oh thanks....now I'm starvin....looks yummy!!

[bmeyer44]

shredded suet? is that sorta like lard?

[BrewTubeUK]

@bmeyer44 Only in so far as its an animal fat. Lard, I believe, is rendered pork fat. Suet is shredded kidney fat. It's more solid and less greasy.

[bmeyer44]

@BrewTubeUK I've never seen shredded suet here in the states...plain suet for the birds, but never shredded stuff for cooking....ya learn something new every day! Thanks

@bmeyer44 You could always grate frozen butter or use another solid type of shortening as a substitute for suet.

I have to say, I'm very happy to have found your channel. Great recipes for food and (especially) beer.

@tarogue1 Thanks. I've just had a look at your channel: It's a serious set up you've got there; lots of shiny steel.
