That brought a question in my inquisitive mind. Since corked wine bottles are stored on their side to keep the cork partly saturated and stave off the wine spoiling. Were corked liquor bottles stored similarly before the advent of screw on tops? Elderly minds need to know

Just the facts, ma'am
and only one was a declared holiday for the Continental Army in 1780. ;)
Dam I thought it was Sunday!
Good question. Spirits were kept in a barrel before they started bottling them and then they were sealed with a cork. The higher proof alcohol in spirits will break down the cork so it needs to be kept dry. Just the cheap stuff has screw caps. And every now and then you break a cork. Pour it out into another bottle or jar and fish the cork out. (or just leave the juice in the mason jar. That's a fun conversation starter)That brought a question in my inquisitive mind.

Cheers to that
So you keep your juice in a mason jar? In liquid nitrogen to preserve it?
I have a couple, yes.
EEEEWWWEEE! Speaking of which where has Rani been?
Wow that has to be a ton of work.
You can take Everclear or even vodka and age it in a jar with some toasted oak chips. It's fun. This is Wheatley's Vodka on toasted oak.

There are Tri Tips out there that need those oak chips to fulfill their life mission. 
House took 4 hours to warm up. The furnace is a little light on btu’s. 10 Kw, should be 20. But hydro service into house is only 100 amp due to buried cable.
Thats why i run the pellet stove.
shop is cold too, electric heat was off, just pellet stove running. So it went out.
Another coffee while shop warms up,then back to floor pan.

There was a time when tri tip was the main stay of ground sirloin
. Nobody wants these funny lookin' hunks of meat. Grind 'em up. When I moved up here in '80 and discovered them after some practice I BBQed some for my MIL the caterer, she loved them. I could get them for $.99/lbs here, she found one butcher shop in in a very high rent part of San Diego that had them and they were $10/lbs And some good smoke never hurts either. No, not that kinda smoke. Oak, Hickory, Mesquite kinda smoke.

Low and slow is how we cook 'em. Temp at the grill is just right when I can hold my hand at grill level over the fire for a 5 count.
