Welcome to the forum. I love Whitby. Goth festival and the best fish and chips in the land! Marvelous stuff.

In my opinion all religions are a collection of bad ideas. There are plenty of examples of violence against non-believers from all religions across the world. There are certain parts of Christian america where declaring your an atheist is down right dangerous. There are hundreds of examples of...

Indeed they can, generally bittering hops tend to have subtle flavors and a low amount of aromatic oils. As a result when they're used early in the boil most of the flavors and aromats get boiled off leaving a 'clean' bitterness.

Now, i could be wrong on this so more learned home brewers please correct me...but... Bitterness comes from the alpha acid content Flavor and aroma comes from the hop oil content As a boil continues more alpha acids are extracted from the hops and more oils are boiled off, hence why most...

A micro pub has opened near me, but it closes at 9pm! Haven't made it there yet as a result

Did it have a sort of 'puckering' quality to it? Almost like a sourness but not quiet? (i don't think i'm articulating what i want to say well). Also what it your sparging technique?

This kind of thing annoys the **** off me. I work in web application development and trimming whitespace off the end of inputs should be routine and straightforward. string.Trim(); easy peasy.
