i've got to get me some of that amarillo, grapefruit and peachy, that sounds very nice im sure my swmbo would love it.

amarillo is supposed to be the one for grapefruit as far as i know.

Great thread airtight, i've tried the U.K. version of apfelwien (we just call it turbo cider) with a muntons premium yeast, it has left a definite bready twang to it i suppose the same as what you found with wyeast 1275. I was going to get some proper cider yeast (whitelabs) but im setting up a...

Thats weird that you think the difference in taste may be down to them not being fresh, to my knowledge belgium big beers are made for storing, they are the sort of thing you stick in the cellar for 8-9 years before one day blowing the dust of them and enjoying the mature flavours.

most of the silicone sealants i know have fungicide in them (trust me you don't want those in your beer). I guess the million dollar question is will liquids come into contact with it? If not i'd say fine IMO!! iyou could also try using silicone for fish tanks (non-toxic when cured) this has...

Remeber watching a documentary, think it was six one hour progs showing the training and life of new recruits in the french foreign legion. They do a lot of training in the jungle at the Equatorial Jungle Training Center in French Guyana. It has a notorious assault course, which the whole team...

Some of the older generation are very set in there ways and will drink only one thing, the barman will even set them a pint up without asking when they walk in the door. Again though i think that this is because they grew up having no choice. Where as young people who do now have more choice...

The production of acetaldehyde in the body really screws you up the next day, its caused when you overload the alcohol dehydrogenase system iirc, its also responsible for that feeling of being really drunk ie not tipsy from the ethanol but falling down, can't stand up drunk from the...

IT IS :) , you'd still have great craic in the bars even if you don't have much choice in what you drink in them.

Your'e right joshpooh guiness is good thats why they had such a stranglehold over here in the past, it would have been inconceivable to have a bar in ireland with no guiness. At least in the states budweiser had coors and miller etc to keep them on their toes and they have made their beers so...

the kms addition might be more of a wiiner, i can see the logic of this. That said though, one of the reasons i think we homebrew is to keep the addition of additives etc to a minimum, who knows it could be the KMS in commercial beer that makes you feel like crap the next day (hard to tell...

Guiness = Bad Mentioned earlier on in the thread about the paucity of beers on tap over in my part of the world (ireland). This is in no smalll part down to guiness who have managed the licenced pub trade in ireland like an angry pimp looking after his beatches. They dictated what was sold in...

just because its became a platitude for a idiom doesn' mean that the definition of an analogy is wrong. i'll stick to collins and websters still cary more weight than wiki

Newsflash, thats the point of an analogy to compare two things like apples and oranges, they are different in some respects but similar in others ie in this instance they are both fruits. Just as purchasing a keg from someone who has aquired the keg by non-legal means is the same as purchasing...

Just for a laugh So someone on craigslist near me is offering up used cars for $2500 each which are worth $7500. Awesome, right? So I e-mailed him and he wrote back with his phone number to call him. I did and he said: "My son rents cars alot, and then neglects to return the cars...

Since comments on the probrewer forum seem to hold some weight i thought i would post a link to another thread were a brewer who is at the thin edge of the wedge states what he thinks of non-returnal. http://probrewer.com/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-3329.html about 2/3 down i'll paraphrase...

I think the legalise in security deposit contracts usually includes the statement in a timely fashion, i don't think that means several eons :D

Where in the agreement does it say the property becomes yours. I'd be very surprised if the agreement doesn't state that the keg still remains the property of AB. I don't know what way the law works in the states but in the U.K. last time i looked selling someone else's property amounts to...

What can i say, maybe one of the moderators should set up a section for trading stolen goods from what i can see it would get a lot of action :mad:

I think if you take that statement at face value, then you are condoning the purchase of a good that does not belong to the seller, that he has no authority to sell it and by doing so he is commiting theft, which IMO makes you then complicit in that theft. Replace keg with car stero, HDTV or...
