ghostofdavid Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 My favorite "hard cider" is called Woodchuck. It now comes in a variety of flavors, but original is my favorite. I believe it comes out of Vermont, as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ive never tried a hard cider. I've tried Moosehead Lager, which is a cider I believe... I wouldn't put it in my hookah though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 This may be a little too much apple, but I want to try drinking some hard cider while smoking this recipe. That may or may not fly especially since I have no clue if I will like hard cider or if it will just be a matter of too much of one flavor. There may be enough difference in the tastes that it may be nice.Ifound out my local produce stand gets fresh apple cider around August. Hopefully I can get a hook up on fresh hard cider. I really don't want to try making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Woodchuck hard cider comes in several flavors. I picked up a 6 pack of "amber' and "Granny Smith". The amber was okay, the Granny Smith was too tart right out of the bottle. It tasted like it had lime in it. The amber worked fairly well but the stuff is like "Mike's Hard Lemonade" or any of the Smirnoff malts and other assorted sweet stuff out there now. So a regular beer was more to my liking.... UNTIL it dawned on me that the Granny Smith tasted a lot like a margarita. I like those. So I have ice from Sonic drive-in for making margaritas in the smoothie maker and the stuff tasted pretty good when it was slushy. It is WAY too hot here in Texas to for the hot tub so my second favorite spot is my studio, especially if I am just hanging by myself. My boom mic stand worked really well for holding my hookah hose so I didn't have to stop picking to hit the hookah I would not want to smoke that way all the time though. I set the hookah behind the little Roland amp and any drink on a desk in reach BTW. Just putting the stuff there to get a group pic was a little uncomfortable. The Woodchuck is only 5% so it made for a good light buzz plus the hookah. So IMHO the Woodchuck amber is okay and if you go to the trouble of making a Woodchuck Granny Smith Hard Apple Cider Margarita then that is a pretty good accompaniment to the recipe.

looloopoopie Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 That setup is absolutely ingenious. I wish I worked in a studio just so I could smoke and mix at the same time >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I worked in a studio just so I could smoke and mix at the same time >.<[/quote] Thanks. I like having my study convert to a studio. My study is setup with antique furniture and I wanted it to look like it was from the 1930's or older. Finding the right piece to hide all of the gear was the trick. I lucked across this Bevan Funnell solid mahogany piece that was made to look like an old dresser or something. but it is a small entertainment system. I used double sided tape to mount the LCD panel, the PC is in the bottom of the cabinet. My Boss BR-864 digital studio wireless keyboard and mouse, tube preamp and a couple other little gizmos stay up top. When I am done I just put the little Roland amp in the bottom with the PC, unplug the mic put in (stand and all) in my armoire, put up the guitars and I'm back in the 30's. Well, except for my wall rack I made for my acoustics that I have not taken down yet. But I am getting there. It is pretty fun to kick back with the hookah, that was a first for me up there. Now when my buddies come over to jam we will have another toy I guess Here is what the studio looks like opened and closed. It takes me literally less than 5 minutes to setup and take down. The one pic with it opened is right after I set it up. There are more cables to keep track of now. Maybe this will give you an idea on how to pull it off around your place.
