Personally I wouldn't be using this stuff when there are far safer alternatives around................

Well where I live water is scarce

Munkee, you're in the UK.....................where's the water shortage, it's constantly raining over there!

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE POURING THE TEST BREW MIX INTO THE PLASTIC SLEEVE THAT THE HYRDOMETER WAS PACGED IN?
No mate, go buy yourself a hydrometer jar. They're dirt cheap by the way...

You need to have at least 5mm clearance all around your hydrometer to enable an accurate reading to be obtained ...

The sanitiser I have at the moment actually says not to use if you are an asthmatic

That'd be sodium bisulphite..........

You may be surprised to know that sodium bisulphite is actually dosed into commercial beers as a preservative, along with ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

The "meta" bit simply refers to its chemical structure....the position of the two bisulphite ions in relation to one another...... it's still just ...

Anyone who's been there will agree that it's not a brewery tour as such.............more like a museum of the history of Guinness.

Exactly the point I was trying to make Tipsy!!!

What, so boozer won't defend the scurrilous attack upon him (reference the 'cockhead' comment)!!!

Already have shane_vor!!

Paleman & I have kissed & made up, he's even edited his original post :shock:

r ...

Lets start again. Im sorry for being so critical. A bad week for me maybe

Agreed!

Here, have one of my latest bitters.......................

Have another read of your post Paleman:

I didnt imply in any way that new members have less privledges.
So what do you call this then???
Nice post from him, if it was from a long time regular. But this guy is a new poster.
So what you've stated is that my post would have been a good one, IF I ...

Its threads like these that add to the value of any site I reckon- people expressing themselves, in whatever way, make the community vibrant and alive. There are limits, of course, and in my opinion its been approached here but not overstepped.
BeerFrenzy / DrTom - better check with Paleman that ...

I've just brewed a double batch (46L) this week

......i think this guy Boozer is really pushing his own barrow, and as a newbie needs to pull his head in a tad.

Nice post from him, if it was from a long time regular. But this guy is a new poster. Shooting from the hip, and big noting himself. Enough said i think.
Oh really sorry Paleman ...

Its a drug like any other and it effects people in different ways
Exactly!!

I remember a time many years ago when I was busted for growing a few "special tomato plants" in my back yard (well 6 of them actually...)
Court time comes, and I decide to defend myself. The magistrate asks me what I had ...

Yeah I use empty 500ml PET coke bottles. Soon to go to kegging.....

Yemen isn't dry as such, they tolerate us bringing booze in but we don't flaunt it. Maybe it has something to do with us working for a multinational oil company :roll:

Wouldn't want to chance it if I was travelling as a tourist ...

Ummmmmm, nope...................
I'm in the middle of the desert in Yemen :(

Cannabinoids in the hops of us homebrewers
Incider, did you know hops & cannabis are from the same botanical family? I've been told (by a botanist) that you can actually graft a hop plant onto cannabis rootstock & get a ...

Cheers Grumpywolf....................

The problem is carting all those bottles half way around the world to the Middle East mate

Landsborough Yacht Club
Isn't Landsborough up in the hills on the Sunshine Coast hinterland???
Must be a bastard launching your yacht up there :lol:
Do you compete against the Alice Springs Yacht Club in the Henley-on-Todd regatta each year? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Put the brew down last ...

I suggest you get on with it sharpish before the lads find out you're faffing around
Incider, they already know! There's about 6 of us out here that brew, (2 Aussies & 4 Canuks), but only the other Aussie & myself can knock up a decent brew. The Canadians are doing ok, but they insist on bottling ...

Alright fellas,

I'm about to put down my first brew of bitter for the boys at work. I'm going to do a double brew (46L).

I'd like to hear some recipe suggestions. I'm after a high(ish) alc% (6%??), tasting similar to a Boddington's Bitter.

Here's what I have available to me here in the Middle ...
