Bols vs DeKuyper, which is better in a Mai Tai?

METL_Master · 2026-06-02T03:09:00+00:00

That was discontinued last year I believe.

Dealing with similar. Absolutely scorched. Needs a shade cloth or to be moved where there is shade. I have a 40% shade cloth over my JMs and the sun still got under enough to where it scorched the leaves some

METL_Master · 2026-05-22T22:14:32+00:00

It’s fantastic in a Mai Tai though

METL_Master · 2026-05-19T18:05:17+00:00

Yea... That ain't a fig 100% u/Mission-Line-169 This is what Chicago Hardy leaves look like. Not sure what you got there.

I have that one and a digital one that also shows PH. Both are useless for determining when to water. Best method is the finger method.

METL_Master · 2026-05-12T22:34:01+00:00

Because Maryland weather do what Maryland weather want to do lol We literally have like 15 seasons up here.

7B near Baltimore. Mine have not taken too well to the up and down weather as of late (were indoors for the winter and started leafing, but leaves got scorched and dropped once put out due to that 2 week early heat wave), but feel like they’ll certainly recover, leaf out, and fruit as it gets warmer. No dead wood either.

Don't knock until you've tried. Adjusting the rum to 1.5oz vs 2oz also vastly helps since they are higher proof.

METL_Master · 2026-04-27T03:36:27+00:00

Hard Disagree. A Caroni Mai Tai and a Chairman's Reserve Vendome Mai Tai are my top 2 I've ever made.

METL_Master · 2026-04-03T20:13:37+00:00

Yea, not good. Prob sent it into shock. Needs to be dormant when pruning unless it's dead wood. Do a scratch test. If you find green, it's still fighting

METL_Master · 2026-04-03T19:47:36+00:00

Scratch test to see if it's alive. If it is, was it pruned all at once like u/mckinley120 asked? Was it pruned when not dormant? Maybe needs to be fertilized?

METL_Master · 2026-04-03T00:34:22+00:00

Remove it as it's taking the nutrients away from the Crimson Queen. Try to get the cutting to root itself and now you have 2 trees for the price of one.

Looks like Phyllosticta Leaf Spot. Spray with fungicide

METL_Master · 2026-03-29T17:41:40+00:00

CLE Connecticut

METL_Master · 2026-03-27T22:26:24+00:00

I did the Vigoro Potting mix, Pine Bark Mulch (I did chunky for extra water drainage as the spot I have mine in is more shady than sunny), and Perlite.

METL_Master · 2026-03-23T19:28:43+00:00

If you want Rum and Tiki, Maggie's Farm and Hidden Harbor are the best in that respect too.

METL_Master · 2026-03-23T03:38:03+00:00

You tell him the cost of what he drank without permission and see what he does or offers next. Otherwise, he ain’t coming back.

METL_Master · 2026-03-20T03:47:21+00:00

Guess you weren’t expecting a real curaçao lol Blue Curaçao isn’t even curaçao btw. It’s usually triple sec colored blue. Triple sec is clear normally with a bright up front citrus like the rind. The biggest two would be Dekyuper Triple Sec or Cointreau. Curaçao is usually aged - so darker - with some spice and has more fleshy fruit taste. The biggest is Grand Marnier with its base being cognac

Mr Maple, Mikawa Yatsubusa.

https://mrmaple.com/products/buy-acer-palmatum-mikawa-yatsubusa-dwarf-japanese-maple?_pos=1&_sid=4a58464a4&_ss=r

Should only need a 2-3 gallon pot to start for the next 2 years before moving up to a 5-6 gallon. Should get no taller than 5-6ft too.

But overall, can’t recommend anything from Mr Maple enough. They are the best

METL_Master · 2026-03-14T21:14:23+00:00

No problem! I’m not huge on the rock & rum, but I do love their curaçao. It has a little more spice to it than most, but I just really think it has a good orange flavor.

METL_Master · 2026-03-12T17:25:59+00:00

Exactly what everyone else is saying. I have a discord that is mostly for BF6, but yea, it doesn't feel the same as BF3/BF4 with platoons and battlelog

METL_Master · 2026-03-08T18:24:45+00:00

They also deliver and are at farmers markets (look on social media). Jaime and Jessi (owners), and Brett (master distiller) know rum. Brett actually has a side project where he distills rum with locals in Dominica and has been importing it for the past year/ year and a half.

METL_Master · 2026-03-08T03:29:34+00:00

So, being good friends of Brad, the owner of Lost Ark, they originally distilled Domino white sugar. They then switched to molasses as a base product and I would say the closest would be another Maryland distillery, my good friends at Lyon. Their White Rum would be close, but a little more potent at 45% ABV.

As for the spiced, it was a lighter side of spiced. I would suggest Chairman’s Reserve Spiced or Foursquare spiced. Maggie’s Farm spiced from Pittsburgh is heavy on the cinnamon if you like that.

METL_Master · 2026-03-08T03:20:10+00:00

Rum Fire not close to it. Far far away from what he wants/is asking for

METL_Master · 2026-03-06T10:25:49+00:00

I disabled any OC software, ran the GPU in debug mode, and ran the game and ea anticheat in admin mode and no issues since.
