While I have a full post coming on things we learned during the Dec. 26th tornadoes for now just know we were fine though the entire event. We did have a power outage likely caused by lightning but it was no big deal. There are far too many “are you okay” emails coming in to answer them all. Don’t take that the wrong way I am blown away but how many people are worried about us, but I figured one post would answer all concerns a lot easier.
Remember I am off for the coming week but in that time I will post a short article about these storms, our experience and what we have learned this time around.
The destruction that occurred just 30 miles east of us is dramatic and makes us once again count our blessings. Here are a few pictures of the damage to our east.

Most of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today. Many American’s have no idea just how Christmas became unique here in America, the role it played in bringing our nation together after two wars of independence and the civil war.
Christmas is special and a time to pause and reflect. Christmas is indeed a special time of year, today I will cover many aspects of it that may make this Christmas just a bit more special. There is also a full text transcription on of the non commercial portion of today’s show in the show notes below.

An acre that went from Brown to Green in 2015
Today is the last full regular show of 2015 so I though we would take a look at all that we did this year and our plans as we move into 2016. In some ways 2015 seemed to roll faster than any year I remember. In other ways some of the things we did seem like they were a very long time ago.
In many ways I feel there are way too many things that I didn’t get done yet that need doing. On the other hand when I look at what we did get done this was definitely a #getshitdone year as we say on the Regenerative Agriculture Facebook Group.
Lets Take a Look at Just Some of What 2015 Brought not in Order…
Looking to 2016

Episode-1695- Ten Ways to Live Free in an Unfree World [ 1:16:46 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
True Words Unless You Moderate Being Right With Both Wisdom and Cleverness
Yep this show is about active anarchy, didn’t put that in the title so it would not immediately shut down people that do not know what real anarchy is. Anarchy is not spoiled young adult children living in the parents basements, listening thrash music and playing games while wearing a black shirt with an A on it.
Anarchy is not burning down buildings, demonstrating in the streets or being a non conformist by getting the same tattoo 5,000 other people have. It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of the same “system” every day. It to be blunt isn’t even dominantly a political view, it is more an ethics based view that drives a political philosophy.
The ethics I am talking about are things like the firm belief, that cohesion, theft and force outside of defensive force are wrong, all the time, period the end. We accept that society is currently a bunch of spoiled children not ready to step up and be moral. We also accept that our way won’t be the dominant way in our own lifetimes. Yet for us, living against our ethics is simply not an option.
We think 7-8 generations out; we live accepting the interactive edge we must tolerate with the State. However, we adapt and we worry first about what we do, how we handle conflict and what positive change we can make before we worry one bit about what anyone else does, says, thinks or doesn’t do.
This show is actually based on an article I will be releasing around the first of the year. I feel that an article will reach many people who don’t normally listen to podcasts. But I also wanted to share this with you guys before the year ends. I think many of you will be surprised to learn, you may have been actually practicing anarchy for quite awhile without even knowing it. In fact many of you are far more real anarchist then people who claim to be anarchists.

Episode-1694- Small Batch Mead, Cider and Fruit Wine Q&A [ 2:52:34 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
My Go To Bottling Solution for Small Batch Bottling. 32 oz, Growlers.
Today I am doing a follow up to Episode-1684- Making Dead Simple Ciders, Meads and Fruit Wines because I have been blown away by how many went out and gave it a shot. I have also gotten a lot of questions about it. I put out requests for questions on that episode and efforts so far and got a huge response, today I will attempt to answer most of those questions.
I do want to lead off with something to put everything here into context though. These quick simple small batches, especially the dump and pitch ciders are more like cooking a steak on the grill on a Wednesday night than say, making a fabulous full length roasted tenderloin, topped with onion and pepper oil along with an accompaniment fit for a Mongolian warlord! I’ll have to tell you guys how to do that some day.
The point is in one of those models you are just feeding yourself a damn good meal, you paid a fair price for a decent cut of meat, you grill it, done and you enjoy it that way. In the other you just dropped 200 bucks on one of the finest cuts of meat known to man. You are going to spend a lot more time and effort to make sure your meal comes out in a beyond blow your mind way.
These are simple quick ciders and wines, they serve two purposes…
What this means is that making ciders and meads like this can either lead to full on bad ass to the bone home vinting, mead and cider making. Or a path to really easy and fast daily drinkers, either bottled or kegged. Or just be a fun way to make and enjoy a few batches a year. It is all up to you. Just understand that is the angle my answers come from today.
I have been brewing beers, ciders, fruit wines, meads and blends there of since 1994, so that is 21 years. I have even produced a few award winning beers in my time.
I rank my experience as a brewer at a 8 of 10, mainly only because I have never done full mash. Cider I would rank as a 8 as well, mainly because I have never worked up to proper blending or real cider apples, something very hard to even get today. I would also give myself an 8 as a mead maker, only because I have seen what a 10 is and that isn’t it.
The point of all this isn’t I am awesome, it is more that this level of making ciders, wines and meads doesn’t qualify to me anyway for some of the higher levels of concern as producing the very best you are capable does. Again think of it as grilling steaks or good burgers or say chicken, vs. cooking a full on gourmet blow you away meal for a dinner party.
Final note on real wines, as in made from pressed grapes that are grown for the purpose of making wine, I would rate myself perhaps a 4! I know what to do, but it doesn’t interest me so I don’t do it, never have done it, have no real plans to do it. Hence all the little tricks and adjustments you learn by actually doing this stuff, I have no experience with in the “proper” world of wine.
