Cambro Container

Post by housil » Sat Jul 10, 2010 10:16 am

Summer is melting everybody and everything over here at 36°C (97F)

Several beverages at the supermarket were sold out that morning. A good opportunity to give my "better-to-have-than-to-need" Cambro container a try. I told the familiy, we will use an Army grape beverage concetrate to have a gallon of grape juice so we can pour our glasses all day long :mrgreen:

Never used before container

Image
Concentrate

Image
Made at 2336

Image
Very dark and rich concentrate.

The taste is different from what you know Welshs Grape or the similar in taste beverage bags in MREs or like Kool Aid. The Army concentrate taste more like black current than (sweet) grape.
Next time we will give cherry a try Image

Ours too, but we must wear bunker gear and boots at work even in the office and our CEO vorbade us to buy any A/C (from our own, privat money) as we would use "his" electricity... Welcome to "öffentliche Dienst" Image

It's been a cool summer here, so far. High of 65 F (18.3 C) today.
Fog at night, overcast during the day.
Better this than 100F I reckon ! :wink:

True, True..

I'd rather have -15*C (+5F) to -20*C (-4F) with dry windless weather then +35-40*C (95 - 105 F)..
And I believe our Bavarian members can testify to that aswell..
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.
