And where is this blog now? I was subscribed to the newsfeed and after not getting updates for some time went to see what's happened. What I saw, was the Corporation of Evil Google's announcement the blog has been removed. Violation of 1880s' recipes copyright, I suppose?

Make Mine a Magie's was a treasure trove to me. I brewed some of my best beers by the MMM recipes.
If it's gone for good, it's a really bad loss.

The link in the OP takes me to -

Blog has been removed
Sorry, the blog at oldbeersandbrewing.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs.

Did you expect to see your blog here? See: 'I can't find my blog on the web, where is it?'

 

[protos]

Yes, that's what I saw.
And it seems the blog has been removed no more than a couple of weeks ago.

Can anyone throw any light on where this blog has gone? It was one of my favourites. Has the owner withdrawn it or is something more sinister at work?

 

[peebee]

Yeah, losing that site is a bit tragic. But not "sinister". Edd's decision. He didn't want it distracting from work on his book (at least that's how I gleaned it? I.e. not actually from "the horse's mouth" ).

Google do cache some of the material on their sites, but it can be a struggle to navigate (I certainly couldn't capture more than about half of it).

Ron Pattinson has mentioned he needs to cover more of the "provincial" breweries (like Edd was doing) rather than concentrate on the big city boys (reading one of his recent blog post somewhere).

Meanwhile, there is mountains of Ron's stuff to sift through and I continue to try and make the Durden Park Beer Circle stuff (and other stuff) more accessible developing the old style malt (amber and brown) "emulations" (the "emulations" are an alternative to trying to actually make the stuff, or, much, much, worse; using "modern" amber and brown malts).

Nice to know that @BeerGuy2020 is OK and working on his book and that nothing really sinister has happened.

I have all his blog posts from March to August 2021 saved in my RSS-feed account, and what I missed (a whole year, from March 2020) I tried to recover from the Wayback Machine, but yeah, it's fragmentary and barely navigable there.

Missed his slightly quirky posts but Rons blog is a mine of information. I wonder if he ever sells many books with so much material being on his blog.
