Chris's Ribs On The Smoker - July 26, 2025 - ( 2-2-1 method )

-


 This is weather permitting for sure. I am not sure if I can smoke for 4 - 5 hours in the garage.
They say not to do that.

Set smoker up early in the morning and plan on starting at 11 am. This way you won't be
rushed and end up with chewy ribs. Plan on using your bbq for the last hour at 225F. 

                                                                 SCHEDULE

2 hours smoke @ 225 F.
2 hours smoke @ 225 F double wrapped foil. Butter, brown sugar and honey.
1 hour on the bbq unwrapped with bbq sauce @ 225F. ( use smoker if it is still hot )

I used the smoker for the last hour. The temp went down to 218. I did this for 1 1/2 hours.

Spritz with your apple cider vinegar and RO water mixture every 30 min. If you have any
left over in a bottle, toss it and make up a new mixture.

ABOVE ALL, DRINK LOTS OF HOMEBREW AND PLAY YOUR FAVOURITE TUNES!!!

Rub on my Ribs at 1 pm Friday. July 25th.

                                                      TASTING THOUGHTS

These were my best ribs yet. I used Bulls Eye Guinness bbq sauce. I used a whole bottle on
2 ribs. I didn't need to go to 3 2 1 as these were done just right. NOT FALL OFF THE BONE.
I am doing ribs when Ottawa comes here the end of August and a final smoke in October
sometime, weather permitting of course.

Chris's Ribs on the WSM - Saturday, August 30, 2025

  Ribs 2-2-1 The weather is warmer on Aug. 31st - 25C, today? 21C. 2 hours smoke 2 hours in foil with brown sugar, honey and 4 slices of butter chunks. 1 hour in butcher paper with bbq sauce on the bbq. I usually don't have much heat left on the smoker, so that is why I use the BBQ.                                                             Day before after membrane removal, add Rib rub. Completely cover the Ribs fully. Toss in a bag in the fridge. An hour before smoking, add the other rub or what you have just to freshen them up. When your chimney starter is completely white, pour it all around the charcoal in the WSM instead of pouring them in the middle. I see when I am done that I am not getting them all burnt through like the middle ones.                          ...

Kings Landing IPA - Extract - Monday, October 2nd, 2017

Eleven Gallons - Carboys My first all extract brew in over 20 years. It will be interesting if I get a big hop aroma with no water treatment. This is an experiment for brewing in the winter. I may be able to do a full mash brew next week as the weather seems to be quite warm. 20 lbs. United Canada LME. 40 g Chinook - 12.3% AA @ 60 min. 60 g Chinook - 12.3% AA @ 10 min. 56.70 g Chinook - 12.3% AA @ 0 min. 113.4 g Chinook - 12.3% AA - dry hop ( 56.70 g in each keg ) 45 g in each carboy.  US-05 ( Usually 40, but this OG is way higher than expected ) I really don't expect a lot of extract twang using bulk malt extract. I don't remember it from back in the day, but certainly got it from those over priced kits. I smelled twang when I added it to my water in the kettle, but it went away later in the boil. I did not taste it in the gravity sample. O.G. - 1.068 - ( Promash said 1.051 ) F.G. - % - SRM - 7 ( May be more because of boiling 100% extract for 60...

Les's Helles - Sunday, June 15, 2025 ( Conical )

    Ingredients 22 lbs. Rahr 2 Row 1 lb. Munich 9 108 grams Hallertauer @ 60 min. 4 sachets 34/70 at 66F  Various experiments suggest that you can get a real nice beer using lager yeast at 66F.  I went to various people on You Tube and they all say that fermenting a lager at 66F worked out fine. Not an award winning Pils or just a plain lager, but a good beer and that is all I want. None of them had a water profile however. Went to another guy on You Tube and he did exactly what I want to do. Said the beer was really good, so it is a go. He sure had a lot of SS brewing stuff jammed into a small area. Knew his stuff. O.G. - 1.045 - 78% F.G. -  1.006 % -      5.12 SRM - 3.5 BU - 25.5 Mash Volume - 10 gallons Sparge Volume - 10 gallons Water Profile - 4 Dog Brewery CA - 50 MG - 10 CC - 68 S04 - 68 PH - 5.30  MASH Gyp - 2 g CI - 4 g Eps - 3.7 g Lactic Acid - 3.9 ml  BOIL Gyp - 2 g CC - 4 g Eps - 3.7 g Lactic Acid - Sparge - .4 ml I have no i...
