5 gallon beer


This weekend we bottled our first (of hopefully many) 5 gallon batches of beer with Peter and Claudia. It should be something close to a chocolate maple brown ale. The bottles are now carbonating at Peter's house- it looks to be a success and we'll know for sure in 2 weeks.


























This time around we had a bottle capper- we made about 50 bottles.

Roast Duck with Sausage and Apple Stuffing a la Julia Child: Caneton Roti a l'Alsacienne

We roasted 3 ducks from the Meat Hook for Christmas, using a recipe from Julia Child. It helped to watch her episode on how to roast a chicken (the chicken sisters!).

The ducks were amazing, and the stuffing was possibly even better.
