A very interesting person to talk to. EDENS TRUCK FARM East side of Iowa River on Highway 22 seasonal fruits and vegetables Pick your own strawberries in early summer. Cheap (about 30c a quart). Cruncy Granola 1 t. vanilla 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup oil 1 cup wheat germ 2 cups rolled oats 1/2 cup millet 1/2 cup sesame seeds 1/2 cup shredded coconut 1/2 cup chopped nuts Mix vanilla honey and oil. Pour over the rest of the ingredients and spread on cookie sheet. Bake at 250-300 degrees for 30 minutes to an hour. Add raisins. Vary ingredients to taste. Makes six cups. Serve with milk or just nibble. BEER 3 lb can Blue Label Malt syrup 5 lb white or brown sugar or honey 1 package brewer's yeat 5 gallons water Mix together; put in warm place (80 degrees) and let sit until it stops bubbling (5-6 days). Then bottle in old tonic bottles or reusable beer bottles--Do not use disposable glass bottles, they can explode; into each bottle add 1/2 teaspoon sugar; cap tightly with a bottle capper, ready in about a week. Pour off slowly when ready so yeast stays on the bottom. See Wine Arts Shop for supply information. WINE ARTS STORE AND WINE Interstate 80, Amana Exit Everything you need for making wine, sparkling wine, champagne, beer, ale or stout. All very commercial and all very expensive. I highly recomend their methods and their recipes. They are much more sophisticated than the old home brew methods and insure excellent drinking every time (better than anything you could purchase in the liquor store). However, their ingredients, being packaged in small quantities, are way over priced. So gather your own fruits and berries, try your local drugstores or the chemistry department for the chemicals, and scrounge your own gallon jugs and plastic garbage cans for fermenting, but use their recipes and yeasts. So far I have made 50 gallons of fruit wines from wild fruits I have gathered around Iowa City this summer--cost maybe 25c a fifth and it's the best wine I've ever tasted. simple and cheap fermentation lock rubber stopper on cork plastic tubing container full of water container full of wine --camden tablets are nothing but sodium metabisulfate which is dirt cheap at a drug store or through a chemical supply store--use 1 teaspoon powder for 10 camden tablets --instead of wine bottles and corks, try quart beer bottles with the screw on caps--should be good for at least a year PAGE 22
