Drop those boiled eggs into malt vinegar next time, utterly devine!

I have used these kegs for a while now with great success. A word of advise if anyone is planning on reusing ones purchased filled with beer - If the fitted tap is circular instead of a upside down trapezoid shape then avoid, the circular taps will leak. If the bung is a plastic red bit on the...

Come on sir, you can do a LOOOOOOOT better than that. Aside from the Becher, which is a quality choice and even better if you leave it in the freezer for a few hours the beers are the Czech equivalent of of Bud, Coors and Blue Ribbon. They may seem different but they aint good.

I use something similar for my brews but do my mash in a camping cooler. You may be able to mash in it if the heating element is concealed and yes I would use a bag, the tap can easily get clogged up. The only real issue I have with mine is the thermostat kicks in and shuts off the element just...

You shouldn't worry in the slightest, I would say you are in one of the nicest parts of the city and without being near the tourist hoards.

I must be in a helpful mood today :) Just around the corner from you hotel: http://www.legendapraha.cz - Good food and a good unfiltered staropramen. They are open a bit later than most places. Maybe 5 mins walk from your hotel: http://www.notabene-restaurant.cz - In the basement is a...

Here are a few more places that are within 5 mins walk from each other, just take the green line metro to "Jiřího z Poděbrad" and great beers are close ;) https://www.facebook.com/beergeek.cz - They have a bottle shop and a brand new bar. They have the more expensive beers, maybe...

Yes some things in Prague have changed very quickly. However in other areas the more they change the more they stay the same.

I have an 2500w electric water bath canner. Holds 30 liters and does the job quite well. Not sure how popular they are in the U.S. but here in Europe they are popular. Mine cost about 100 bucks.

It has pretty much the same beers as other multi tap places in Prague but its at least 50% more expensive and very touristy, you won't find any locals there and during the evenings its filled with stag party morons. Its worth popping in for a swift half in the afternoon as its quite close to a...

I have used turbo yeast a few times. The first time I followed the directions on the packet and dissolved I think 6 kg of table sugar in 25 liters of water and used the whole packet of yeast. The result? Undrinkable crap, it was turbo through as it fermented out in about 72 hours and was 19%...

A proper classic: Tis a thing of beauty. I have a half pint sized one for vodka too ;)

I will be attending Goat Day at big Czech brewery called Kozel (Literally means goat) which involves beer, meat, music and more beer before heading back to a good friends place for 50th birthday celebration. :mug:

Woooshhh!!! Was the sound the "load" reference made as it flew right over my head. I am now enlighten, thank you good sir :D

Well......... it is illegal here and in most other "civilized" countries too. But that does not stop us and thousands of others like us from all over the world doing it once every 3 months :rockin: Its mostly Europe but according to the map there were several in the US too...

In the streets of Prague for Restaurant Day. We sold loads, people loved our beer and food but then it rained and killed it for us :( :(

Interesting, I would never have thought of adding sugar or vinegar to slaw. I guess the yoghurt I use in my recipe would serve a similar purpose: adding a little tartness. Not as much as vinegar thus no sugar to balance it out.

I love homemade slaw. Recipe swap! Here's mine: 1/2 medium white cabbage 1 large onion 1 large carrot 400g unsweetened white yoghurt 1 heaped tablespoon plain mustard 1 heaped tablespoon wholegrain mustard Salt n pepper In a bowl, whisk together the yoghurt and mustards then season the...

Recipe please, I need to please the woman too!

For me there are no rules to pizza making (or even cooking in general) :) I see what works and what does not. I have had a few misses in my time but this was a real hit :rockin: Edit: Just realized I replied to your 666th post. Hope that doesnt mean I'm cursed or something equally unpleasant :)
