I think someone's found a way to get around the alocopop tax. h34r:

 

[Sammus]

I imagine the sugar in redskin is just as fermentable as any other sugar we put in wort

"WHY" would be my first question....

interested none the less!!!!


What about hops/bitterness??

 

[Swinging Beef]

I got put on my arse by a redskin beer made by an awesome home brewer back about four years ago.
I plan to re-assume the position.

Why?
Inspired by the the results of Dixie Cup competions that I read about years back.

Something makes me think this ones gonna be tart fuel, regarding the lack of bitterness.
Still shaking my head -but why not hey?

[bobbylugino]

was thinking the other day if you could use milo in a beer, just a thought...

 

[Dave70]

Ya know, I was drunk when I thought of it, but this has inspired me to dust off the recipe for my 'Mars bar porter'.

..no..

Didn't Cortez or someone do a redskin beer on here a while back?

And Milo has been discussed previously, but been knocked back due to the milk powder in it? There's a thread on here somewhere...

From my book on addtives:

"122 Azoribine or Carmoisine - suspected carcinogen, mutagen, skin rashes, odema, and hyperactivity. Banned in Sweden, USA and Norway. Previously banned in Australia"

But hey, the alcohol will probably negate the effect... hopefully.

It was my new years resolution.

Provide people with information without beating them around the head with it. Nothing worst that being preached to.

How am i doing?

 

[mje1980]

Let us know mate.
