I'm also curious about this...

You sir are a brave man! I could not bring myself to do that. :)

In that pic, the krausen film/ring looks like you dragged a finger through it. Then you commented that it actually tasted pretty good. Did you actually EAT the krausen ring?

That's interesting. One of these days I may actually try that.

Ok, sour mash seems really simple. I think I *will* try that with my stout as I have the ingredients already. Thanks for the tip!

Dry irish stout... Guinness? I love Guinness. I think it is because of the slight twang, that I've never been able to figure out what that twang was though. Now to research a sour mash. I'm pretty sure I've not seen lactic acid up here at our local store.

So you get a sweeter beer? Interesting. Does that produce any different flavours or alchohols than lower temperature fermentation?

That brewery looks cool. I just spent half an hour on their site :) Unfortunately I've never seen Stone up here in Canuckistan. I'll have to go have a harder look this weekend though, thanks!

900 cals a day for your average woman? Wow. That's lower than I expected! I think I have to try making a brew similar to yours. I've never had mgd64 or becks 64 though... but I do want a nice & light beer.

7 points? out of curiousity, how many cals is that? I have no idea how weight watchers works. 86 cals seems pretty darn low, thats awesome. Hope it turns out well for you.

I'm lucky in that I am very good at consuming water while drinking, so I rarely suffer from a hangover. Although the day after my bachelor party.... And yup! Born and raised here in BC (born in burnaby, been all over since). Should I assume you are a Dan's customer too? I can't find any other...

Berliner weisse is a great beer. I also typically find myself going for beers such as guinness, boddingtons, fullers, etc. all the time because they are fairly light in alchohol (4%?) and yet full of flavour. I just wonder if I could brew something even lighter than this alchohol % while...

Hmmm, will have to look into these english beers more :) I was just doing some google'ing last night and came across references to old styles of beer that were very low alchohol content, 1.5% and so on. I don't drink to get drunk so I thought it might be interesting to find and brew something...

Anyone have any suggestions? I've googled, come across references to belgian table beer at 1.5% but haven't found anything I can really brew or buy myself...

I've never drank a bud (at least, I can't recall ever drinking one). I have had coors, boring. Kokanee is boring as well. MGD, Labatts, etc - all pretty much the same. Never liked 'em, never tried more than once or twice. But yah, my german friends come to Canada and buy budweiser. And laugh...
