SWMBO loves that but with chicken. A favourite of mine is slice open a chicken breast, stuff with herbs and parmesan cheese, wrap in ham, top with sliced mushrooms and more cheese, wrap in a foil parcel with a glass of white wine (maybe less) then cook in the oven until chicken is done...

I was using some Grolsch bottles before and over primed the buggers, the first one I opened shot the 'fliptop' lid of the bottle and it bounced off the cupboard and then the wall. I opened the rest of the bottles sideways in the bath.

Sunderland fan here. Woe is me.

My dad gave me one of his beers with is own hops in, was alright like!

I don't think wine bottles are made to stand the pressure of the beer when it carbonates in the bottle, I think either the top will pop off or the glass will shatter.

Last night, put sliced mushrooms, onions and potatoes into a baking dish. made some cheese sauce with extra sauce, extra cheese and a tsp of course ground mustard. poured the sauce over the veg and bunged in the over covered with foil. kept stirring occasionally so the potatoes would cook...

I 'nipped' out to lunch with my gf's family, ended up being a 6 hour adventure, but it was fun. I had pizza, and people bought me beer.

If it helps, to control my fv temp i use a fish tank heater :)

I went to the pub after work a couple of years back when my lass worked there, was chatting to a mate and then accompanied them outside while they had a tab, went back into the pub and we left 15 mins later, me, my gf and my mate went back to mine and all i remember is stumbling up the street...

Oh just found this. Sunderland. The clarendon, nice little pub by the river, has it's own microbrewery in the cellar, they usually have 3-4 beers of their own on and 5 litre minicasks are sometimes available to take home. The Borough, my favourite watering hole, in the centre of town...

Never done one myself, all I know is that the yeast ferments at lower temps (around 11c?) so it'll take longer. someone on here has just posted a recipe for lager, have a look for tips!

I got a kit for xmas and made that a few weeks back, I had a couple of pounds of golden promise left in my cupboard so i just mashed that and added it instead of sugar. I got the same sort of skin on the beer in the fv, I find it weird it didn't happen on my first ag or on any of my previous...

juice was on offer at the time 2 bottles for £1.50

that's what happened to my first keg. when i was sanitising it, i had it sat in the bath and i tipped it onto it's side so the solution would have made contact with all of the keg, but i slipped and the keg dropped the last few inches, somehow this caused my lid to crack and i had to dash off...

oh no, not last ever, but we're pretty tight for money at the minute and all of my expenditure is being scrutinised by the gf. the beer itself went weird, it formed a skin during fermentation after the krausen died away (i'd never seen this before, but apparently it's the co2 rising and taking...
