Home Winemaking (Part I)
In this video and the next few videos that follow we’ll be documenting our first foray into vinification (winemaking). We’ll be using a winemaking kit for this first experiment, making an Australian Shiraz. Part one will include preparing the primary fermentation. In later episodes we’ll cover secondary fermentation, clearing, bottling, resting, and finally tasting. Please share your thoughts and comments. Thanks!

Build an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) – Part 1
In this episode we begin an Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) project. I’m investing some serious time and money in this build, as I expect to own and use this smoker for years to come. Parts and cost lists will be posted and linked to selfsufficientpath.com once the project is completed. We’re also using and reviewing a new step drill bit made by Neiko in this episode. 2″ 550F BBQ CHARCOAL GRILL PIT WOOD SMOKER TEMP GAUGE THERMOMETER 2.5″ STEM SS RWB Neiko Titanium Step Drill Bit – 1/4″ to 1-3/8″ in 1/8″ Increments, 10 Steps Wire Rack and Small Cart 3″ Caster Kit – 4 Pack – 3/8″ x 1-1/2″ Threaded Stem
Making Summer Sausage with SSP
Today we’re using a summer sausage kit, a grinder which attaches to my Kitchenaid mixer, and some venison and pork loin to make some tasty summer sausage at home. The results are outstanding. Now if we can just have a successful 2014 whitetail season, maybe we can make some more to give away as gifts.
And so it Begins
And so it begins! My lovely wife, Mrs. SSP, started the canning season tonight with green beans. Way to go babe!
