Dam you! I just spit speckled hen all over my keyboard and moniter! :rofl:

I need some help. Heading up to Birmingham tonight to see The Beat at the Carling Academy and as much as I have to break out the "Beat on the Lager Bat" ha ha could anyone recommend a pub or two where I can get some decent ale? From what I remember the venue is in the Bull ring area. Not to...

Actually can I swap the Old Hooky for Jamesb's neverending bottle thingeee??? :party:

Guinness Arrogant ******* Ale Old Peculiar Miller Genuine Draft... Ha! Gotch Ya! :rofl: Hen's Tooth Hobgoblin Old Hooky And seriously... Miller isn't one of them. Just so there's not misunderstandings.. :nono:

Dam I thought it was good for taking away headaches... that would explain that lump on my forehead... :lol:

Yes aleman there are. Unfortunately I find them few and far between. I've had a couple I enjoy. I'm sure ninety percent of it is down to my personal taste but hey I figure after this long on the planet I can complain about something can't I? :hmm: ha ha.

Outstanding! Got my email from Ian today. Won't be to big of a dent either. :party: Now I've got to make it up there to get it. Hopefully soon. If not it'll be the 28th at the latest. I can pick it up on my way to see "The Beat" in Birmingham. Double bonus day. he he. And yes after a few beers...

I would say blag em with some brewing malarchy such as "hmm well ya see lager is really a beer to be brewed in cold climates"... but even that line won't fly as it's been bloody freezing!!!! No excuse there I suppose. :rofl:

Lager makes my insides want to come out... :nono: Bad idea i say stew... :rofl:

Ok works coming tomorrow dammit. The lady is watching desperate housewives so I'm off to read my book and give the the "Desperate Brewer's eyes" :rofl:

ha ha. I'm an American expat and was a beer snob from a young age. ha ha. I never placed much stock in or enjoyed for that matter miller bud michelob coors or any of that. I was brought up on bass, guinness, newcastle, well imports to be honest. To be completely honest I don't like that idea of...

Cool. :clap: I think I may be thinking of adjuncts and the use of them after prohibition in the states to make beer for a good profit...

On the subject of sugar... I've just bought G Dubs book.(as an american you don't know how good it feels to be able to call someone who's not your president anymore that... he he. ) In the recipes he lists sugar. In all the literature I've read in the past about brewing using sugar for anything...

Well to be honest I'll to an extract brew or two to start with. Going to avoid the kits. But I'd like to have some cornies on tap within the next six months. Haven't yet told the girlfriend about the half pack cornie fridge that will fit perfectly in that corner over there... :rofl:

Let's hope so eh? Need to get at least one brew in before April so I can be oppurtunistic and get my AG equipment for my birthday. :D Meanwhile I'll be perusing my new book to decide which to use for my first brew... :thumb:

He he. Ok here goes... I'm itching to brew. Presently I'm waiting for some prices to get the rest of my equipment. My saint of a girlfriend has listened to me for a few weeks now, chanting the same stale mantra, "I just want to make beer". Her constant reply is "Bless you". :? Ended up spending...

On that note stew I'm thinking the nordic optical is the way to go. Think I'll look into getting the elements at work (perk of playing with electricity every day.) Not to mention I was thinking I could use it for extract brewing as I slowly put an AG brewery together. Any thoughts on that?

Right. Got the book. Doesn't seem that bad. Have to admit I enjoy it a bit more than TCJOHB. I think it gives a bit better of an explanation of stuff. Just my opinion. I am the the sort that enjoys the inner workings, whys and wherefores. Now I just want to get a brew under my belt. It's really...

Definately want to try my hand at winemaking....need to get my brewing sorted first though. Stumbled on twenty demijohns this weekend for a deal so I snatched them all in hopes of using them for wine and cider after I get a few brews under my belt. :party:

Tell you what, if my mates gripe about a haze when I hand em the first bottle I make that'll be the last free one they get from me. :rofl:
