The carrots scare me. Nonetheless, if there weren't a continent between us, I'd gladly try it.

The rank and file are already there. All the movements need to qualify are better organisation (they're working on that), effective leaders (Trump's too lazy and stupid, Bolsonario's just too stupid), corporatist economies (arguable--Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were more like kleptocracies)...

But Tex-as makes good bar-be-cue. As I recall, Texans usually hyphenate for emphasis, not all the time.

Among the major US news outlets, look at MSNBC and Fox. Before 2016 I would partly agree that each slanted the news. Each had a news group that arranged headlines and chose reportng language to make a point, and an opinion section. Fox had a larger set of rightwing commentators than MSNBC...

That's a news account. I went to relevant conferences in those years and never heard what that snippet suggests. Predictions of the climate made in the 80s and 90s have generally been spot on. One researcher in the area worked on background cycles. Going by those, he predicted that in the...

An old acquaintance lives in a bunker in Arizona near the Mexican border. Breitbart and OANN are too leftist for him, and Fox is part of the Islamo-communist menace along with CNN. So he trawls the Internet for stories about the imminent execution of Hillary, Hunter and many others at...

Come to think of it, most Americans would also call the fixtures on kegerators taps. "Faucet" generally refers to a fixture on the plumbing.

Nyah ha ha. First we get you saying elevator and faucet, soon we take over language. Grand final becomes Downunder Superbowl. Prawns become shrimp regardless of their size.

First of all, either filter your water or aerate and let it stand for a day or two before brewing. But if you did use your water fresh, that would not likely explain why the off-flavour developed in one cube and not the other. Palmer, who is a chemist, maintains that chlorine can build up from...

Welcome, Daniel. You're starting with a wide assortment. Good to see you love beer and have boldly dived in where most, including me, started in the kiddie pool with extract brewing. Whether the savings on ingredients ever amortise your equipment costs depends on various factors and...

Yes, an air leak is probable. There are many posts like this, one recent on this forum. Will that cause unwanted oxygen contact? Not during the active phase, when CO2 is displacing air. After that, in theory air will diffuse back through the leak. The heavier weight of C02 slows the process...

Heineken hold the controlling stock in Asia-Pacific. Yep, back in the ages when I spent four years in Moresby, slabs of warm SP were given away in Highland feasts along with pigs. People drank to kisim spak {get sparked). Sounds like expats and a few nationals would welcome a brewpub, but the...

In PNG, is the choice still between San Mig and South Pacific ("bia bilong yumi," but in fact a subsidiary of Asia-Pacific)?

A very detailed discussion of lagering in German breweries and at home is in https://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/Fermenting_Lagers. He states that commercial breweries cold condition under pressure and transfer to bottles and kegs after the process is complete. For home brewers who bottle or...

Actions far apart in time. The US founding fathers were by and large rationalists, followers of the Enlightenment. The alt-right types who oppose anything furrin probably heard of it in school but chose to forget it.. Know-nothings, evangelical zealots and self-appointed superpatriots together...

Metric system communist plot. MAGA!

Either the maltidextrin or a steep of 300g carapils will give you some added body. The carapils might add a trace of bready flavour too. Neither will add chemical flavours.

Too bad, the old 750s were reusable forever, withstood a fair bit of overcarbonation and in a pinch doubled nicely for milling grain.

If M54 is the Anchor steam strain, a big if. fermenting cold won't suit it, but cold storage after fermentation might, California commons are a crossover style between ales and lagers, not meant to replicate or rival true lagers, Depending on tastes, they can sub for lager drinkers who can't...
