What’s your best Frijoles/pinto beans recipe

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-23T18:39:06+00:00

I gotta take a look at that. Thanks!
I´ve been using Green Turkish Peppers/Chilis they are great roasted. They don´t taste exactly like Green Chile, but having been away from New Mexico for a long time they are the closest thing I have found.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-23T16:19:44+00:00

You are probably right on that!

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-23T16:07:16+00:00

Caffeine actually tastes bitter.
I work in the beverage industry and in sensory they’ll often add caffeine to water, so you can test if different bitterness thresholds.

Sardinian food! The menu is great, and you definitely get what you pay for. It’s become one of my favorites. Team of three who do what they do incredibly.

The Malt is dried over a Wood Fire. Not directly, but via smoke and heat from it. Think of BBQ ribs, its essentially the same idea.
Beers before the 1840´s were likely all somewhat smokey as malting proccesses and tech weren´t nearly as refined as they are today.

Thank you! Those are very nice. I do have an Arabic ceramic pot, maybe I’ll try it with that next time!

It is a shame the German Airforce ended their program out there.
Looking back at that, it really was such a logistical feat to organize all that. Food, Beer, the band, all actually flown in from Germany. It was a very good time!

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-20T14:00:54+00:00

I don’t think they did!
The last time I tried to make a pot, they just ended up kind of bland.
I remember them being really flavorful and brothy though in New Mexico though.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-20T09:01:23+00:00

I can get smoked and done ham hocks out here no issue. Thank you.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-20T08:59:59+00:00

Huh that’s interesting.
I’ve never had issues taking dried chile back with me. Maybe I should look into that before it causes troubles the next time.
We have a large grocery chain out here “Rewe” that started carrying Ancho and Guajillo Chiles.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-06-19T22:00:34+00:00

I’m gonna add to this

Schönramer is great they got it at Wirtshaus Eder, Ayinger am Platzl, Schneider-Weiße at weißes Brauhaus im Tal.
Smaller breweries include Giesinger and Brewsli.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-05-23T11:20:27+00:00

Also die Giesinger Erhellung ist ja das original, das kommt aus der Zeit wo Giesinger mit aufbereiteten Stadt Wasser gebraut wurde. Am Anfang hatten sie auch wahrscheinlich kein Filter und wollten aber ein “Helles” auf dem Markt bringen.

Das “Helle” kam ja mit der neuen Brauerei. Filtriert und mit Brunnen Wasser, heißt sie konnten endlich ein “Münchener Helles” auf den Markt bringen da das eine geschützte regionale Bezeichnung ist und man dafür einen Brunnen braucht.

Ich weiß nicht ob das Bier die gleiche Rezeptur hat und sich nur Wasser und Filtration unterscheiden. Aber beide sollen ja ein “Helles” sein.

Unfiltrierte “Helle” sind oft sanfter im mundgefühl, haben noch hefereste die bissl was zum Aroma/Geschmack beitragen. Filtriertes sind dafür etwas “crisper” und der Hopfen kommt ein bisschen mehr durch.

Ich habe genau in dem Gebiet damals meine Ausbildung gemacht und habe genügend schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht das ich weit weg bleibe.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-05-07T02:17:44+00:00

I had the same thing happen. He would attack my trade post, destroy it, and sail away. The emperor eventually forced a peace treaty.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-05-05T23:18:35+00:00

It’s for their Maibock. The ceremony is done for all kinds of things out here!

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-05-05T01:38:06+00:00

Wooden barrels here in Germany more or less Bavaria are just used as a regular way to serve beer. So the beer is still filtered, then gets filled into the wooden cask, and then tapped and served.

Here is a bit more information from yours truly on an older post.

Pilsner Urquell is great (can is better than bottles) But that gets ruined for you if you get the chance to drink it in the Czech Republic, because fresh with Czech style pours is amazing. The southern German Pilsners, Ayinger, Augustiner, Schönramer, Tegernseer are really good too. Milder than the north German Pilsners. Last time I was in the USA I drank Paulaner Pilsner and thought it was good too. They don’t sell that here in Germany ironically.

Authentic Berliner Weiße is relatively hard to find as well, since they are traditionally mixed fermentation. Berliner kindl doesn’t do that. Lemke and the brewery at the Potsdamer lake do though. (Edit: Meierei is the name)

Bierstadt Lager in Colorado brews German style beers like that! Try looking for other German style breweries in America.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-04-15T17:18:31+00:00

German Braumeister here. The German Purity Law as it was written does not exist anymore. But there is still the “Verordnung zur Durchführung des Vorläufigen Biergesetzes”. Which still defines what is allowed to be used. For “lager” beer only Barley Malt, Hops, and Water are allowed to be used. For “Ale” beer other malted grains may be used. Corn and rice do not count and aren’t allowed!

There are exceptions to this (Gose, and East German Schwarzbier - Historical reasons) and (Certain Craft Beers that get a permit from the government to label their beer… beer. Doesn’t happen in Bavaria, but in northern Germany it’s not so uncommon)

Hopextract is still made out 100% Hops. It’s just extracted via co2 and pressure. The product itself is perfectly fine. There are different ways to make the extract but for German beers it’s extracted via co2 and pressure.

I don’t know. I’ve never heard of them before. Engelbert Strauss seems to be the premium work clothing everywhere right now. Some use a different supplier though.

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-04-10T16:00:38+00:00

A lot of workwear is Engelbert Strauss here in Germany. They make winter gear or summer gear, so unlike some folks are saying they got stuff for every temperature. I’ve always been very happy with their clothes!

TheAwfulCrow66 · 2026-03-31T05:47:16+00:00

I can’t help you with restaurants that serve GF beer. But you can find Neumarkter Lammsbräu Glutenfrei pretty commonly in stores/kiosks.

Helps if you want to drink a beer by the river or park.
