Beer faults, their causes and cures
We all at times have a beer we are not happy with, where, to be honest we have STUFFED UP.
So, ask away about causes, talk about beers you were not happy with and let us all BREW BETTER!

Cooking with beer
People cook with wine, but you can cook just as well with beer.
The type of beer to use is a nice non-hoppy nut brown or bock, as boiling the beer down concentrates the bitterness
So, who will post some recipes?

Gluten-free brewing
As we all know, some people cannot eat foods containing gluten, this is coeliac disease.
Coeliac sufferers cannot drink beers made from barley because its gluten content, though small, is enough to make them sick

Wanted to buy or sell
Here you can advertise reasonably beer/wine/mead/cider/soft drink etc gear that you want to buy used or want to get rid off. you will need to post a phone or postal address-email addresses you can post but the @#$%& SPAM suckholes will harvest these and I accept no responsibility or liability for any consequent deluge of SPAM, identity theft etc.
I won't accept ads not clearly related to making beverages at home.

Cider making day
We have a crusher and a press, these can be used to crush apples as well as grapes and so I was thinking we could have a cider-making day: wash, core, halve, crush then press the apples, adding a little bit of ascorbic acid (Vit C) to prevent too extreme discloration of the juice and act as yeast nutrient.
So, anyone interested? Please post to this Forum if so

Some of the US type root beers are really nice--sometimes we just cannot drink beer, also the trouble and strife and/or kids might like a great tasting soft drink made for them in the brewery
