This was not my first time pickling but it was definitely a more targeted attempt than those of the past. Tonight I utilized fresh cucumbers from my own garden with the mother-in-law's brine recipe to start some dill pickles. There were also one-off's of ginger-red pepper pickles, a dill-bomb jar, one with jalapenos, and several with extra black pepper. Will keep you posted as I learn more of their progress.
other activities of note... collected hops on monday from the vineyard in Falmouth along with those grown here at the house and brewed, on the same day, a wet hop red ale with american yeast, ample amounts of crystal malt and a touch of toasted malt. Fresh hops weighed in around a total of six pounds in the whole batch!! (yes, that is a lot). wish us luck here :)
