Stormalong Bay is a big reason why many guests choose Disney's Beach Club Resort or Yacht Club Resort. So when the iconic pools is closed for nearly half a year, would you still choose to stay there? This story plus what's on the menu at Tiana's new Disneyland Restaurant.Would You Stay at Disney's Beach Club Resort if Stormalong Bay Weren't Available? A Walt Disney World Pool Closure Alert that's Going to HurtStormalong Bay is closing. From January 2025 through May 2025, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts will be closed for maintenance. During this time, the Tidal, Admiral and Dunes Cove leisure pools will be available, so it won't be a total pool shutdown. However, with the start attraction of the resort closed will this -- and should this -- affect your plans to stay at the resort?--We Now Know the Menu at Tiana's Palace, Disneyland Park: Is it worth trying?The grand opening of Tiana's Palace over at Disneyland Park is on September 7 and will bring a taste of New Orleans to the park. Located on Orleans Street, Disney is confident this will become an instant hotspot. Let's take a look at the menu to see if we agree.Gumbo-lovers will have a couple different options to try. The 7 Greens Gumbo is a plant-based option featuring white beans, okra, yams, sweet potatoes, and heirloom rice. Or you can make it the 7 Greens Gumbo with Chicken & Andouille Sausage. There's also the House Gumbo which is a New Orleans staple combining braised chicken, andouille sausage, and heirloom rice into a dish we are curious to try.If you like a little extra spice, the Cajun Spice Half Chicken is one to try. The chicken is brushed with a house-made chicory BBQ sauce and served with baked macaroni and cheese and coleslaw.For sandwiches, there's the Muffuletta Sandwich has mortadella, salami, rosemary ham, cheddar, provolone and house-made olive relish on toasted New Orleans sesame seed bread. The Beef Po-boy Sandwich has slow-cooked beef coated with gravy and fully dressed with shredded lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise atop a toasted New Orleans French bread. Both are served with red beans and rice and house-made pickles.  Gulf Shrimp and Grits are on the menu as well. Grilled and tossed in a Creole sauce, the shrimp are paired with cheesy grits to form a classic dish that is famous in New Orleans. Side dishes include Buttermilk Cornbread, Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Red Beans & Heirloom Rice, Coleslaw, Cheesy Grits and plant-based Heirloom Rice. Kids meals include a Roasted Chicken Drumstick served with a sweet BBQ sauce and heirloom rice, while the Toasted Ham & Cheese Sandwich is topped with ham and provolone. A classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese is on the menu as well. All three come with a Cuties Mandarin Orange and applesauce with choice of DASANI Water or small lowfat milk. And finally, yes, there is a House-filled Beignet featuring a lemon ice box pie filling topped with lemon glaze for the perfect bite. For coffee lovers, the Joffrey's Coffee Chicory Cold Brew is topped with sweet cream and there's a Ray Firefly Glow Cube* available with the purchase of a beverage in case you want to light it up. This add-on is a nod to the way Evangeline lights up the night sky.Finally, on the merchandise front you can to take home a piece of Tiana's Palace with the Lily Pad and Lotus Cup Ceramic Set (and it even comes with a House-filled Beignet).*There's a limit of 10 ice cubes per person, per transaction for the Ray Firefly Glow Cube. **There's a limit of two sets per person, per transaction for the Lily Pad and Lotus Cup Ceramic Set.--Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

When it comes to American Tall Tales, there are a handful that are rather well-known. Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and the like. While I was looking through old American stories I came across a series of tall tales I've never heard of, which effectively boil down to "Pirate Paul Bunyan." There is some mention of being very drunk, but other than that the story is fairly harmless. Thanks for listening!

This chat provides a a sip of something for everyone, from makers who want to improve their skills to consumers who enjoy knowing why a cider tastes a particular way. In this Cider Chat, we look at the next step after primary fermentation of cider and discuss the benefits of racking the cider over and why you may chose to not rack your cider. If you are a newbie to cidermaking, I recommend that you first listen to Part 1 of the Cidermaking Series How to Make Cider at Home Part 2-4 of the Cidermaking Series feature conversations with the Cider Team as Stormalong. These 3 chats are technical and help both DIY and commercial makers sort through cleaning techniques. Cidermaking Series Part 2 - Maker Tips for Growth and Cleanliness Part 3 - Cidery Sanitation Tips Part 4 - Scrub-A-Dub Valves and Vessels In this chat, I am going to lend my views and tips on Racking Cider. What does it mean to Rack Cider? Racking Cider is transferring cider from one vessel to another. Racking does not fully stop fermentation. I consider it a slowing down of the fermentation. Why should I rack the cider? Racking is done to help clarify the cider. When should I rack my cider? Racking is done after primary fermentation. Look for dead yeast cells and apple particles to fall to the bottom of the vessel. I usually wait approximately 1 month after primary fermentation to do my initial rack. This time varies and could be up to 2 months. What happens if I don’t rack my cider? The dead yeast cells which drop to the bottom of the vessel are called the lees. Lees left to sit for any extended period of time can give off flavors to your cider especially if you have to much head space. Headspace is the gap between the liquid and the stopper. If the headspace is larger than 2 inches the cider can oxidized and develop off flavors. When cider is oxidized it can taste like cardboard and that is not desirable at all. Leaving the lees in the cider and stirring them in is called Bâtonnage. Bâtonnage is stirring the yeast into solution. Benefits of Bâtonnage From episode 233 with Ryan Monkman - Ask Ryan | Quarantine Quad Series Part 3 Nano proteins are the biggest benefit of Bâtonnage They release into the cider providing a perception of sweetness and body with out the sugar Need at least 9 months to a year to get the nano proteins There are short term benefits. Yeast produces less carbon dioxide and bubbles. They slow down after the first primary ferment. Fermentation may have stopped but there is still sugar left. Lees absorb off aromas, except for H2S rotting egg smell. Bâtonnage helps to maintain a reductive state. Full reduction - rotting smell is a type of reduction. Which helps protect the cider from oxidization and protect the flavor components. Equipment needed to Rack Cider Second vessel of equal size - make sure it is food grade and sanitize before racking Food grade hose and racking cane extra stopper and airlock for 2nd vessel potassium metabisulfite Mentions in this Chat Listen to - Not all lees are Gross with Curt Sherrer Help Support Cider Chat Please donate today.

Cleaning considerations for 3 different cider operations - DYI, Farm Winery and Production with Stormalong Cider. (l-r) Ben Roberts-Sano, Bright McConnell, Shannon Edgar DIY - Home Cidermaking  It is soak and scrub for the DIYers. Soak carboys parts nylon bags airlocks all threaded parts Rinse with copious amounts of water thoroughly and sanitize. Boil with hot water, if possible. Drainage and setup are a major consideration Due to the common lack of pumps/ floor drains. Effluent should not affect your septic, if you brew a batch or 2 per year. Biggest maker hang ups Using low quality materials which can't stand the cleaning Not scrubbing enough Not disassembling/boiling threaded or other  non sanitary parts Farm winery set up Have some sort of floor drain, and some sort of pump capable of driving a spray ball. Rinse by pumping into a spray ball Drain to floor when rinsing tanks Always pump the water from a fully clean and neutralized tank, to the tank being cleaned Spray gross soils in the tanks out before starting to clean Tanks must be vented during cleaning, and all parts should be removed. Any areas under manways or probes that might obstruct the spray must manually be scrubbed. Take off and clean manway gaskets, and ensure sight lines are cleaned Clean and sanitize throughly racking arms and carb stones for best results Biggest hangups for Farm Winery Not Enough hot water Not having adequate drainage and wastewater handling Some small cideries with no wastewater handling will skip all of this in lieu of a steam or hot water pressure washer. They spray the tanks to remove soils, then partially close them up and allow the metal to reach 170-180 degrees to sanitize, then purge out any air with nitrogen argon or CO2. Commercial scale Set Up Automation and verification, regular inspection and replacement of parts Rubber parts and hoses that become cracked can no longer be adequately cleaned and must be thrown out. Even steel parts can become too scratched to be cleaned properly. Chemicals are tested for potency to determine if they are depleted by cleaning, and to insure adequate rinsing The inside of the tank may be tested for microbial action by plating or ATP test Commercial Plants at this scale invest in better Jet or rotating spray balls Dedicated cleaning tanks / pumps, caustic recovery, re heat, and re use More, and hotter water for cleaning To sanitize commercial cider makers may use plant steam/  PAA with a dosatron or CLO2 to kill remaining microbes Biggest hang ups for Commercial operators Not inspecting enough Not rinsing enough Trying to be too efficient  Mentions in this Chat Listen to initial Season 1 recording with Stormalong - 36 Shannon Edgar and Ben Roberts-Sano | Stormalong Cider, MA Cidermaking Series Part 1 - How to Make Cider at Home Part 2 - Maker Tips for Growth and Cleanliness Part 3 - Cidery Sanitation Tips Contact info for Stormalong Website https://www.stormalong.com/ Help Support Cider Chat Please donate today.

This is Part 3 featuring chemistry safety tips for cidermakers! Part 1 - How to Make Cider at home, provides a recipe for making a 1 gallon jug of cider Part 2 - Makers Tips for Growth and Cleanliness was the first part of a conversation with the Cider Team at Stormalong Cider in Leominster, Massachusetts. Stormalong Head Cidermaker, Ben Robert-Sano begins with an overview of these 3 components to and then  Stormalong Operations Manager Bright McConnell discusses recommended sanitizers to use in cidermaking. [caption id="attachment_5428" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Shannon, Bright, and Ben of Stormalong, MA[/caption] In Part 3 we continue our conversation focusing on Caustic chemicals to use Managing chemicals Acids Chemicals Caustics For cleaning fermentation soils, I recommend gluconated caustic at 1%, or PBW for those of you with aluminum parts. These are dangerous chemicals so wear a dust mask(pbw ) , long gloves and eye goggles when working with the chemicals Cleaning chemicals are most dangerous before dilution, so don't spill. Even a few drips of pure caustic will take gallons of water to wash off , and the residue can transfer, say from your shoes to your hands. Take extra care when handling chemical concentrates and keep a gallon of white vinegar (or hard cider) and a box of baking soda handy for neutralizing, should it get on your skin or clothing.1-1.5 oz per gallon Acids Cleaning also kills bacteria which live in biofilms. In order to maximize this kill, Ben recommends: treating hard water buildup rejuvenate the surface of your stainless steel parts with occasional acid cleaning use strong citric, or Methanesulfonic acid for acid cleaning. nitric/ phosphoric are also effective, but have more environmental impact if on a septic sysytem 1-1.5 oz per gallon Sanitizers For sanitizing the Stormalong Cider team recommends: Iodophor. It is easy to see when it is active. It is effective, requires no rinse, and has minimal flavor impact when properly diluted DO NOT USE STAR SAN it is not an EPA registered cleaner. The Five Star brand makes an iodophor if you prefer their products. Use 1 ounce of Iodophor per 5 gallons, not 1 oz per gallon like the other cleaners CAUTION: Idophor can cause blindness if it contacts your eye. Wear glasses when used. PAA, Sulfites, and CL02 are very effective but are only to be used by commercial scale cideries. spraying or handling these chemicals can cause immediate respiratory or eye damage if used incorrectly. You should always dose these chemicals directly into water, never remove the concentrates from the barrel using a drum pump. Dousatron - for eye dousing set ups in production facility.

Stormalong Cider scaled up their operations in 2017 when they moved from their cozy barn centered cidery to a shared production facility in Leominster in Massachusetts. We begin with considerations for growth of a cidery and then begin a dive deep into the production side of making cider with a specific focus on cleaning. Featuring Stormalong owner, Shannon Edgar, Head Cidermaker Ben Roberts-Sano and Operation Manager Bright McConnell. [ Shannon, Bright, and Ben of Stormalong What is sanitary/cleanable what is clean in place? Materials that touch cider must be made with a non porus surface which is resistant to scratching and chemical degradation These include stainless steel, glass, HDPE and PP plastics, silicone and other food grade rubber, teflon, specially prepared concrete or enamel coated steel vessels What materials to avoid? Metals like aluminum, brass, mild steel, copper, bronze, or chrome plated parts are NOT rated for food contact, and should not be used on any part of your system that touches product or co2. Copper is toxic and can easily absorb into cider on contact. Aluminum will corrode in caustic, and permanently stain steel parts in the same cleaning bucket. Chrome parts will always chip. Brass can leach lead (if not lead free) and copper into cider or common cleaning buckets What is sanitary? in order for a cleanable container or pipe part to be sanitary, it must have a smooth geometry, with no hidden or "dead spots" and must be easily disassembled for cleaning. a ball valve cannot be sanitary, because some of the surfaces of the ball are always hidden from the chemical action. threaded parts cannot be considered. pipes or vessels that contain areas that do not contact cleaning chemicals, or areas that cannot drain completely, cannot be considered sanitary, and cannot be properly cleaned without additional measures Vessels like wooden barrels rely on temperature (steam/190 water) or food safe chemicals, like phosphate, ozone, citric acid, or sulfites and microbial communities in order to stay "clean" or at least repeatably infected.  Cleaning theory The 4 factors of cleaning dirty vessels Time Temperature Mechanical action (how hard your spray, shake or scrub) Chemical concentration In order to clean different materials, and different soils. For instance, a food grade plastic that is temperature sensitive and too soft to scrub, you could use 50% more chemicals and a significantly longer soak time to achieve the same result Water won't get quite as hot as you like? Turn the pump speed up, and run the clean for longer, perhaps add more chemicals. Even stainless steel can be worn by heavy cleaning over time, so make sure to clean enough.  BUT there is such a thing as too much of a good thing! Biofilms Bioflims can form when parts get dirty for too long. Normal cleaning procedures may not be effective, and the film may stay active for some time SO YOU MUST CLEAN DIRTY THINGS BEFORE THEY DRY (same day) A part with any visible soils cannot be considered clean, a part that is not clean cannot be sanitized, and any part that touches the floor or any other visibly unclean surface, must not pass go, and return directly to the dirty parts bucket Mentions in this Chat Listen to Season 1 recording with Stormalong - 36 Shannon Edgar and Ben Roberts-Sano | Stormalong Cider, MA Contact info for Stormalong Website https://www.stormalong.com/ Help Support Cider Chat Please donate today.

Shannon Edgar's new cidery in the historical Cider town of Sherborn Massachusetts is already winning awards! In spring of 2016, at Michigan's Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition (GLINTCAP) Stormalong Hard Cider took home 5 medals! Look at the bottom of the page for the listing. This chat begins with Shannon and Benjamin Roberts-Sano who works with Shannon creating their delicious ciders by discussing Sherborn's cider  history and the Holbrook Cider Mill (1890). The mill exported Holbrook's Champagne Cider to Great Britain, Denmark, Germany and Belgium and in the US as far as Texas and Nebraska. It was advertised as "The World's Largest Cider Mill" producing 1.25 million gallons of cider per year. The mill also invented and patented the Steam-Powered Cider Press (1871) and used sand to filter the cider to remove "impurities". The mill was the largest employer in the town. We then discuss the folklore hero A. B. Stormalong, who throw back barrels of cider like you and I drink pints. This sea faring storybook character felt like the right fit for Shannon to use in the branding of his cider.
