That's pretty spicy keef! This one comes in at 70. Just right for sipping. Not trying to fall over, ya dig? But I'm sure your recipe would come out with a much purer flavor. Less sweet, too.
Out here in the Shires blackberries -huge ones- pop up every time a bear sh*ts in the woods. The seed is spread that way. It survives stomach acid and can sit dormant in soil for years til a tree goes down and sunlight warms the soil. It's a true pioneer species.

Little Jet sleeping it off? What a sweetie. Give him a scritch for me!

It is not hard to set up another board...most secure sites are host on offshore servers and are not search engine friendly...meaning they do not show in Google search. No disrespect for current owners and staff as we all are guest here ....but on my site I used moderated accounts for 1 month at least...you had to show your intentions and earn respect to have full posting capability's...I know we are supposed to all be adults but other problems do arrive that require greater lengths of security. No one was going to walk in off the web and start kicking dirt in everyone's face...but to each his own on running their forum.

It would be some much easier for them if they did. Stinky and I were talking about this a little. If the hoard invades and there is no place to hide left, we might try to do something. Do not get me wrong both of us like it here, but if things get sideways it's nice to have an emergency plan

U know Stinky I get that "Proof " and " Percent" confused sometimes ? -- It's sipping liqour !- I don't have to brag about how strong it is -- -I tend to down play it - - I can make it strong as I want - It's a balance I want - Flavor at the best proof !-- From my Blueberry Merlot it is a far reach down to store stuff !- It's not wine anymore !-- It is for sipping at room temp !- More than twice the strength of store wine -- Only enough sweetness to bring out the berry flavor !-- U gotta get pretty high to do this !- and I don't mean drinking it !-- I'm good at getting high !

They could make it a private club with a secret hand shake. Decoder ring and all

Now that is a flu shot I might agree too there...looks inviting...I agree...always best to look to the future..a site kind of owes its staff a certain degree of protection...they work for free and are the backbone of the community. I have seen online attacks start over basically jealously or site rivalry...www stands for wild wild west these days.

I love you guys n gals. I also love feeling safe and secure. I'll ride any train til it goes off the rails... guess it's a matter of track maintenance and a strong team manning the switch station. I think we will end up all right. It feels good to know this site is inhabited by kind people with constructive hobbies and generally chill outlooks. Y'all been keeping me sane this month.

Big head todd can say anything to me and I'll listen. Dude gives mark knopfler a run for his money on all counts. I have a wicked crush on him lol he writes with an incredible sensitivity and shreds with a blue soul.

Girl U should see me rock some Baker's Sweetened Coconut flakes !-- Store lady said what are U gonna do this much coconut ?-- I said make wine and we laughed and laughed !
I put it in my 5 gallon stock pot bout 5-6 lbs of it bring her up to a boil then reduce to a simmer - We want all that coconut goodness into the water -- I usually use a second batch of water on the coconut flakes just to get the last of it --- Then It's cooled some and filtered - goes into a 5 gallon bucket and into the fridge or freezer don't matter - As we all know oil float on top water -- coconut oil get hard when cold - I take the layer of sweet coconut oil out and save it for Earl !-- Now we can make some coconut wine - add the yeast put the lid on and let it bubble away - got a bubbler on top - U can see fermentation increasing and decreasing by the speed of the CO2 bubbles coming out the bubbler --
In the grow room- more CO2 mean more CO2 ! When it get real dry - ( that mean yeast has eaten most of the sugar )-- I put the magic on it !-- Then put it in glass gallon jugs for aging !--

 

[stinkyattic]

You had me at coconut

Keef I am not saying you did anything wrong. I used to like Hopper's sense of humor. But then the 2016 election came along and he put me on the defensive with his rhetoric. People were starting to get crazy about politics. I got locked out of this site for 2 years and came back to see those people gone and this site still going strong. I don't know what happened while I was gone but it must have gotten really ugly. I was glad to come back as those other sites pretty much sucked. This forum will be here for a long time. The Admins and most of the people here are awesome.

Keef, I got a few recipes for brines I'm going to try

 

[umbra]

B1 I totally agree. I liked the guy. Been on the boards a long time. Some folks come and go and others are still out here

I had well over 15,000 posts and mod status at my old home, cannabis.com. It was once similar to what this place is now, with positivity and knowledge and a minimum of trolls, who usually didn't find the place amenable to their style anyway. It tanked when it was sold to a corporate domain hoarder. I found some of my canncom posts uploaded BY THE SITE OWNER without my permission or knowledge to another one of his holdings called ***.com (!!!!) and as you can guess, I flipped my lid. They reduced moderation as existing mods left in disgust, and in one case, passed away from the disease she was using cannabis to ease... RIP Weedhound... they didn't replace anyone and eventually it was overrun with spam and animosity and traffic dropped to nothing but bots trying to sell each other male enhancement pills lol. It's gone now. Nothing left but memories and a cautionary fable.

I got my ccw permit because of weedhopper. That's how seriously I take this

 

[Keef]

Yes I did something wrong Burnin1 -- I refused to be cowtowed by a bully !-- Just shut up !-- I coulda done that just to get along but I chose not -- I probably deserved to be kicked out several times - Wonder what happened to U ?- I Can't see U crossing the line ?--I probably did --I wasn't trying to buck management and thier rules !--I just wanted to make dam sure the thugs knew I wasn't going to be subjugated !-- Let them be somekind of shadow management ?-- No !--That wasn't gonna happen or else I get kicked out 1st !-- Not gonna be someone's servant !

 

[novitius]

Y'all gonna set off my PTSD

 

[Keef]

I got medicine for that !

I kinda caught HP's post about then getting their own servers... Seems they even got someone smart enough to manage to make that happen.
