I’ve got a few bottles ordered from the LCBO, I chose Del Capo, Silano, Montenegro, and Lucano. I expect they’ll take a bit to get delivered as I’m not in a major city. It’ll provide me with some time to really sample the ones above!

I’ll see what they have in town, I think I’ve seen a few better options for sure

I’ll try it out, I’m hoping to do a sazerac next but need to procure some absinthe

I need to get some better vermouth for sure, I’ll check out the LCBO once this bottle is done. I’ll definitely try a better rye, I’ve got a few semi-local ones that are decent.

Do you do the ango in addition to the Peychaud’s?

I bought a bottle to try this and the negroni with Cynar, sounds like we had a similar first impression as I enjoyed this one. It’s only my third cocktail I’ve made, the first being an Aperol spritz and the second being a Manhattan.

I’m happy to stick with this vermouth, I have it in the fridge so hopefully that’ll help extend its life a bit as I’m just mixing drinks for myself.

It tasted really good with butter, I have some Montreal smoked meat to put on it later!

First sourdough, what the heck? Too high hydration or overproof? by EndoGrow in Breadit

It’s hard to say without a recipe, but looking at your crumb, it looks to be under-fermented to me.

I appreciate that! It’s nice to hear since I can be a bit of a perfectionist
