    Corned beef.

    I need to read more about sodium nitrate as well then @foxy @An Ankoù , UK corned beef can be eaten unheated. The canned version as opposed to the sliced version cut up thick and grilled with melted cheese on top smothered in beans in a burger is a delight.

    Anna's Brewdays

    I wouldn't fret about the selfie you look deep in study. athumb.. - My last photo taken for an ID badge looked like someone had unexpectedly shoved a pineapple up where the sun doesn't shine. I did point this out to security they said not to worry , we'll put a pinapple to one side in case...

    Food Hacks / Pimps

    My cheese sauce is cornish cruncher cheese, milk, butter and a bit of flour. lots of sat fat but not ultraprocessed. I have take to adding some white wine and a spoonful of mustard for extra punch. Current consensus says it's bad for you although Tim Spector would be happy with the cheese as...

    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    I can recommend penderyn Maderia cask. It started Mrs DOJ & I on our journey into good whisky. Previously we were exposed to bells and teachers which to us now seem like the Fosters of Whiskies. Dalwhinnie 15 , Glenkinchie 12 and Balblair 12 are all ones we like. Clynleish 14 we'll not be...

    Food Hacks / Pimps

    ta, athumb.. I'd forgotten about chocolate ice cream with creme de menthe over it. Better than mint ice cream with creme de cocao over it strangely.🤔 edit: vanilla/chocolate and cointreau/grand marnier too....

    Food Hacks / Pimps

    Hi y'all , As brewers a lot of us shall we say , tweak, pimp or hack recipies. In fact it almost seems to be the law given there are so many variables to play around with. So my question is what hacks and pimps do you apply to a standard food item? Since brewing I've learnt to apply the same...

    Beer kit enhancers

    I think I used a whole 454g tin of T&L treacle once. it took ages before it was drinkable. In fact it was ok, but almost a year to get to ok isn't something I'd repeat.

    Beer kit enhancers

    And you can also use golden syrup that also brings something else to the table that you may be able to detect depending on the amount used. A 710g ish bottle certainly gives colour and a touch of flavor in a brew. it's also reasonable cheap and 75% sugar. As its partially inverted its a bit...

    Beer kit enhancers

    Enhancer sounds better than DME which sounds more like a weedkiller IMO. I used one once then 500g DME 500g sugar as that was cheaper. then 1kg of DME all the way until I ditched LME kits and went full DME/DWE

    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    So last night was a imperial stout. Probably more authentic than some of the impys today that I prefer as this has no carbonation really. I brewed something exactly like this a few years ago only with a little more fizz. Then is was time for dancing in the street yet another great beer with...

    The scheme that gives alcohol to alcoholics

    additional: I've now discovered whisky smoother than a babys bottom. Nothing like the bells and teachers 💩 my parents had in the drinks cupboard. they were the fosters of whisky.🤢 I had a balblair 12 in the malt room in inverness and wow better than dalwhinnie 15 and as good as penderyn...

    Higher stout consumption driven by female drinkers

    Mrs DOJ enjoys my 'xmas in a glass' darker concoctions in the darker months but turns to the 'dark' side - cider in lighter months.
