yeah.... the one I had in Vietnam was redder.... there is a place in perth Phi Yen they make a great one!.... Had a really bad one in Melbourne but that was my fault! My x had the broken rice and pork chop and that was crap also! Was the person sharing your table eating the same thing? I want to go back to Vietnam! But with my mortgage its looking far off!

I wonder is Sea Crap is anything like Pepsi Crap. Do you think they mean CRAB?

Yeah only had one thing, the woman selling had a big 100L pot filled to the brim. She spoke not a word of English so all i could gesture was (one please) but a younger Viet lady was fluent in english and had a chat for me and made sure we got exactly what the locals eat! :icon_cheers:

The best and only place to get Viet is down Victoria St in Richmond. CBD Viet is not all that great, unless you goto Ph Bo Ga Mekong on swanton st! :icon_drool2:

4* - yeah i was thinking a golden triple then making the partigyle from that. sort of like a leffe blonde light (if thats basterdising enough styles!)
so what are thoughts on the partigyle we made?

Yeah must got a blone, you dont ahve todo it as a belgian, you could always use the malt bill for a cream ale or anything else your heart desires.

Well i think the partigyle is ok. Not a showstopper but decent enough to quaff. It will get entered in the British Ales comp just to see how it sits as a Best Bitter. I think the caraaroma detracts somewhat from the big beer qualities that where in it. In hindsight, probably medium crystal would have been a better option over dark/caraaroma but the results will show how it stands i guess.

HB79 - congrats man. our eldest (3yrs) keeps asking for a brother. she already has a sister to torment why does she need another one!

The thing with kids is they come out with a degree in psychology, they know the more of them there are the easier it is to defeat us <_< Cheeky buggers

I actually went onto AHB when I was in Melbourne as I was trying to find you post where the best location was... couldnt find it for some reason I was thinking Carlton. We went somewhere on Swanton street but not Ph Bo Ga Mekong. We did stop there bummer!

Im having a vietnamese pork roll for lunch. YUM

Gees, you'd think they'd have put a decent engine in it h34r: :lol:

One of our local free papers had an article about a local Holden Owners Club.
When asked why they loved Holdens, the first reason given was "it's Australian owned". Wonder what GM USA would think of their star performer being stolen from them?
No wonder supercar V8 racing is so popular in Aus. The bogans who follow it can't count beyond two. Do you follow Dearborn Ford or Detroit GM? Nothing Aus about it at all, other than a vague similarity in the shape of the cars to what's on our roads.

:huh:

Thats usually my lunch on a brewday. Dough in, put the HLT back on again and go for a walk down Victoria St and pickup a Roast Pork baguette from saigon bakery (best ones in Melbourne, $3.80!). By the time im home with a full belly, its close to mash out time. :icon_chickcheers:

well its only meant to be a 'table' beer not a comp winner.
I was going to enter mine also but waws thinking of entering it as a mild. nmot really dark enough but why not.

dont talk badly about caraaroma! I love the stuff. I assume you are meaning we shouldnt have put it into the BW,as we didnt put any into the partigyle. we used carared and caramunich as a top up in the PG. (BTW nice bloody pic of the PG in the brew day thread thread).

We did? :blink: my understanding was you ran out of dark crystal for the BW and we changed the recipe to suit with JW crystal?! Then the partigyle had carapils, carared and medium crystal/caramunich which you ended up subbing caramunich with caraaroma because you ran out?

Basically it has a light burnt sugar note i usually pickup from caraaroma in the beer. The beer is good, is just the the lingering burnt sugar/burnt toast character im detecting that throws it for me. Maybe with a little age it will mellow to my palate. :super:

I was just rereading the thread. To be honest I don't remember

meh! It's bottled, paid for and being entered into the British ales comp. If it places, i'll be damned if i can submit a recipe because its pretty much a once off beer by the sounds of things :lol:

Bugger. My car alarm remote (which broke off the keyring ages ago) went through the wash last night, still in the pocket of my pants.
The alarm is dicky and sets itself automatically, therefore I need to override it everytime I get in now!
Looks like I'll be pulling the dash off and going mental with the soldering iron tonight, trying to override the prick.

 

[Katherine]

Im excited first party I have ever thrown tommorow night! House warming!

Off to see The Cult next week, I saw them 15 years ago! whaoooooo
!

 

[drew9242]

So you got a heap of beer brewed up for the occasion.

 

[Katherine]

I just had a few pints of golden ale at the generous squire... bloody good! or maybe my palate was delighted after drinking Coronas for the past 6 months!

this is a man after my own heart, however if I get that bad just kill me.


Hey Katie, any thoughts of getting back into brewing and doing the Biggest Brew Day again this year? I get mountains of junk mail from the RSPCA since last year and I should do it again to justify all the trees they are cutting down for me :icon_cheers:

I gave my brew gear away to charity BribieG, and Im heavily mortgaged to afford to get the gear again. Im enjoying my life very much and cut the drinking down to a min. I do miss the hobby but not the addiction. Im also very very busy.

I would take that up with the QLD rspca as I put the donations the Australian Wide RSPCA and got no junk mail. Though the breast cancer foundation are hounding me!

 

[Pollux]

Have to post this somewhere.....

Just got a phone call from work, I got the promotion that I missed out on last year......Oh Yeah.......Now, where did I put that Unibroue 3 pk??

Yes I don't drink any more myself. Or any less. I might take over the biggest brew day and start a thread off nearer to the date. Can't be any harder than the Chinese Hop Buy h34r:



Edit: onya Pollux I remember you were really pissed off about that. So what's the new job, are you one of those guys with a bluetooth in their ear and a sharp suit who prowl around and look out for Blakes Eleven crews trying to scam the casino?
