I'm surprised I never noted in my recipe/note file which cap marking went with which cider; I guess I always figured it would be obvious ... but with my memory! Hah! I know better!
I'm PRETTY SURE I labeled them backwards, that the Mr. Blue Cider is the one I meant to label Ginger Bastard, and vice versa. Anyway, I really like the Mr. Blue Cider, but I'm not as keen on the Ginger Bastard -- and I think the heat was not necessarily kind to the Bastard.
However, Mr. Blue seems to have come through the ordeal just fine. I'm _thinking_ Mr. Blue is the spicy second batch, and Ginger Bastard the more mundane first. Hard to say. My notes, and journal posts, are not immediately forthcoming.
Yeah, my memory sucks. But I get compensation for it, via other skills and abilities.
Out campsite at Flipside was approximately 60 feet across, and a bit deeper than that. I need to decide if I want to design a toroidial shade structure for 50' or for the full 60'. With a 60' toroid, we get a 20' minor diameter, and a 20' center space. With a 50' toroid, we can slice it different ways:
20' minor with 10' center
15' minor with 20' center
Our shade tents were 10' by 20', to give a reference size (e.g. small carport size). Hmmmmm.
Things to ponder.
Technically, I'm doing nothing this week, this being limbo week. My house and yardwork and planning are supposed to start this weekend.
We'll see how that goes.
