rebornsteve Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The first experiment we did in my psychology / physiology degree was to show the effects of alcohol on reaction times. Drinking 1 unit of alcohol actually increases your reaction times - avoid a car crash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their brewery was close by Strangeways prison. Robinsons out of Stockport, is still family owned and the last time I was in the UK, it was still a very good ale. Fullers and Youngs in London used to be my favourite tipple. I used to love the Belgian ales but a lot of them got bought out by the big conglomerates. Budvar from Checko is nice too. That’s funny I was going to mention Boddingtons, and Caffreys too, they’ve both got the same ‘creaminess’ to them, almost as smooth as real cream. You’ve got good taste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin1234 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 23 hours ago, bamboozooka said: during the lockdown i bought a complete homebrew kit with bottles off ebay around £80 i'm a noobie to it so i just use whats in the kit. once i've sussed it i might add spray malt to see what the difference is. if i try too much experimenting i'll ruin it. Buy yourself a keg. Massive time saver. Best way to mod it is to use hop pellets. 25g of citra in the fermenter and it tastes amazing, just like that stuff from Oakham ales. I don't actually drink much at all anymore as it gives me anxiety when I have too much, but I always have some in the keg just in case I fancy a couple. It keeps for 6 months in a keg and it costs pence to make. I used to mash my own grains and do full 5 gallon boils, but it's a lot of effort. The kits do the job. Wine kits are also excellent if you buy decent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Crabtree Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 My favourite beer when I lived in the Midlands was Bathams! I came home blathered one night, { well, lots of nights if I'm honest} I kept falling over going upstairs and my wife at that time shouted down 'What are you clattering about for at three in the morning? don't get waking them kids up, if you do, I won't happy'! I said 'I'm just trying to get a barrel of beer upstairs'! She said 'well leave it until morning and come to bed for gawd's sake'! I said 'I can't leave it'! She said 'why not'? And I said 'because I've already drunk it you silly cow'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Crabtree Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 2 hours ago, alexa said: Well even Jesus drank wine & Noah Yes he did, and every time he got pissed he did his little party trick of walking on water! Another party trick he did was to turn water into wine, well my party trick was just as clever as his, I had the ability to turn wine into water. Someone I shared digs with in the sixties had the habit of pissing in the sink when he was drunk, so one night I left the cold water tap trickling ever so slightly, and he stood there all night wondering why he was pissing for so long? Another thing, I always refused to join in a round with my brother and his mates because my brother always drank a double whisky with a Horlicks chaser and by the time his round came up, he was always asleep!

Dagon44 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 On 9/26/2022 at 2:33 PM, sock muppet said: Beer is usually about 96% water, varies slightly but that's the kind of water content i enjoy drinking, people are always banging on about the alcohol content, so let us remind ourselves of two very good factors to consider when drinking beer with a 96% water content. 1. The alcohol keeps the drinking water fresh and drinkable for a long time. 2. I like it. And don't forget that the pasteurisation process kills the germs that also like to live in water, people forget that not everything that lives in water is good for you, people that drank beer are your ancestors because they lived to have sex and not die from Waterborne diseases, smart people if you ask me but then no one will so i just said it to be clear, and beer making predates the Khemtician/Egyption era, loads of interesting things when you start looking into it but none of the naysayers will because they are cry babies. I brew beer and I don’t pasteurise it … It’s a n organic process if there are any bacteria in it you know about it As long as the bottles the tub is clean all is well I love the fermentation process smells like freshly baked bread it’s like you’ve given life to something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was all in my own house with things out of the kitchen pots pans baking trays etc nothing special I made one brew which got infected and I cannot tell you how bad the smell once it was like a wave of smell that took over the house it was incredible. by the way I have made two lots of Thors hammer now once in 2020 and one last year and I’ve still got some bottles left from last year … everyone likes it I’d recommend getting a brewing belt that you use during the night the last thing you want is a stuck beer it’s very depressing. If you brew in late spring summer you will be ok but in winter you need a brew belt. Once you’ve brewed it try and leave it alone for at least two months … the longer you leave Thors hammer the better it improves with age. let me know how you get on feel free to msg me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
