You could, but don't. It tastes like ass

You using an overnight Biga for it? I have Richard Bertinets book and I'm sure that's what he recommends for Ciabatta

Then you get civil cases like the horrible little beast David Goodwillie, judged by a proper judge who was highly qualified in such matters to have been an unreliable witness and a liar from the word go. Verdict.... Rapist. Swiftly followed by howls of "but its not a proper court!!!!!" From...

It's really not simple or sensible to apply a broad strokes "innocent until proven guilty" in cases of rape and sexual assault due to the ridiculously low conviction rates and even charging rates. There is an enormous chance that none of this ever sees a criminal court, and only absolute wrong...

It's good that it's been made public. Helps people who don't already know figure out which pubs to avoid like the plague. Part of me feels there's a natural selection piece here though where if you drink in a Slug and Lettuce or a Yates you are probably fair game.

First brewday in ages today. Making a sort of happy golden ale. Made up the order ages ago and didn't wrote down my intended recipe but I recall a small charge of bittering hops then the rest split between flameout and dry hop, a grain bill of pale malt with a wee touch of crystal to add a...

I've spotted a problem here.....

If you're looking for anyone else to mum for. You know exactly where I am!

Very rare these days that I see a film come out thay I genuinely want to see, but Oppenheiner surely can't fail with the cast and director involved....

There's a smoking thread already that has a host of info, successes, failures etc btw, if you are looking for something to comb through of an evening

Couple of beef short ribs, 2 full racks of pork spare ribs and 12 chicken thighs on the smoker at the moment.
