Dont even know where to start with that sort of logic. Did she not see them moving around when you has the last batch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Today I have acquired/placed on order a bit of brisket for the smoker, a side of salmon for cold smoking, and some langoustines for my further adventures in genocide/ravioli making. A week of top notch scran awaits me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Castle Terrace in Edinburgh has packed it in due to COVID. Shame, was really good. Joins The Tower and a few others that have shut up for good. Hope there isn’t a landslide now of great restaurants shutting.

spud131 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 First ever attempt at bread, didn't turn out too bad. Perhaps slightly underbaked and has blown out on one side (think the oven was too hot) but actually tastes pretty good.Might give it another try tomorrow but bake it at a slightly lower temp for a wee bit longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Great effort. The blow out is the rise it's what you want to see, you can try to force it to come out the top instead by slashing the dough before you put it in the oven.I had put a small cross on the top obviously not big enough. How deep to I want to score it next time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much juice you can get obviously but if it's a decent amount, juice them, throw in some lime and a strong cup of tea. Il try to find out how much you need to get a decent specific gravity assuming you dont have a hydro meter? Then it's just a matter of lobbing some yeast in which is cheap and readily available and letting it ferment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still plenty of the things on the plants and I've got more in the freezer that I picked last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
