The Chronicles of Chronickyle 2021

[Chronickyle]

Hello everyone welcome,

I have decided to put a thread together where I will post updates as to what i have going on, I have to many plans to have individual journals. I will still update seed run journals that I do specifically but will have extra updates in here.

In this thread there will be indoor growing, outdoor growing, organics, hempeys, hydroponics. We will be growing cannabis and a whole bunch of vegtebles enough vegetables to provide a family of four with all of their vegteble and fruit intake for the entire year. I’m sure my cattle and chickens will make it in here periodically as well. We will be making wine, giving away seeds, and lots more.

Seed germ by planting just in wet promix nothing extra.
Running tally 2021. (i will update this each time)

I sadly dropped my watering container in this little guy I felt bad so I’m giving it a fighting chance. Whatever happens happens. Of all my plants I was germing only 2 of the aghan havnt germed yet. So 2 out of 24 is pretty good I think. Just wish it wasn’t the afghan! And of course the one I damaged was an afghan lol of course!

Wow brother. Growing your own vegetables to feed your family. You sir are the man in my mind. I am pulling up a chair and looking forward to following along. Hope it all goes perfect for you.

This is some sugar maple tree sap wine that I am making I have added tannins and lemon for body and acidity it should be around 14% and is just about a year bulk aged now. Ready for bottling. There is 25 gallons of wine here.

My young bull calf Hank says hello

[Chronickyle]

@DougDawson great to have you man.

Been a home brewer myself pretty heavy into it back in the late 90’s to 20’00 I enjoyed it not much nowadays welcome to OG glad to have ya here looking forward to some of those homegrown secrets! Bring on the plant porn!

Pulling up a chair and along for the show!! Love the bull calf!

In. I really need to start growing all of our fruit and vegetables myself as well.

How many head of cattle do you have?

[Chronickyle]

I really enjoy the process of wine making I find it all very soothing, except for the bottling aspect all the sterilizing and leaning over kills my back, I’ve been considering brewing wines and putting them in a keg to get rid of that part of the process. I don’t make your average wine I like the different things. Hoping to brew some dandelion wine this year. My favorite brew so far has been a lemon base with a 4 berry blend. Dangerous stuff on a hot summers day… Thanks for the warm welcome, hopefully I share some secrets, I most likely won’t even know they are, I try to let the plants tell me what that want me to do for them

[Chronickyle]

Lots of room, great to have you

[Chronickyle]

Currently have 2 cows, bebe and faith, a bull Flynn and my bull calf Hank. Faith is his mother. They are pure bread scottish highlanders I got them shortly after I purchased my farm in 2019

If you like tinkering and more scientific approach to brewing, check out the pinned subject Brays One Month Mead (BOMM method)

[Joker]

I thought they were Scottish Highlanders. Love them!!

[Tinytuttle]

Nice! That’s actually one of the last’s things Iv brewed I like a good middle of the road traditional about 15lbs of honey per 5 gallons fermented out with dry Lavlin D47 I found the best overall middle of the road type of yeast

[Tinytuttle]

Oh that mead recipe sound delightful 1 gallon? that’s got to have a pretty high alcohol percentage … like the idea of a strong Belgium yeast used! Interesting! Sounds like the Newly purchased refractometer might come into play here as well!
