EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[LittleLakePhil]

I have found sheds, garages, barns, and coops are never big enough once they are finished. That’s why I have started to make all my coops duplexes. Build three walls and they double in size!!!
Course, then the chicken orders double too

Yeah sheds tend to fill up quick....

Well motor is out... Now I just have to try and get the new motor to run in this truck ... It's totally the wrong motor. But I think I can get the computer to do what it needs too......

You can make some nice ACV from it!

Not sure about ACV but all apples mixed together made a real good hard cider.

And if you leave it opened the Ethanol in it will transform to acetic acid by Acetobacter bacteria to Apple vinegar! I do it on a regular basis. If you need a recipe I can give it to you.

It is a 1 to 2 months process.
I use 4 liter glass jar.
Ingredients:
1. 6-8 Appels
2. 150 gr sugar or honey or half half .
3. Boiled and left to cool water.
M.O
Wash the Appels ,cut them to qubes and put them in the jar.. Put the sugar or honey in a bowl and melt it with some hot water, and put it in the jar. Add the cool boiled water to fill the jar, leave 5 cm from the rim empty. Stir the jar content firmly cover the jar with a piece of clean cloth and leave on the kitchen counter. Every day you need to stir the jar and re -cover it with the cloth, reapit the process 10-18 days, after 10 days tast the mix it should have a strong taste.
Filter the apples from the mixture, discard them, and return the liquid to the jar, cover with a clean cloth, and apply a rubber band. Place the jar in a dark place and within a month, a month and a half you should get apple cider vinegar.

So if I take the remaining jars of hard cider and let them set out covered for a few months they will be ACV?

Un cover! The cloth is letting the oxygen in but leavs the insects out.
The Ethanol is a product of yeast fermentation in an anaerobic =No oxygen, environment. The Acetic acid=venigar is a product made from ethanol by bacteria in an aerobic =with oxygen environment.
Normaly the first stage should be in closed jar, but I really am afraid from an explosion.

Yes by covered I was thinking a cloth with rubber band. Much like my dad made our tomato relish.

The look of the pieces behind the turkey. Part bark part wood.

Actually those are "rough" 1x4's lol
Some guy "paid" my grandfather with a truck load of them..... some are nice, like these, and some are poor quality, thin and not uniform. I do like the look of the bark on the sides
