Oh, I dunno about that... I had (have) a flatmate that decided to get stuck into one of the kegs I had in the fridge some months back... He thinks he got food poisoning from it. Consequentially, he no longer drinks my homebrew. :D I drank the remainder of the keg - nothing wrong...

I heard from a source that aught to know.... (In the industry) The biggest selling _beer_ in Ireland is Budweiser. :blink: Scary.

Wooden brewstand construction? :D :lol: On a semi-related note... Is there a section on this forum for selling misc not-really-beer-raleted stuff?

Not tried that one, but having tried 'super strength' lagers whilst living over in ol' blighty I'd recommend giving it a miss. Made for wino's and hangovers... :(

Hi all. Some time back I think I read somewhere (Memory is a little hazy, just like my beer atm... :P ) about someone setting up a brewer at the De Bortoli winery. Anyone know if this ever eventuated? If so, what it's called, and are the beers available somewhere?

What are the dimensions of the fermentors you're looking for?

http://www.thbs.intas.net/kit_recipes.htm Look at the 'pear cider' The addition of pear juice does make a difference, lending a little bit more mouth feel to the cider, compared to just using apple juice. I'd go 6L Apple + 1 or 2 of Pear + Kit, and some dextrose.
