a sweet potato.

Thrift Store find: Silver and Gold or Both Sides of the Shield (1895), a symposium of the views on the currency question.

Had to hang out for a few minutes and listen to the rain, figured I’d share the view.

Chilly, rainy day. Just perfect. Now, what to do with this bucket of pears.. 🤔

Can’t beat them. As the days creep shorter, out come the lanterns. This is a Coleman from 1967.

Super active this morning. I’ll let it go like this for 2 weeks and then it’ll get racked into a secondary fermenter for ~8 weeks. During this process I’ll be able to get a first taste and check ABV. The starting potential is 15% View quoted note →

Needed another fire in my life. Couldn’t wait. #bonfirechain

Alright. Today is the day. I’ve got the honey pouring into the fermenters now. I’ve got oranges (zest and juice), raisins (chopped), and serrano peppers (sliced into rings) all prepped. Cinnamon sticks will go in during the second ferment to round it off. Think of it as a not shitty Fireball for the cold months ahead. All that’s left for now is to brew a cup of black tea (for the mead, not me) and to bloom the yeast. I’ll get some photos once everything is in the fermenters and the airlocks are on.
