An Interesting Claim About Brewing...

[TidalPete]

Aussies are now ordering a Low Carb Blonde beer with a dash of coke in the top.
Why???

In a fashion what goes around comes around.
In my youth lots of drinkers had their beer with a dash of sars (sarsaparilla) & quite refreshing on a hot day it was too. :super:
We often used sars to improve the taste of any beer that wasn't XXXX.
We all know that a shandy is a beer with a dash of lemonade but I think I'd draw the line at coca-cola.

TP :beer:

Last time I was at the Bavarian Bief Cafe the had a beer on the menu they called Diesel, which was Lwenbru Dunkel mixed with cola. Not something I would try but it was their.

The whole idea of turning Mountin Spew into anything even remotely appealing is laughable

There Seems to be a new barrage of advertising for this urine on TV now

Ugh, I'd take the crab juice

:lol:

Would be a big hit with all the goth vampire wannabees.

You should watch more southpark:

Fellow students, over the past week there has been a lot of confusion, so we have asked for this assembly to clarify the difference between goth kids and vampire kids. Let us make it abundantly clear: if you hate life, truely hate the sun, and need to smoke and drink coffee you are goth. If, however, you enjoy dressing in black 'cause its fun, enjoy putting sparkles on your cheeks, and follow the occult while avoiding anything that's bad for your health, then you are most likely a douchbag vampire wannabe boner. Because anybody who thinks they are actually a vampire is freaking retarded.

:icon_cheers:

Anyone tried brewing with milk? that's mostly water, right?

The Massai make a drink from fermented blood and milk.
Keeps them looking good on the inside.

There was a fermented milk beer / brew story in Japan that was on the AHB a while back.

Aw, c'mon. The best way to overthrow conformity is to all dress/behave the same way... wait. :unsure:

I'm starting up an anti-fascism club. First on the agenda... Uniforms.

Can I join - or are there strict eligibility criteria one must adhere to??

Edits purely for grammatical correctness... it has been a long week...

I once judged a mead that had milk added to it. Besides being cloudy, it was actually pretty good. The guy that made it explained afterward that he was after a way to sour it without using acids.

I had hoped as much

No criteria, but I want it to go smoothly, so you had better be good at taking directions. Just so I know you understand, we should probably work out a salute h34r: I think I'll end this tangent here.

Back on topic - my thoughts on making beer with beer - is this actually viable? Would using a fermented K&K batch be any different to just adding the kit after the kettle? Would a few bottles of Guinness Foreign Extra improve a (small batch) stout or just be a waste?

 

[peas_and_corn]

Adding Guinness to an empty glass is a waste of a good glass

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. Its the dress/behaviour that defines them as goth, not the other way around (they don't decide to be goth, and thus change their dress and behaviour to suit - I guess some people might, and would aptly be labelled wannabes or posers lol).

A member of my club made a really good beer some time ago by using a FWK as the "water" for his initial infusion of an AG batch & sparging as normal. I used the same method to make a Russian imperial stout and it turned out really, really well. Even won a couple of medals with it. I have an American barleywine planned using the same method.

It's an easy way to brew a high gravity beer without using so much malt.

My bad. I forgot just how much red & black tartan socks really encapsulate how I feel about the world. Don't get me started on Emo kids. How are drainpipe pants a statement? [/rant]
