Pray for snow. You could get locked in for 5 days. Get totally bladdered. And still have a hero's welcome when you "escape" that ordeal safe and sound. 😂😂

Thanks, @DuncB , I am indeed l am, indeed still looking. Thats a great little had heater, too. I need one with longer handles, though, as I will be using it with on a wood fire/barbecue. I've sent this research project to my eldest against an upcoming birthday.

I think I've been harsh, in retrospect. In the unlikely event that I did find an "English" pub, I think it would not be unreasonable to hope to find a proper pint. So how can I find fault with the American tourist and his Mcdonalds? But you have touched a sore point: the French indifference to...

I (don't know about anyone else) am a bit lost here. Are you saying that American tourists come to Chinon to eat American food at McDo, which they expect to taste exactly the same as it does at home. Why do they come? Why don't they just stay at home? I really, really really, miss a skinful of...

I see your point(s) and you're right. My recollections were from the 60s and 70s of an earlier century. "Amber Ale" is a new thing. Fuller's ESB was first touted in 1971 and it certainly wasn't called Amber Ale- this is a modern marketing gimmick. Fullers had Chiswick Bitter at 3.4%, their...

You re pretty much on the money, here. We don't make a distinction between bitter and strong bitter. A best bitter might be a couple of tenths of a percent abv more than the bitter and, traditionally, cost a penny or two more. All the distinctions that are confusing you are due to your bjpc...

Perhaps, but that wasn't my point. How stupid do you have to be to go on holiday in, say, Spain and then complain that the place was full of Spaniards! And even worse, they don't speak English!

Reminds me of the folk who go abroad on holiday and then complain that "It was OK, but there were too many foreigners"!

You say that, but if he'd been drinking stout all his life they might have been celebrating his 90th! 😂😂😂

When making cider from apples, ie by pulping them and then pressing to extract the juice, there's often a surplus of malic acid which makes the cider taste tart. Over time, the malic acid can change into lactic acid through the action of certain bacteria in the juice, and this produces a much...

You can get Krush here https://brouwland.com/en/hops/21031-yakima-chief-hopsR-krush-t90-hop-pellets-50-g.html

Interesting article. I've heard of cock ale, but never tried it. I don't think I'd want to try it, to be honest, but it occurs to me that in days before refrigeration it might be a way of preserving the nutritious properties of am old rooster that would otherwise go to Fido. Curiously, although...

I'm sticking with drinking it cloudy. It always comes out the other end perfectly clear. 😂

Are you sure you need to add finings? I used to use gelatine and then stopped as the beer cleared perfectly well without it. Why do you need to squeeze it in via a post? Wouldn't it be better to add the finings to the beer at the time of transferring it to the keg, since it's all got to be...

I think macro clones are the hardest to get right because they're standardised down to the nth degree to get consistency of flavour and long shelf-life under adverse conditions. I had always thought Heineken used Strisselspalt hops until I discovered they used hop extract! Well, my beer tasted...

Too busy prancing around in lederhosen and dabbing eau de😂😂 cologne behind their ears. I, too, have seen the Rammstein videos. 😂😂

My Helles isn't brewed in Hell, either!

That was my thinking, too. Have you already got the barrel? Peated stout isn't too everybody's taste, certainly not too mine.

Budweiser springs to mind.

Yes they are but i think @fluketamer is training about the US.
