Denver Colorado tnet outing plan 2/20/14

[KevinInColorado]

You and me are going to have fun Kevin. 40 degrees is like a heatwave!! We have had one of the coldest winters on record. Its getting better but last month the high temp broke 30 just two times. We also had 8 days without making it above 20. Lowest temp... -22... When you have these conditions whats a man to do??... Ill tell you... Take all the remaining 20 gallons of the 50 gallons of apple wine that we made this year and freeze it down to thoes temps removing the slushy ice. Turn that 20 gallons into 3 gallons. Rack, and here you go. Applejack Brandy... Sorry i cant disclose the fussel and methanol removal process or what Proof it is. Lets just say you drink it with the small glasses.

GG - impressive. I too am a home fermenter/brewer and use those times I can't go prospecting to convert sugars to alcohols in addition to various ales, I have an Apple Cyser aging in the basement now (that's fermented apple cider and honey basically). I look forward to exchanging prospecting info for "concentration" info in person and exchanging samples of our respective fermentation experiments! Yum.

BTW, I will probably still go out digging for a little while today somewhere close to home. And I will find another time to do a group event when the weather is a bit more cooperative. Meanwhile, anyone in CO should feel free to go check out that spot....you'll like it, I promise!
