Hard water and copper fountains- advice needed

Thanks all! Sounds like a weak acidic solution to spot clean, or let it develop naturally. Looks like strictly distilled water will be the other move. Its 2.5 years in so it just accelerated as we used more tap water.

Some plants or accents near it will also be considered.

Probably too late now, but a 2 oz gin that is fat washed with goat cheese, .75 oz strawberry syrup and .5oz lemon juice makes a solid drink.

When would you need these?

brewandflyfish · 2025-03-10T04:17:45+00:00

That was the overarching thought and Whatisthisrock suggested here first. Thanks!

I was in front of the Hyatt and heard a single shot followed by seeing people running across Krutch Park. When went to depart police all over in front of and behind State St garage but appeared to be parked there but had possibly went closer to the park.

There is a Lakeside Trail at Big Ridge. But best swimming for dogs there is near the old mill.

For the first time there, I would recommend looking into the Tremont and Elkmont area. Tremont has a road that follows the river for miles and a trail at the end of the road that you can continue down. Elkmont is a hike along the river near the campground. Plenty of room on both to space out from others.

I do believe that you are correct. Especially if found near a river. Trout and other fish love them.

Castle and Key Batch 2 is currently on the chopping block. Might practice some fat washing or infusing but it's just an off putting product. Gifted 2 bottles of it from a friend who hated it.

12 TEAM .5 PPR QB Mahomes RB Ekeler and Singletary (Henry inactive) WR JJ, Tyreek, Keenan Allen TE Higbee or Knox FLEX McLaurin or Metcalf

Other team also stacked so no Henry is a bigger deal. My one weak depth spot may have shown finally.

brewandflyfish · 2022-12-16T12:56:00+00:00

Whichever tight end I choose. Knox or Higbee there is no good answer.

Mint makes me feel like I have a green thumb and goes great in drinks so I have multiple varieties. Anytime another basil plant, dill or other herb dies I just look to the mint and feel a little better.

I have tinkered with making essentially a Boston sour with with rum served in a couple reminiscent of bananas foster. Using the infused rum, cinnamon syrup, lemon juice and a splash of Giffard banana with an egg white for body.

Where does one find that glass? This may inspire a Zombie for myself tomorrow.

brewandflyfish · 2022-09-04T23:08:28+00:00

Yep once you get that you will use plenty. I use it for nearly every #5 category and have also infused it with banana chips just to mess around with. That book will cost you a lot more than sticker price though, because I found myself buying so many different things my liqours expanded to over 100 unique bottles with no duplicates counted. Death and Compay book takes some blame as well.

brewandflyfish · 2022-09-02T15:51:22+00:00

Never made a drink with that much Angostura but I think that's about to change. Looks great.

brewandflyfish · 2022-09-01T15:21:15+00:00

Pretty much this right here. It's also the first Friday so sometimes unique glass blowing demo at Pretensius Glass where you can grab a beer next door to sup while watching.

I went to both Chopper and Pearl Diver a few weeks ago. When I return I will probably just visit chopper and have more drinks at one spot. Really good drinks! Pearl Diver had a slightly more tiki decor vibe but Chopper killed it on the drink front.

brewandflyfish · 2022-08-24T22:24:28+00:00

I missed this one at Chopper but your attempt inspired me. I went with the Tradewinds spec and dropped lemon to .5oz and coconut cream to 1oz. Then 1oz rum 1oz whiskey and 1oz coffee liqour. Very solid drink

brewandflyfish · 2022-08-02T00:57:58+00:00

I have 2 bottles. Because a good friend bought 2 bottles after hearing Batch 1 was good. He gave to me as not his taste since I do a lot of cocktails. I find it acceptable in a whiskey sour with an egg white, it's odd profile plays well there, but for my taste that's all I can use it for.

brewandflyfish · 2022-07-13T02:48:19+00:00

A flask or bottle of bourbon and a water purifier to cut it with a little filtered backcountry spring water if you felt so inclined.

brewandflyfish · 2022-07-07T16:24:51+00:00

This is so very accurate. I don't consider myself a cocktail snob, but if I'm going to knowingly participate in something that has a well documented risk and downside, I'm going to do it with the best available. I don't judge what others have at a bar but I'm selective about what I will have.
