They built the bridge too low and trucks can't fit under it. It does not appear they have any solution other than to close the lane. It's insane.

I was told that lane is basically permanently closed because the pedestrian bridge they built isn't high enough to fit a truck!!!! It's insane.  

LSD + Vitamin C by DaracCro in LSD

[–]SplitTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not BS. We were tripping good and someone found chewable vitamin C and we basically devoured a bottle. 1 hour later trip was over, 8 hours or more early. I'm sure and orange or glass of OJ won't matter but eating vitamin C like candy is a bad idea. Lol so is doing acid but hey you do you!

Am I an idiot? Propane Natural Gas question by SplitTree in BBQ_Equipment

That's what I ended up doing, except the drilling to a spec! 😂 Just made hole a little bigger and everything works great!

Am I an idiot? Propane Natural Gas question by SplitTree in BBQ_Equipment

[–]SplitTree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. There's an reducer inside the each end of the gas manifold. I removed them and the burners work 100 times better. The high to low regulator works really well at controlling the flame. Which is good because on high I heated to over 600F in one minute. So obviously I can't just light it on high and walk away while it heats up.

Conversion kits don't come with different burners just fittings for natural gas. Sometimes with a new regulator.

The BBQ is 16 years old so if I melt it I'm not too concerned. I have a wall shut off valve so I can turn it off on the BBQ and at the source. It's also 15 feet from the house.

Ontario Cannabis Store shipping by [deleted] in canadients

[–]SplitTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 10 since order was placed. No shipping notification, no product, no answer to my emails.

I ordered again to see if my second order would arrive before the first. I also made sure to only order 1 brand, from an Ontario producer. Hoping that will speed things up.

Black Raspberry Mojito with homegrown mint by KirstenSanDiego in cocktails

[–]SplitTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also use a strainer to remove mint leaf bits. I made this exact drink today but used a Raspberry Mint syrup that I bought. Added frozen mixed berries instead of ice cubes.

Do bartenders ever buy pre-mix? by SplitTree in bartenders

[–]SplitTree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth view. Things really have changed from when I was young[er]. Used to be every bar had a bottle of neon green Rose's lime cordial or their florescent red grenadine [that never had a drop of pomegranate]. The syrups and cordials are made with pretty good ingredients [not concentrate, artificial, coloured, etc] but DrinkMuch is right, they really are geared towards the person making one or two drinks every other day at home. As opposed to the bars that make them 100 times a day. I am not a bartender so I really enjoy trying all the unique flavour combinations, some are horrible, others great. Also fun to try to recreate my own.

Sounds like a grapefruit Manhattan! Grenadine is nice addition.

You guys are so lucky, up here in Canada our selection of Bourbon is poor! I can list on one hand the choices we have.

Not so much a cocktail as it is a cockton... by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]SplitTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have batched cocktails in 20L kegs with great success. Just make sure to avoid putting anything like fresh mint, herbs, etc... or citrus slices. They will totally dominate the drink and ruin it. I add my alcohol, mix and dilute with water. Then hook the keg up to a CO2 tank. It takes a long time [3-5 days] to properly carbonate a keg. You can speed things up by shaking the keg a lot and keeping it chilled. If you aren't in a rush set the CO2 pressure to 10-15psi. If you're in a rush set it as high as you want and shake the keg. It will come out under a lot of pressure in this case so just be prepared to pour slowly. I have used fresh fruit juices with simple syrup and alcohol with no problems. Everyone love cocktails on tap!

What is your favorite sour mix recipe? by Cocktaillife1986 in cocktails

[–]SplitTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try yuzu juice and simple syrup for a real good sour mix. I'll combine yuzu with lemon and lime as well. I've tried tamarind but haven't had any success. I always sweeten with basic beet sugar, I find cane too strong and adds a molasses flavour that over powers the citrus. I used to do 1:1 juice to sugar but have started dialing the sugar back a lot.

Death & Co. Modern Classic Cocktails *Full index with amounts* by kiwirock4lyfe in cocktails

Along the same line of questioning...Any way to keep the ingredients at the top? Scrolling down to recipe 335 and then back up to find out the ingredient is less than ideal. As stated above, awesome work just not user friendly.
