    Overnight mash on a grainfather?

    Donald Campbell's Bluebird returning to Coniston decades after fatal crash

    I was only one year old, but it was definitely published in what I would call "popular history books", or popular historical overview books. I knew about Donald Campbell from a quartets game featuring all kinds of speed record breaking vehicles (featuring several from Campbell?). And I liked to...

    What "genius" thought this was a good idea?

    I think that was actually the gist of Roe vs. Wade, that what happens between a doctor and his patient, is nobody else's business.

    Kit Review: Muntons Gold Imperial Stout

    Hm, I looked at their specifications, and it states 4.5% ABV. Indeed, not really Imperial.

    Brewers yeast as a health food supplement

    When my wife was a kid she had to take yeast for vit B supplements. She lived in Roeselare/Roulers. These came from the Rodenbach brewery.
