    Adventures in glucoamylase and my path to cracking Japanese lagers

    Just saw this thread, and thought it looked interesting. I found this TDS for AMG-Amyloglucosidase (aka glucoamylase) on the Murphy & Son website (see attached pdf) . . . . . And top of the list of the claimed "benefits" is: Increases attenuation and alcohol yield Please report back on how it...

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    Both my wife and I received the following text message from our local GP's surgery/Health Centre this morning . . . . . "Following the PM's speech yesterday, it appears all GP Practices may be asked to pause usual activity to urgently prioritise the COVID booster programme. We've only heard...

    Boris at PMQ's

    His numerous denials that any rules were broken are starting to smell more and more like ********, especially now that AS has resigned. There is no smoke without fire . . . . He should do the honourable thing, and fall on his sword.

    Some of Peter Gabriel's costumes for the Foxtrot Tour were a bit weird too.

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    Are you saying this based on a clear understanding of how the healthcare system in the UK is funded? The NHS offers free medical care for all that need it without bias. It has its faults, but it works for everybody whatever your politics, whatever your religion, and whatever your beliefs . . ...

    If you look closely at this one, you can see the hidden figures. Its very clever.

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    The British way has in recent times tended strongly towards achieving a consensus by persuasion rather than by force. Nobody likes being told what to do, even if/when they are either misguided or wrong. I sincerely hope that the dissenters in this country can be persuaded to get themselves and...

    Is there any interest in a possible group purchase of glucanase (aka beta glucanase)?

    Just for the record, I attempted to make contact with Erbsloeh by e-mail. They did not reply. I have therefore decided to give up (at least for the time being) on my quest to source small quantities of beta-glucanase.

    Pre 95 Boddingtons anyone ?

    The description is spot on . . . . . I am well on the way to being persuaded to give it a try. Although I think I would increase the bitterness a bit - perhaps to a calculated ~40 IBU. 🤞

    Pre 95 Boddingtons anyone ?

    Thanks for replying. To be honest I'm not entirely sure that I would like it as much now. My tastes in beer have changed over the years, but the thought of it brought back some good memories of getting pi55ed in Blackpool on expenses 🥴 I'm not a big fan of attempting to make clone beers because...

    Pre 95 Boddingtons anyone ?

    I also remember the late 1970s and 1980s Boddingtons with some affection. I worked for a company with it's headquarters in the south east, but travelled quite often to one of the production plants in Thornton Cleveleys. I developed a liking for it in pubs in Fleetwood and Blackpool on those...

    Pre 95 Boddingtons anyone ?

    Interesting . . . . Have you brewed either of these yourself? And if so what was the verdict?

    Ginger Beer

    I've made alcoholic ginger beer a couple of times. Once with a recipe similar to AB's suggestion, and once with a lightly hopped simple pale ale wort. They both worked out fine, and were quite drinkable . . . . . However, they both fermented out very dry indeed. So, if you want some residual...
