it's the trendy thing right now, but I'm into rye too
3 American Rye Whiskeys You Should Try
The best value in rye is Wild Turkey 100 proof. For when you want to become a slobbering mess but have very little time to do it. And it tastes good too.
Lately it seems to be sold out everywhere I shop though.

The Vegan Experience, Day 3: I'll Have That Without [X] Please
What have you done to deserve this punishment? You must be a very bad man.
Last meal of 2011?
@ToveCatherine Same as you, minus the chips
Burger King's New French Fries: Thicker, Less Salty
BK is disgusting in every way.
I don't often eat fast food, but when I do I go to McDs.
Is it okay to refrigerate food that says 'keep frozen'?
Yes, for about a week.
How many do you have, and what spices can you not be without?
I'm not going to count, cause then I'd have to organize them.
Favorites are aleppo pepper and sumac.
Homebrewing: Base Malt
I recently converted to all grain, bought a three keggle HERMS. Unfortunately I've been having some electrical issues with the equipment and haven't been able to use it much. Made a rye IPA that was great though.
Love the column Peter. Very informative.
Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Old Overholt Rye
Wild Turkey Rye. 100 proof. About $21. The extra octane makes up for the slightly higher price and the taste is so much better. I like rye though, not so much a bourbon fan, so if you prefer your brown stuff sweeter it's probably not for you.
What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor?
Good vanilla is anything but vanilla.
From Behind The Bar: Thinking About Gin
What Wade said. Flavorings after distillation are just flavored vodka.
So what is vodka then? Since it can be made from various products, but claims to be neutral, it must be distilled multiple times and/or filtered. So if made from corn or barley is it still bourbon or "scotch"?
It's fun to try to come up with absolute definitions, but as long as it tastes good it really doesn't matter.
French in a Flash: Lentil and Sausage Soup
I love lentil and sausage soup. I make my favorite version with Mexican chorizo and leeks.
Now if only it wasn't 90 degrees out.
Do you like to cook or be cooked for?
Both, but if I'm not the one cooking I'll at least be in the kitchen to offer a hand, and/or passive aggressive advice.
Pizza Protips: Gluten and Water
Interesting, but what would be really helpful to me as a bread baker would be how much gluten to add to recipes with varied quantities of whole grain flour. Lately when I make a wheat or rye bread (with about 60 - 70 % AP white flour) I end up with a tacky dough that rips and I can't get a good stretchy, slashable outer skin.
If I want to use more whole grains, how do I still get good dough structure? Also, a long cold ferment makes the structure of whole grain dough even worse. I'm struggling lately, any tips?
Homebrewing Books: Yeast, The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation
Do you have an opinion on liquid vs dry yeast? My local homebrew shop stocks mostly the wyeast liquid packs, so naturally that's what they say to use, but dry yeast is cheaper and I would guess lasts longer.
Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 176: Do You Have Diet Clothes?
How tall are you Ed? You look 6'2", if not taller. If that's the case you're doing pretty OK, especially considering your job.
My measurement is the mirror buckle check. If I can see all of my belt buckle, all is good.
By the way, this, and anything Kenji posts, are my must reads. As a fellow beltline battler, it's good to hear the psyche others use to motivate (and justify).
Pizza Protips: A Different Sort of Peel
Fitting a 15" pizza on a 16" stone is a challenge for anyone, not just the inexperienced. The pros have the forgiveness of little or no drop off zone. I'd rather use a gadget that practice by throwing pizzas on my oven floor.
And yes, I have a Super Peel, and it works very nicely.
Very pretty loaf too by the way db.
Goodbye, Dumpling
So sorry for your loss Kenji.
Father's Day Giveaway: Win a Two-Pound Cowboy Chop
I could pander and say a ribeye, but for me it's still a porterhouse.

Sorry Kenji, not quite up to the normal high level of research. Hopefully you will post the scotch research you were doing concurrently.
