I'm talking about being able to stand on your property line, look straight up, and see branches crossing. If this is the case, and if you haven't already, I would…"
Carrie Cox replied to Ben Silverman's discussion 'Pumpkin Homebrew Recipe' in the group The Brewers Pub - Sit and raise your glass with friends!"If you have to replace them all, maybe a Pale and an Amber would suffice. Otherwise, I wouldn't replace them all. I would do the bulk of it with the Pale extract and then steep the specialty grains."

Thanks!"
Carrie Cox replied to David Branagin's discussion 'What's your favorite flavor (beer that is)?' in the group The Brewers Pub - Sit and raise your glass with friends!"I prefer Stouts, Porters, and Brown Ales as well as several Belgian-style ales. We brew our own beer, so I have developed a particular preference for those beers, but there are several commercial beers I like as well.

This past Friday, October 3rd, we added two new biddies to our flock. They're a breed of chicken called Ameraucana, better known as a type of Easter Egg Chickens since the eggs they lay will be shades of blue and green. We've named them (quite appropriately, I thought) "Easter" & "Bunny".
For right now Easter & Bunny have their own little crate, set up next to the larger chicken tractor, so that our flock can get used to them and vice versa. This is a common practice designed to… Continue

We were thinking about doing a big Virginia Sustainable BBQ in the Spring.
There's also a group of like-minded folks we know in Charlottesville.

Vi Dutcher said… - It was a good one! I used to do the cooking for our family of 6, have a garden, and so forth. However, now our children are grown and gone, my husband is disabled, and I work full-time in a career I enjoy. My husband now does the cooking. He calls me a "holiday cook." :) The chickens are fascinating. We've had blue eggs; delicious!
