I had a dreadlock stage. Not only that, I was adament about growing them naturally, meaning no beeswax or any product. That was back when I was living in Thailand. I got lice （as people who have long hair in Thailand often get）I tried many methods to get rid of them, had to shave...

Chivas is a great business, not a great scotch. Decades ago they realized most people didn't know anything about scotch. They noticed people determined quality based on price tag. They raised their prices higher than their competition's and their sales rose. The rest is history. Will i drink...

The Macallan 12, Glenmorangie, and The Balvenie are all a good intro into single malt scotch. More complicated than blended, but still palatable to the more unexperienced scotch drinkers.

Theres an irish pub here in Beijing that i attend way too often. They serve their magners on ice （not complaining, during summer it is pretty amazing）Is that the usual way of serving it? Always wondered.

Yup, its a thing. Depending on your taste it will be either sorta drinkable or bad haha. Probably should have added a bit of sugar. Also bread yeast is unpredictable and lets off some yucky off flavors. My prediction is it will be dry, relatively low in alcohol, yeasty, lacking in body and...

Yeah, all the stuff coming out of nashville is crap. Country music is just plain awful now, bluegrass on the other hand has made an awesome comeback.

Im almost 9 hours in the new year here in Beijing. Happy new year, and greetings from the future!

Cant help you on where to find extract or flavoring, but have you thought about making a strawberry reduction? Cook about a lb of strawberrys sliced in a cup of water and simmer for thirty minutes. Place in cheese cloth and extract all the goodness. Bring the liquid back to a simmer and simmer...

Any tips? Check your ego at the door.

No beer, only night night juice tonight. Warm milk with rum and a wee bit of brown sugar. And given it took me way too long to type this out, i think its bedtime...

Yup, me. Actually Beijing has a homebrew society that is a couple years old now maybe. I dont know where and when they meet now though. Something ive always wanted to check out but never got around to.

And what did we learn... never take blankets from the spanish.

Good point, well.... drinking milk tea and playing chrono trigger cant be the worst way to go...

Greetings from the future （I live in beijing）its now 12:50 in the afternoon. Im at a coffee shop enjoying a milk tea, and not dead yet... half the day done, and not one zombie!

Yeah ive laid waste to 6 liters so far.

I didnt use a lot of the syrup i made. Maybe 100 ml for the whole batch. I forgot and forgot to write it down. I took a few 100ml samples of my wine and added different amounts of the syrup to determine how much I wanted. I then subtracted a little and scaled up to 16 liters, to account for...

I actually ended up melting dextrose into apple juice. I added maybe 50ml to the whole batch. My friend from a small town outside frankfurt drank 2 liters of it in one night and he and his wife both said it was better than the apfelwein in Germany. Quite the compliment. Two of my wifes...

Yeah its still, and I stabilized this morning. I cant get concentrate, i live in beijing. The best i can get is juice.

Too many things I want to try. I have... Dextrose, regular sugar, honey and brown sugar. If i do choose to use one of the sugars should i make a simple syrup with water, or perhaps melt the sugar in apple juice? I was planning on a dextrose simple syrup for simplicity, but would one of the...
