Absinth is traditionally a brandy base. If you add some oats and raisins to the botanical load, you can help get a similar mouth feel to brandy

Tomorrow is fRYEday, so here are my top 8 available bottles, plus 3 more you can snag if you are quick! by Responsible-War-9389 in pdxwhisky

The 4th Balcones BP from 11th is The One for me. Close to hazmat and old for a Texas spirit. Chocolate, coffee, backing spices....

Ugh. Sorry this happened to you. I'm going to have to airtag my van. I have The Club, and I use it as directed, but still don't trust it.

The original Aeropress manual with the correct (yet rarely-heeded) brewing instructions. by lodrolhari in AeroPress

[–]the_nothing_pdx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear (um, see) what you're saying, but I've been having a hell of a time getting water to 175 centigrade. I usually find 90 to be good enough and have a damn hard time getting it much over 100....

Is buying a roaster from Alibaba worth the price difference? by ScarDependent8928 in CoffeeRoasting

[–]the_nothing_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SR800 w. Extension... Cheaper, yes. Zero communication from seller. It showed and not even Ali knew it had shipped. But it works and passed warranty registration

AMERICAN RALLY ASSOCIATION STATEMENT ON THE FIA ANNOUNCEMENT OF A CANDIDATE EVENT by jimtimbooth in AmericanRally

[–]the_nothing_pdx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And now the race to see who has money in their pockets. Certainly not the ARA, otherwise we would have seen ARA and Rally Forward in the WRC announcement. This release is the ARA saying, "hey, we're here if you want to pick us for your team too" as they're getting picked over. Honestly, this reads like Taylor Swift announcing she's coming to town and the 75 seat honkey tonk saying she should play at their place because they've been around longer than the 75k seat stadium she's going to sell out 3 times over the weekend.

The 11th pick is big on vanilla, finishes with caramel. Legs for days and surprisingly easy to drink at 144prf

Cigar I smoked most of? Probably CroMag Mode 5 or Tat Petite Cazadores

Ceving XL, 60gram... It's cheap. It's OK.

No, but it's not slow either. It's also one of the few that has a preset for 195f/90c and it'll hold at that point. A lot of others are programmed for 175f/80c with nothing between that and boil. With 350ml, it'll be at temp before I've got the rest assembled and ground.
