I'm laying into stock a variety of recipes that involve cooking with rum...generally, a dark rum. But in your considered opinion, would gold serve as well? What would consitute a good cooking rum. Keep in mind the fact that, being a lowly librarian in Reale Lyfe, I'm looking to combine my cooking rum and drinking rum in one label. Being as I am a very beginning rummer (but since I am employed, I'm not an Idle Rummer), I tend towards Capn Morgan Private Stock (hey, *Bilgemunkey* likes it, so it be good enuff fer me...), but would it serve for cooking? And so ye may know what I'm planning on feeding to meself, here's a link to one recipe... http://www.grouprecipes.com…

As I am new to the wonderful world of rum, I'm searching for a label that suits my tastes. And since I don't wish to blow near $20.00 (or more) on a full size bottle, I am wondering if the company may know of sources wherein I might obtain sample bottles of rum. I already have a couple of Myers Dark, and would like to find some Appleton and Mount Gay. Can anyone help?

This past weekend I went to help Nick out with his first batch of "mini-mashed" ale. He's brewed a few times before using kits, but this was his first attempt at bringing it up a notch. We had gone out a week or two ago to shop for all the ingredients, so it was just a case of mashing (steeping) the few whole grains in the recipe, and then boiling the rest of the ingredients. He used the "Pirate Nut Brown Ale" recipe from the below book as his base, but reduced the amount of malt extract used to balance out the addition of three pounds of a really nice dark rich and flavourful honey. Anyways, the recipe was actually chosen because it looked like the best nut brown ale…

Welcome all, We're still getting set up, but this will be the sub-forum for discussing brewing, mead making, wine making, etc. etc. This will be for all makers of fine beverages (and beginners too) whether you are using modern methods or trying to recreate historical methods. Why the "Empty Keg"? Because the discussions are about what to do to fill the kegs up (barrels, casks etc.) ... Make something to put into the keg. Here's to some good discussions, shared recipes and any other topical conversation that are to be had! :angry:

So maybe we're not all rum drinkers. How about a simple DIY beer review guide for those flavors you favor most. So what beer are you drinking now and what's your opinion of it? We just finished a 6'er of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Goode, but pales in comparison to Anchor Steam's Christmas Ale. I feel, the best of the holiday seasonals so far. A friend gave us a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock for Christmas. Can't wait to break open it tonight....

I know the name of it doesn't sound all that appetizing, but this is, hands-down, one of the best-tasting meals I've ever eaten. I have yet to find anyone who doesn't LOVE this. It's terribly unhealthy, but SO worth the extra calories and artery-clogging ingredients. Don't try this unless you're prepared to become a tomato pie addict! Now that tomatoes are ripe on the vine, I thought you'd be want some recipes to use up those extra 'maters. We make ten of these at a time and freeze them to eat all winter long. ENJOY! Tomato Pie 1 1/4 cup flour 2 Teaspoons of baking powder 1/4 Teaspoon of crushed basil 1/2 Teaspoon of salt 1/2 Cup of solid shortening (I use butter C…

We started a batch of honey mead a couple of months ago following this recipe for simple mead. I would highly reccommend it to anyone interested in trying something like it. We sampled it immediately after it started fermenting, and were not horribly impressed (but the recipe warned that would be the case). Now, about two months later -- I really shoulda kept better track -- it's some right tasty stuff. Personally, I'd put it up against any other mead available on the market. We have two additional batches going (one with cinnamon and one with strawberries) that have finished fermenting, but not clarified well just yet. We should be well-stocked for TRF, methinks.…

A couple of things, first the bad news. it's been over a year since Pusser's as changed the proof of their rum from 47.75% to a measly 42% alcohol, has anyone noticed this? You can't find the good stuff anywhere. I drink so little rum these days, but I have always looked forward to this once-potent spirit, which, I can recall, was so pungent that the fumes alone were intoxicating. It had the characteristic of an industrial-stregnth cleaning solution meant for hospitals and institutions....yes it was THAT potent. You treated it with respect. On an unusual note, I found this bottle of Hurricane Rum for $19 for 750ml. This is one of those peculiar insta…

Was wondering if anyone here has ever tried their hand at making their own alcohol { ETOH}? our plum tree is seriously overloaded this year, and in an attempt to use the fruit without waste, i have decided and am currently brewing some home made plum wine......small scale-- got a near gallon going... i am not afraid of the chemistry... LOL..because basically yeast grows and redoubles itself every twenty minutes.... yeast eats sugar and pees out alcohol-- when all the sugar is consumed, the yeast, from swimming in its own waste, dies and you are left with alcohol-- the more sugar you feed it, the richer in alcohol content you have !!-- if yah bottle it …

Ministry of Rum One of the articles: The Tradition of Rum and the Sea You just can't beat sharing a rum drink with friends on a boat at the end of another perfect day in the tropics. Add the excitement and anticipation of the elusive green flash when the sun dips below the western horizon and you'll experience one of the great pleasures of life on the water. This scene doesn't end, however, when our brightest star is gone from sight. It continues to be played out westward around the globe as sailor…

so i was sitting here thinking about hardtack and wondered if there were any records of what was aboard any of the ships of the era for food.. (pirate, merchant or naval) and what a daily alotment would have actually been. we all know about the rations of rum, but i mean how many pounds of barrelled pork, how many pieces of biscuit. were there dried beans or rice aboard? now before anyone jumps in and says pirates would have taken it off a captured ship, well yeah- but what is documented that they took. I'm looking for things like blackbeards treasure that was on board the adventure as recorded by maynard. a few pounds each of sugar, cocoa, coffee or tea and some meats…

The above titled book Just came into the library. There are some nice photos of cooking utensils and containers (going back to RHJ's inquiry) There are chapter on foodstuffs, eating habits , food preperation and concepts of diet & nutrition. Each chapter is broken down into sections, sometimes regional sometimes by nationality influence or foodstuff. It covers a period between 1567-1825. It is a wide range of time but they do indicate which foodstuff etc is in use during which period. Also just in The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture v.7 Foodways. Lots of intersting historically facts relating food and food customs. It may give an idea what Blackbeard woul…

I am hoping that a generous pirate on this forum will offer a hand to a marooned buccaneer. I am trying to find an online retailer or good soul that can obtain and ship a bottle of Jack Tar Superior rum to Texas. The manufacturer has confirmed that they do not have and have no plans to obtain a distributor in the Lone Star state. Of course, I am willing to provide plunder by Paypal (or whatever means needed) to secure a bottle and well-packed shipping. The object of my (binging) desire: Any assistance this new pub-poster can get will be IMMENSELY appreciated.

They sure knew how to party in the late 1600s. Admiral Edward Russell's 17th-Century throwdown Think you can drink like a sailor? Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what that truly means. The record for history's largest cocktail belongs to British Lord Admiral Edward Russell. In 1694, he threw an officer's party that employed a garden's fountain as the punch bowl. The concoction? A mixture that included 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of Malaga wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg. A series of bartenders actually paddled around in a small wooden canoe, filling up guests' cups. Not only that, but the…
