You're on the right track mate, and it's refreshing to see someone who's not complacent about their health. Unfortunately, beer is pretty bad for insulin (alcohol & sugars), but so are a lot of things. On the other hand, fasting induces the exact opposite reaction :)

My thinking, based on a lot reading and discussion, is this: Historically, humans have adapted/evolved over a long period of time to survive as hunter/gatherers. 3 meals a day is a very recent concept, especially the big breakfast idea. Biologically I doubt humans as a whole have the ability...

No worries [emoji106] Milk definitely buggers up the fast, even a little bit. Hope the test results are helpful [emoji123]

Maybe you're not getting enough protein? Highly possible if you're not eating much meat. Protein ratio needs to be higher on restricted calories (you mentioned 1600). Hard to do that of your meat is low and you're not supplementing (Maybe you are?). People, and blokes especially, eat way less...

I don't want to derail this to a diet thread, but if you're at a whits end you should seriously try intermittent fasting. You can find all the info you need about the benefits etc. online, but basically just shift ALL your calories to an eating window of about 8 hours per day. Easiest way is to...

Vinegar - white or distilled

This is my understanding too. Quite happy to be the guinea pig with this one but having a new addition to the family just a week ago means I have no idea when I'll get to carry out this exbeeriment.

Thanks for the info! Anyone tried a bittered only beer with hop shots at kegging as the only flavor/aroma addition? Seems very economical...

So has anyone worked out how many ml are required for a keg to get a strong AIPA dry hop effect? Thinking of ordering some but don't know how much to get!

Holy crap! 6L is heaps. Some sort of pickup tube may be the go. Or just use more grain ;)

Just wondering... can anyone who has one of the olive centre 30L containers measure how high off the bottom the taps are? Or even better, what volume is left at the bottom when the tap stops flowing? Cheers, Josh.

Best strawberries I've ever had were the size of your thumbnail and grew on the side of a forest path in Switzerland. A life experience I will never forget. Like the flavour of 10 giant supermarket strawberries packed into one. Ever wondered what the artificial strawberry flavour is based on? I...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing SBOB :beer:

The Argon Method is probably pretty famailiar to most on AHB and I've used it with great results. I decided to change it up a bit recently by only heating to 70-80C and doing a whirlpool for about 15mins. Thinking about the best way to do this, it occurred to me that my wife's Bellini kitchen...

Awesome idea!

Clarification: I'm not saying it's a better build than yours! :) I meant it's a better build than the other filter conversion.

This is a better build. Only a slight variation on the other one but a much improved design I reckon. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/47440-hop-randall-filter-conversion/

I've just made a 'cheat' apple cider with straight store bought juice. No preservatives in it but food acid and flavour added I think. OG was 1.050 and I fermented with S-04. FG is stable at 1.015 and it drinks lovely still but I'll carbonate anyhow. The last two ciders I made where 2/3 Nudie...

Sinkas, why do say Little Creatures is losing their mojo?? I live local and have been going there regularly for over 10 years and find it's always great. Probably still the best in Freo. Their beers fresh from the tanks are very hard to beat. Mid arvo harbour-side seating out the back of the...

Ok, so the 22% crystal idea is out. I thought chrisluki was implying this was the 'secret' lol :) I wonder if the order of ingredients listed in the pic is an indication of quantities...? Most to least?
