For those who don't know much about Brujos, Jeff Alworth has written a nice background piece - nothing much about the beer, mostly about the main man Sam Zermeño.

They seem to have found some more Chevallier and Hana down the back of the sofa, they're back in stock for now. For those that don't know, Hana is the original lager barley, the Czech equivalent of Chevallier - and it's great, highly recommend it. Plumage Archer is pretty similar to Otter, and...

Geterbrewed are discontinuing Crisp in favour of Simpson and Munton, so are selling off most of their stock at half price. All the Otter has gone, Chevallier claims to be in stock but you can't select a weight, but they do have Plumage Archer and Hana at the equivalent of £1 (€1.16/US$1.25) per...

It is indeed the Terek, flowing east from Georgia, through Chechnya and Dagestan into the Caspian. It has featured in history several times. It marked the furthest point of the German advance towards the Baku oilfields in 1942, in 1262 it saw the Ilkhanate (southwest part of the Mongol Empire...

No. It goes into the Caspian.

Nope. It was the scene of a history-changing battle.

They're happy as Larry, they're temperate plants that like a bit of cold to work properly. In fact the big worry here in the UK is that we had such a warm winter that hops will suffer spring dormancy - start growing too soon until they get close enough to the surface to detect that the day...

Well Aragvi is the Georgian word for a river, as well as being the name of a tributary of the Kura. So I assume you're talking about this one : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khobi_(river) But it's not that one.

No. It's not a tributary of another river.

If you mean the Kura - no

I've been registered there for years but not logged in for maybe a year+, I've just tried and I can log in fine, but get the same message about being banned until October. I imagine they've restricted posting rights to actual members - which is understandable I guess, although annoying. One...

We are in Georgia - but what's the river?

Keep going all <g> Carpathians are the least cold so far...

Warmer than UK, but still chilly

There are some clues that it's not the UK if you look closely, and in fact the UK is quite cold.

A river...but no bridge this time.

Nah, somewhere I've posted a slide from a Fermentis presentation which has BE-256 in the middle of the English group on the "Gallone" dendrogram, which suggests it's a similar story to the Rochefort/WLP540 thing.

My suspicion is that M41 is repacked BE-256 and M31 is a 50:50 blend of Belle Saison and BE-256, although I can't prove it (yet). You can see that M31 is a blend of two different coloured yeast pellets, and the colours are the same as Fermentis and Lallemand yeast; we know that M29 is repacked...

A good summary of recent efforts to commercialise silk and spider silk : https://www.wired.com/story/the-race-to-put-silk-in-nearly-everything/ Although a team here claim that they have a protein that is multiple times stronger than silk, called talin, which cells use to detect mechanical...
