    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Serious answer: You have exceeded my level of chem-foo. Except at they are alcohols with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and not an (H2O) attached to each carbon. Un-serious answer: If you take one of these with your xylitol or sorbitol you will not have the issues aforementioned. Edit image for...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    If you are trying to reduce weight you should drink this. Zero carbs and zero sugar. A bit miss leading though. I guess alcohol doesn't count as a carb. Bacardi & Cola - Meet Diet Cola: http://youtu.be/_A3kvEhS7UM

    Stretching Silicone tubing over 1/2" threaded camlock

    My setup uses threaded camlocks and 1/2" silicon tubing. I had read in various places that it is difficult to get the tubing on to the calmock but that was not my experience. My suggestions are to make sure that you cut the tubing carefully so that the ends are square and even. This will...

    Jule Hvidtøl - Danish Christmas Beer

    I was reading through Michael Jackson's "The New World Guide to Beer" for inspiration and came across Jule Hvidtøl in the Danish section. It is a low alcohol desert beer that I think SWMBO would love. Problem is I have not been able to locate a recipe on the InterWebs. The closest I got was...
