Fire belly dancing performance at night during the "We are not fools!" challenge. Each kingdom present at War chose their Fool to represent their Kingdom with a short performance (my Kingdom of Æthelmearc shared a very funny Monty Python-ish fencing sketch) to show their Kingdom was not foolish at all... with this professional performance as the cap of the night.

This is a once a year challenge organized by the mid-level archers inducted to the Order of the Scarlet Guard.

    I found an Enterprise 2074 at my local flea market. Getting ready to clean it up and use it. It’s really dusty but in pretty good shape. It’s missing its liner but I figure I can find something that will work. It’s basically just a steamer basket. I hand squeezed some of my Concord grapes the other day. Some from the vine and some from 2023 that were in the freezer. I will use the press to get remaining juice out when I strain my must. Grape vine leaves have tannins in them that are good if you are making wine. I leave a couple in for primary fermentation. I recently saw an older Italian gentleman on UA-cam teaching his grandson to make wine. He left the stems in for tannins as well, though he wasn’t using concord variety of grapes for his wine. I like to do all natural old school. I make my own yeast starter with fruit during the week of primary fermentation before going into glass carboy with air lock. Thanks for sharing

    Is dit een anaeroob proces? Oftewel, mag er geen zuurstof bij de fermentatie komen en is het daarom noodzakelijk dat het deksel goed sluit? Of is het deksel alleen om muggenlarven/algengroei te voorkomen zoals eerder geschreven?

    Help please! My mixture turned creamy like yours but after sitting for a while a clear liquid raised to the top. Its currently boilling and has been for several hours. It is sudsy but isnt anywhere near yours. I came across a recipe before yours that said to use 1 cup fat to 3/4 lye. So i used 3 cups lye and 3&3/4 cups lard. My lye floated an egg without condensing. The lye was also strong enough to make hydrogen. Is my soap ruined?

    @MrMcGillicuddy 9 місяців тому

    thanks for the video. I have a question. Does the ratio you used change if I used tallow instead of olive oil? have you make ash soap with tallow? I only use tallow on my skin and I've made really nice balms with clarified deer tallow. I get 20 lbs or more a year from my deer harvests so figured it would be cool to turn it into soap as well as balm. it's really healing stuff. the melting point is super high almost like beeswax practically lol it makes a good candle too actually

    • @annep.1905
      @annep.1905 2 місяці тому

      You could experiment and find out, but I believe that the ratios stay the same no matter which fats are used. If you use a stronger concentration of lye, your soap should come out more solidified, but it might anyway because you're using tallow instead of olive oil. Adding a little honey or ACV will give it a nice lather.

    I bought a very similar 2 gallon press at a local flea market. It cost about $50 and had a lot of surface rust. I think these presses are not very hard to find. I had seen them for years at flea markets, but I never needed one until I bought an old apple grinder. With the apple grinder and my screw press I can make apple juice easily. Soon I will use it for making grape juice. It was rather tedious to clean up my screw press, but it was well worth it as it now looks really nice. I used sand paper and steel wool to remove the rust, then I painted it. It took maybe 4 hours of work...........

    This was excellent in the step by step explanation of how you do your pit fire. Very encouraging. Well done. Clay not dry enough, thr roof coming down on it, or tossing something in a bit hard, but I think the method is solid. I would swap out stone floor for fired tiles. You could just fire tiles for the purpose, then you have a flat floor that won't crack like stone.

  • @BadDriversOfNapa

    This is interesting because I actually overfired my test pieces in my first real pit fire attempt. My test piece melted, slumped, warped, bloated and blistered. I observed the piece glowing yellow, and I estimate that I got it to about 2,100 to 2,200 degrees F. Then I again, I was using forced air induction. I was blowing a fan into the air inlets at the bottom of my "pit" brick, open top fireplace. That was my problem. I was feeding too much air into the coals and fire making it burn too hot. In my subsequent testing, I didn't use forced air induction and my pieces seemed to fire around 1,800 to 2,000. They rang when I tapped them and have the beautiful terra cotta coloring, so they seemed to fire properly without forcing air into the inlets.
