I used to travel to Germany a lot before I retired, and it very quickly became my favourite German Pils. Unfortunately I have only ever seen it in bottles in the UK, but it is still worth drinking :thumbsup: PS - Credit to anybody who succeeds in successfully cloning it on a homebrew scale...

I also bought my last bag from them, and they appear to be no cleaner than any that I had bought from other suppliers prior to that. The rinse water is still very brown coloured. . . . . . . It's your choice, and to be honest, the risk of harm is probably quite small, but I prefer not to ingest it.

It may not be necessary, and there may not be any toxicity issue, but the colour of the rinse water suggests that at the very least they are not very clean.

Everything posted above concerning rice hulls is fine. However, there are a number of Forum members who suggest that they should be avoided because of the risk of contamination from pesticides etc. I don't really know if this is a real/serious risk, and I have suffered no ill effects myself from...

Went there a few years ago when we were camping on the Hawes Caravan Club site. We did the full tour, and It was really interesting. Well worth a visit :thumbsup: We bought some cheese of course, but unfortunately not as much as we would have liked because we didn't have much room in the...

The picture looks classy enough to go in a foody magazine ;)

My usual 'go to' cheeses are: a good Stilton (or other blue cheese), Wensleydale, crumbly Lancashire, Vintage Gouda, Camembert, and a runny Brie. But I've yet to find a cheese that I don't like, so I'll try anything that looks or smells interesting. . . . . . . . The perfect accompaniment for a...

I came across this web site recently in an article on low/no alcohol beer in the 'New Scientist' magazine :- The Best Non-Alcoholic Beers & Alcohol-Free Lagers in 2022 I've not had time to explore what's on his recommended list yet, but it looks interesting. Although I suspect that some of them...

Just give him a shabby suit and an Eton educated accent, and he will be perfect athumb..

'The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson' would make a good sitcom if it weren't such a tragic and dishonourable betrayal of trust 🤬

The advice given by The Baron (#7) is really sound. I got very frustrated with this issue last year, and got to the point of an 🤯. You have to accept that these machines are far from perfect in terms of control, but they are convenient in many other respects. However, there are a few things that...

Interesting . . . . . I've never worked in retail, so I wasn't aware of this.

I guess that there will be a lot of IKEA employees looking very closely at their contracts of employment.

Once again thanks. The video was useful (despite the rather flat voiceover). Unfortunately no mention of real mill speed, and I do appreciate that the roller diameter makes a difference. My mill rollers are certainly a bit smaller so the peripheral speed would be lower for the same rotational...

You mention using some plastic tubing to make a seal between the barb and the inside of the drain hole. Please be aware that it is not a good idea to use flexible PVC tube for this. PVC is not suitable for lengthy exposure to high temperatures. It is not thermally stable at 100 degC, and may...

Thanks for the reply (and also from LisaMC as well). You were really unlucky there. It had never occurred to me that the false bottom might move with the action of stirring. Your comments about the behaviour of your grain mill are also interesting. Do you know what speed it runs at? The reason...

I forgot to mention that I also moisture condition the grain prior to milling. This results in a much less dusty grist, so less of it floating around in the circulating mash liquid.

I saw your post, and as it is (and has been for some time) a topic of interest, I wanted to enquire about the circumstances. What caused the blockage, and when in the process did it happen? I know that it has been mentioned many times before but grain crush seems to make a noticeable difference...

If anybody is interested in an easy to follow explanation of viruses, testing, transmission, mathematical modelling techniques etc, I recommend watching the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, hosted by Prof. JVT. The three one hour programmes were shown live on BBC4 just after Christmas, but...

I've not been on for a few days because I was feeling really rough. But fortunately I'm a bit less rough today, so perhaps I'm over the worst. The PCR test kit arrived the following day (i.e. Tuesday), so I got that done immediately, and my wife took it straight away to the nearest 'priority'...
