Brewing a hybrid of sorts today. American grain and classic APA hop flavor but with English yeast at Best Bitter session strength. I’m only going to boil 30 min as another arrow in the quiver to lower starting gravity. My 180th all grain beer since AL made HomeBrew legal.

Well done.

That’s the way I cook poultry on the 22”. Hang a turkey or chicken from expansion grilling rack, wings, thighs, legs on the grate.

Well, how did it go?

When you put it in the crock pot I recommend some liquid. I use Chx Stock but Veg Stock, a thin BBQ sauce, etc would do. Here’s to a great meal for your group!

BFletcher is correct. I would not hold it in a cooler for that long for fear of the danger zone. I would treat the cook and the reheat as two completely separate events. 1) Cook the meat and store it. 2) Reheat and serve it. If your study is at 0900 and you’ll serve at noon, consider a crock...

Brewing my take on Lee’s Bitter today

Filet, lobster tail, potato skin, and sautéed mushrooms served alongside a Dark Mild.

I used to have a blower. I sold it. I don’t do overnight cooks. (I do High Hot Brisket.) The simple approach makes me happier.

Helles
