If it's your first alt I recommend going simple. What I have fermenting ATM is almost 100% Munich (just a touch of roast wheat for colour) to a OG of 1050 and 40IBUs, mashed I think at 65 (haven't got records with me). It's a good sessionable beer with lots of flavour. When I first did it the...

I've not been to any GBW events and I am wondering if those who have been in the past (or are just in the know) could make some recommendations. I'm in the mood for variety !!! Events that are an easy commute (public transport) to each other would be appreciated too

freebie me inkbird, freebie me!

Contacted the brewer (Adam Betts - Northdown/Edge) and the grist is pils, wheat, red x and melanoidin. Never played with red x before and looking forward to the experiment. Let the trial and error begin! (who said brewing clones isn't fun)

Looks nice, but yeah a bit of a different beast. Anyone else try the neighbourhood brew RWL ?

No probs there Stu, but I was wondering more about the grist and balance. My instinct ATM is to go with something like my past Vienna recipe and sub the pils for wheat. There's this recipe from briess that I could convert too, what do others think of it - anyone tried it...

I enjoyed the neighbourhood brew red wheat lager when I was last at the kustom kommune (Collingwood) and now thinking of having a go at something similar. I haven't found much, or had any experience of pitching a lager yeast in a wheat so I was wondering what others have tried(?) For the record...

Well said Fletch. People are entitled to their own opion, but they are not entitled to their own facts. Lazy assumptions should be challenged, whatever they are. The aim isn't to 'one up' anyone or to project some air of superiority, just to move to a more reasoned position. It may have got...

Is 'ideologies' the word youre looking for here? How do you have a society or for that matter a political system without ideologies?

Binding a sheep’s legs and slitting its throat is the way we butchered all our sheep. It's also the only way of butchering I've seen any other farmer use. It isn't something enjoyable but families have to eat. It's not as instant as the bolt to the head or electric shock that abattoirs use...

The heretic gramarye is worth a try. I've my second rye beer on tap ATM which is based heavily on a clone recipes for terrapin's rye pale ale (which I've never tried). There's 10% rye in my beer and as seamad stated I find the most notable contribution from the rye is the slick oily mouth...

Seriously though, I will happily accept that from your point of view, religion and science are not necessarily mutually exclusive. However, I also hold that any system that does not allow for criticism, debate, and progress, tries to impose its will on others, has commandments that lists...
