MacKenzie Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I am ready and waiting for the IT to get to 147F. Done. I used the KK cold smoker for this cook. I can tell you when the fire seems to be dying down in the smoker a very small shot of air from the Milwaukee Compact Blower does wonders to revive it. Most of the smoking wood was whiskey barrel wood and some maple. When things were done I took the top off the cold smoke and in a very short time it went wild, BTW the air pump was still connected. Tomorrow I will slice, package, vacuum seal and freeze. Edited August 11, 2017 by MacKenzie 7

tony b Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 Looks amazing, MacKenzie. Got me motivated to thaw out that pork belly in my freezer to start brining, but I'm going out of town for a couple of days, so it'll have to wait until I get back. @Aussie Ora - and Yes, Santa should bring you a cold smoker for your KK.
MacKenzie Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 Guess who's camera battery died so all we have is one shot of the ends of the bacon. The tasting is tomorrow. 5
CeramicChef Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 Bang! You hit that dead center. Beautifully done. Need some help tasty? I volunteer! 1
MacKenzie Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 CC, thanks, I am already looking forward to breakfast. I know it smells very good.

MacKenzie Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Shuley, between you and me we have most things covered and if we add in CK and his preserves and we are covered. We should be abandoned on a desert island. Edited August 12, 2017 by MacKenzie 1
Shuley Posted August 12, 2017 Report Posted August 12, 2017 Haha. I am in!!!! Now the problem of transporting our KKs!!! 1
MacKenzie Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Posted August 12, 2017 Here is the first tasting, I just hope the next batch turns out as well. 8

MacKenzie Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Oh, Tony, of course you are invited and you just know that Shuley and I would love your beer. Edited August 12, 2017 by MacKenzie

tony b Posted August 12, 2017 Report Posted August 12, 2017 My Homebrew Club's annual festival is next Saturday. I have 3 beers to pour - Belgian Trippel, Purple Crack (Blackberry Wheat with Taz Pepperberries), and Chocolate Imperial Stout. There'll be over 130 different beers there. My club alone will bring at least 100. The other 6 Clubs coming will bring lots of tasty beers, too.
MacKenzie Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Posted August 13, 2017 I am pretty sure Shuley and i would be very happy with that selection, we'd never get bored.
FotonDrv Posted August 13, 2017 Report Posted August 13, 2017 I think I tried to eat the screen!!! Mac, that looks beyond good 1
