It's just so... tangy. It does the same thing to my nose that ammonia does. It's not the smell, it's the sting in the nose and back of the throat that gets me. Cow and horse is gentle, smooth, almost soothing. Pig just stabs at the soft, wet spots inside my head >< Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Didn't know that was possible, thought they were just good for beer. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| TheCesspit Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 1929 | Pumpkin beer is nasty, IMHO. Ugh. The carrots I have grown this year taste so much better than those from the shop. Because they are super fresh, I suspect. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Don't look at me, they had to brew with what grew in Mass. FWIW I do swear pumpkins are the easiest thing to grow. I have them mostly trellaced but a few runners popped up all the way across the garden. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Totally, find fermentables, mash it and ferment the sugar for healthy goodness. Malt is just the best for it. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | I did blind taste tests years ago, and most stuff fresh from the garden doesn't taste any better than store bought. It's all in how you do the test. Take a warm tomato off the vine and bite into it, and heat up a store bought in the sun, you can't tell the difference. Same with green beans and carrots and most things. It has to be a blind test, because you want the garden stuff to be better, it will be if you know which it is. It also has to be local produce from your area, not some crap flown in from S America. Just like dumping gallon jug merlot into expensive bottles, it will fool 99% of wine drinkers. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
