Yeah, they can't spell "Whisky".

Post #19,632 by CRConrad 11/28/01 11:03:05 AM Reply	Yeah, they can't spell "Whisky". Or did'ya mean "JB" isn't Irish? Then what is it? (I'm fairly sure it isn't real Whisky, anyway.) Murkin Beuhbunn, perhaps? (And what the fuck does the Royal House of France have to do with some nekulturnyj Colonial maize-brew anyway?!?) Oh, who cares... I only drink the Grouse, anyway.

Don't care for the stuff myself, but then, I'm the one who's unhappy that he can no longer get Doppelkorn Schnapps [the old-fashioned, pure-quill stuff, not the wimpy pepperminz c..p] Regards, Ric

Post #19,756 by Ric Locke 11/29/01 8:47:56 PM Reply	Armagnac? Fancy name and since I can't get doppelkorn, I shall simply have to find a car old enough to have a solid-brass radiator [funny, a couple dead ones right outside the window; fancy that] and go into business for myself. Hm. It's been awhile, and it's remarkable how many things are on the market today that look, er, really handy for such an enterprise. Especially the newfangled notion of deposit/return propane cylinders -- the gas ring from an old water heater, with about three-quarters of the slots closed up, connected to an RV regulator and a five-gallon cylinder, should be just the thing for gentle heating of, say, a fifty-gallon vat. Foo on woodcutting. I shall save my mesquite for barbecuing... by the way, clear corn-squeezins, with a bit of black pepper and a few other useful spices, makes a marvelous tenderizing marinade for venison. Co-conspirators? Regards, Ric

Post #19,783 by jb4 11/30/01 9:05:07 AM Reply	The trouble w/ Apfelkorn... ...is that it's too sweet for day-to-day drinking. It's very good on occasion, but it's not for front-line getting smashed.... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)
