    Ideas For Mounting Co2 Fire Ext Upside Down.

    Why the brackets? The extinguisher is metal right? Just drill a hole in it and mount that sucker like a photo frame!

    Recent Poor Head/retention In Dark Ales. Wtf

    Have you tried any with the L/kg only, or the temperature steps only, to see if it was one or the other causing you grief? Or have you done both new things each time?

    Muntons Malts

    Hmmm. No replies. But I was going to ask the same question. Pretty sure it's the same lhbs. Some differences in naming, such as Mild ale malt having the same specs as Vienna. But the owner knows this and can help with recipes etc. Anyone had good out bad experiences with it? My Munich based...

    Fermenting Mandarin?

    I didn't read the op as meaning water purifying type Mandarin drink. Maybe try a Mandarin wine? My parents property has a few trees that get overloaded every winter. Been meaning to try something myself one winter. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request130.asp Our try some if the wine...

    Treatise Against Balance Of Flavours

    Bum nailed it. It's people talking about balance as though there are specific ratios of elements that create a perfect beer. BU:GU ratios and the like. I think using the word balance to describe accurately hitting a style is a misnomer too. I'm off to work listening to the silence of two...

    Treatise Against Balance Of Flavours

    (Ok, so maybe more post-it note length than a treatise). All the talk I read of balance in flavours, anyone would think there are malt and hop police cruising around taking measurements.

    Beer Labels And Logos

    Tried the labelizer website. Got a nice one to use on my latest batch. But no golden thread I can carry through repeat batches.
