My folks got some random's at the chip shop to witness their vows. Bought em a drink and they buggered off after.
I got left with my real dad for a whole week. Which was bliss !
On the subject of books. I always used to get books at Christmas time as a kid. Especially the book of world records from that well known beer maker.
Its not Christmas without a book. I'm just missing water and malt from the brewing elements series. Ones I really hope to get this year.
I...
This is why I turned to using a refractometer. Only need a drop. But I still often double check with a hydrometer. I found there's a very small percentage of error. Nothing to write home about.
But I'd still like a finishing hydrometer. The expanded scale would make things a lot easier.
I...
Being that it's now partially legal in the UK. And the discussion I was hoping for was centered around hops and their derivatives I'm sure we can all be adults about this.
Funny how the UK is a big exporter of the the raw material stuff though aye?
Anyway back to brewing.
I Googled beer and weed. And apart from the trend i was originally talking about. Quite a few people have asked if certain hops smell like cannabis. Anyone else had this.
One I read said...
The UK version on sale to the public is a gimmick. It doesn't contain any active ingredients. Hence why it's sold in high street shops and people get stopped at customs for trying to import the real thing.
Im aware of discretion. I was suggesting it purely in the botanical sense. That being that hops and cannabis are very closely related.
There's a beer. Titanic brew I think it is. That to me smells strongly of weed. So much so that when I opened a bottle at my mother's house she accused me of...
Hops are a close relative of cannabis. This is, I suppose what i was getting at.
Is it right or wrong for the US to have 'weed' beer?
Is this something that could come to the UK?
After all hops are known to make people feel sleepy.
I was getting more along the lines of cannabis being in the same plant group as hops. Other than what people will, wont or want to smoke.
I'm guessing it's a gimmick over there. Or maybe a flavour?
Dark farm 10 litre keg and the doobry firkins to go with it.
Did you know I can get a discount because of that forum I'm always looking at.
I say to the wife and mother in law ALL THE TIME
Congrats to you and the better 3/4's
The wife and I were together for 6 years before we got married. Not as long as you. People often ask.
So what's it feel like to be married now?
Exactly the same as before. Only she legally owns half my debt now.

Without breaking any forum rules I hope. They are changing the rules around craft brewing.
With the legality of cannabis and it's derivatives in the US and Canada changing. Many craft...
I've only tried natural fermentation on cider once.
Being as the apples I picked were from near a road side I can only assume that the wild yeast on the skins wasn't a good one.
Whilst it did ferment. And some friends who tried it liked it. To me it tasted like the smell you get from the...
