So I posted recently about our Dublin sour project with the lambic barrel brew. Well we've done a second group brew which is a variation on the first, this time we do primary in our own vessels at home and we are transferring to a barrel for the secondary and again phase. Oud Bruin...

When Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's "art". But when I do it, I'm "wasted" and have to leave Home Depot.

I joined the rest of my club "The Liffey Brewers" in Dublin recently to brew an epic barrel project lambic. We've sourced an old wine barrel (225L) and did a collaboration brew, varying in volumes from 20l up to 58l (me). We ended up with about 200l in the barrel and then pitched some bugs from...

Seeing as Oscar the Grouch was so possessive, here's a great traditional gazpacho recipe. Feel free to comment or add your own variations. Here's my Gazpacho recipe, given to me by a Spanish girl here at work, she also gave me a big bag of the paprika that they use in Spain. 6-8 tomatoes 1...

Now I'm no fan of Brewdog beers, but this is crazy stuff, Diageo have already issued an apology and blame it on a rogue element. http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/diageo-v-brewdog

This service was just launched in Ireland yesterday, I already signed up for a months free trial. My question regards the service...is it worth it? People are saying that once it gets popular that it's a complete lagfest and practically unusable in the evenings, what's your experience of...

it's a Kitchenaid Heavy Duty, commercial mixer with the metal gears. It's a beautiful piece of machinery and it was not expensive as we got it off a jilted lover selling it as revenge on her ex, I only found this out later, but then I don't know them so don't care anyway. I paid 100 pounds...

I bought some nice free range eggs, two packs of 80% pork sausage meat and made some scotch eggs. It's pretty easy. Softboil the eggs, shock them in cold water to stop them cooking when ready. Let the eggs cool then peel them. The recipe uses breading which is to have three vessels, one...

A post on making chocolate covered honeycomb, or cinder toffee as most of you probably know it. http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011/07/cinder-toffee.html

With respectful use of a link or two from here that say it better than I ever could, here's my latest blog posting. I hope it's helpful to some of you. http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011/06/using-liquid-yeasts-making-starters-and.html

I did up a blog post on prepping a whole beef filet into individual steaks and stir-fry pieces with some illustrations, hope you can get some use out of it. It'll obviously be eurocentric price wise, but the techniques etc are the same...

So last night was the Irish Craft Brewers/Beoir monthly meetup in Dublin. I brought along my stout and some mead, both of those went down very well. Long story short, I've only just sobered up in the last hour or two, only two more hours left at work, but I hate being hungover at work, it sucks...

No, that's not my present state of being:) We're off to see the Trailer Park Boys tonight in the Olympia theater here in Dublin. This has to be my favourite show ever, nothing comes close for comedy on tv, worst case ontario ( see what I did there ) it's gonna be as good as the worst episode...

He's changed over to playing bass in a Ska band and no longer plays the Tele. It's a '52 reissue but has had the electrics upgraded, I might look at downgrading it again just to check out the sound, maybe not though as my brother reckoned that it was an unacceptable sound for a modern guitar...

We eat a lot of pasta at home, probably 3-4 times a week normally. I was happy to buy any store brand all my life and always thought it was just a carrier for the sauce, unless it was home made. Recently I bought some DeCecco and am absolutely amazed at the difference in taste and texture that...

Just finished watching it. That's some funny shizzle. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007028/

Hi All, I'm looking for some real recipes from the good people on here, I know I could do a search online and find some but I'm more interested in the honest home recipes of people on here. I'm looking to know how to make a good corn bread, and also suggestions for what it's eaten with...

So Martini isn't a big drink over here, I decided I wanted to try out this legendary alcoholic drink. I got the ingredients, Bombay and some Vermouth and some olives and mixed one up, drain pour almost immediately. Now I like liquor, but not gasoline. Discuss.....
