Forgot to mention that I also picked up a cheap corncob while I was at the B&M for days when I want another bowl. Came in handy today as I had offered to let the guy that told me about that place try some of the Plum Pudding I bought today.
I just got home from his house, had a bowl of the C&D Autumn Evening. While it smells good, as most aromatics do, I didn't care for the taste so much. It was fine, I just wouldn't go buy a tin of it myself, but I didn't hate it.
I also decided tonight to vacuum seal my C&D house reserve and put it away until next year. I think this one, I'll try it once a year and reseal it after to allow it to continue to ferment anaerobically. The only downside is that I'll never be able to remember how it tasted when first opened or be able to compare it to itself at different stages of fermentation.
