"You can use Star San no rinse sanitiser. Dilute in a spray bottle. Like yourself, if I can do things naturally or organically it's my preference. Unfortunately the fundamental key to a healthy fermentation is cleanliness so it's critical."

Most of us can grow various bits and pieces from the garden but we still find ourselves buying plenty of food from various shops, markets etc. I quite like to cook so I don't mind doing a few extras…Continue

I've had these beetles before and they are pretty easy to control and don't do a heap of damage. I've come back from a couple of weeks holiday and the beetles are about but in small numbers, nothing…Continue

Craig Hogan commented on Andrew Cumberland's group Home Grown Liquors"Hello stranger! Nice work on perfecting the rum! I've just made a mulberry beer and to avoid infection you can cryovac the berries and take it to a boil. That will kill everything and you won't dilute or stew the fruit."

2014 Garlic Crop
"Nice, mine average about 20 grams so I'm just going to roast the lot in the pizza oven. It's still a few kilos worth but who has the time to bother with such painfully small bulbs!"

"Nice work Elaine. How big are the bulbs? I pulled out over 200 bulbs a few weeks ago but they are painfully small! Who ever named Glen Large is having a joke I think!"
Lissa commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"You lucky girl Susan, with the brothers giving you fish. My Dad is now quite elderly and doesn't fish anymore so it's all store bought stuff for me these days :( though for decades I just wouldn't touch it.

Susan commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"My dad has a smoker and does lots of seafood in it. My absolute favourite is Smoked Mud Crab - absolutely delicious.

Elaine de Saxe commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"Perhaps my questions should have been: what is a reputable source?"
Andrew Cumberland commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"I'm sure my perch as antibiotic free, with no induced colour or over-crowding.
Great post mate. I was interested to see your cure. The maple was a bit of a lesson for me too. Nice work. "
Craig Hogan commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"Well there is no wild Atlantic salmon found in Australian waters so it's certainly farmed Salmon from Tasmania. Whilst off topic, you do raise an interesting point about Salmon and how it is farmed. We see things like Pork and Chicken specify…"
Elaine de Saxe commented on Craig Hogan's blog post How to make your own cold smoked salmon"Nothing quite like smoked Salmon! Many recipes for marinate include herbs seen on TV programmes from overseas. All sound absolutely scrumptious!
