I think the word is just created to confuse things. My experience seems to be that the word is mostly used by people who are into conspiracy theories, and that their "wokeness" is the belief in the truth of these conspiracy theories. "Woke" is probably the most utterly useless and meaningless...

I think the main psychological problem is resentment of those who work against those who do not want to work. That way you get a Morlock-Eloi dichotomy. I think that a "Less-Work" movement would have a better chance, with the possibility that the people who work can also profit from the system...

We got interested in making yoghurt this summer, staying for a couple of days in Normandy. The hostess made her own yoghurt for the breakfast. So we bought a yoghurt maker. I have experimented with UHT semi-skimmed and unskimmed, and pasteurised (less than 80° C) full fat milk. I like the last...

That means that originally it had 84000 employees, and now still 73000. One wonders what all these people do, in contrast to a company like CNH, which employs around 64000 people, but which builds real products, ranging from garden implements to combines and tractors, and associated things. I...

It somehow always gratifies me when such one-liners are debunked.

When I went to London beginning of September, we already had an average price of £7 per pint. London prices?

Maybe I have just a short memory :-p But I see here recommendations of dark sugar. Leffe is a blond beer.

You have to think like a professional brewer. In a product like Leffe, the cheapest sucrose based product would be used (maybe partially inverted so it stays liquid).

The great medieval water myth

Actually, you should do the test with boiling water AND the ice bath. And depending on the height you live, water could boil at a lower temperature. It seems to change rather quickly: High-altitude cooking.

Could have easily been no-boil, as documented here

Yeah, when we were in London in the beginning of September, we were startled by the prices, with three we were always around £20, for two pints of beer and a pint of cider. On the other hand, when calculating this to local Belgian (pub) prices (33 cl -> 50 cl, 4,5 EUR), I also get around 21 EUR...

I think this comes from Brülosophy, where they did experiments with shorter boils vs. longer boils to check for the differences in DMS. The results were that there were no appreciable differences. And this result was then carried through to their "Short and Shoddy" series, where beers are brewed...

When I brewed a Leffe clone with M20, I let it lager a couple of weeks to clear it. Someone on the Flemish HBF mentioned Leffe being a kind of cristal weizen, so I tried it that way (30 wheat, 70% pilsner malt). It worked very well; the day after I tasted the first bottle I was at the liquor...

Belgian aromatic is a high dried malt of 50 EBC.Like said above, you can probably substitute it with three times its amount of Munich malt, and remove some of the base malt in the recipe. The advantage of the Special B is that it helps colouring your stout. Dingemans recommends it as a...

Oh, and I don't even bottle with corks. I use swing top bottles.

Always take the historical context into account. People have brewed for at least 7000 years, scientific brewing (using thermometer and hydrometer) is around 250 yrs old, and the chemical and biological knowledge around 150 yrs. If it hadn't tasted well in the years before, surely humanity would...

Tart is probably a little unripe. I taste the same with some of my varieties here. I have the luck to be able to blend my homegrown grapes (two white and one red variety). It tastes better than using a single variety (unless maybe they have sun the whole day). That said, the above is what I...
