  Cool. Thanks for the advice. I might try leaving most of it on there, but if it gets damaged in
  transit or anything, I can trim off any broken bits.

  So, I have my very first hop bine. The rhizome sprouted shoots a few weeks ago. At the time, I
  knew we were going to be moving house, so I put a conical trellis in a pot with the rhizome,
  giving the b...

  Seemed pretty sour to me, but I guess it's not a lacto kind of sour. But if that's true that it
  just a brett flavour, then that puts me off using brett in beer. I was thinking of doing a
  Brett b beer ...

  I think I've decided that most types of sour beer I will never enjoy. I bought an Orval and a

  sensations of dr...

  Yeah, I don't want to lose carbonation either. I could try longer serving line on just that

  I have three kegs in my kegerator. All are at 1bar. All with 3m (~9') flexmaster II as
  beerline. Two have picnic taps, and one has a fatlock with an Andale tap. For some reason I
  can't get a good pour...

  I'm really new to cigars. I had heaps of cheap and nasty ones when I was younger, but my
  experience with cubans amounts to having had a couple of Romeo y Julietas. The last one I
  really sat there cont...

  Absolutely agree with everything you are saying. However, I was simply answering the OP. The
  question was not about decoction mashing. The question was about what can be used to replace
  carapils in a ...

  Have you tried anything from Jolly Pumpkin? No I haven't. Not sure if they'd be available in my
  area, and a quick search on my locals show up nothing.Otherwise, do you know the vintage of the
  beers yo...

  Negative to the wheat, IMHO wheat does not belong in a proper Bo'Pils.I'm curious as to why you
  feel this? I agree that if you want to use traditional methods you would avoid using wheat
  malt, but you...
