With no alcohol in it, they should rename it Jizz.

Speaking of beer, I'm drinking a local rye IPA at the moment, holy crap! It still has barley in it, I don't know what proportions of barley vs. rye are (though barley comes earlier on the ingredients list, indicating it is more), but it's a little quirky...

A little tip for the homebrewers also in hot climates. I used to use a fan and wet towel to keep the fermenter at the sweet spot(coolgardie cooler). If it got very hot I put an ice brick on the lid with a shopping/freezer bag over it. It worked pretty well, always around 22c BUT I have found that I can put the fermenter in my bar fridge(turned off) with a ice brick on the lid and it is good for 12hrs and sits at 18-19c. I was going to get the fridge thermostat thingy that the fridge plugs into and maintains a stable temp but now I don't need to.

Mmmm really looking forward to the next Pale Ale!! Extra Extra Awesomeness.

FWIW to the homebrew naysayers I had some fussy friends over last weekend who BYO'ed, end result.......No home brew but I have lots of commercial beer left over.

You're nearly there, jump on Ebay and buy yourself an STC-1000.

every home brewer I know drinks too much! (I drink too much) but if I home brewed I'd be worse

"the more you drink the more you save"

Really need to try making some of my own.

Had to laugh down at bws today Carlton Draught at $52 on SPECIAL??!! When did that happen? (Been drinking emu export for a long time, fits in the esky better for fishing )

Nothing wrong with the stuff but I dunno about them belonging in the 50 bucks plus selection.

Good, nice and refreshing:

^^^How's the head this morn?

Looking forward to sampling a couple of those one night this week - got the 90min & palo santo chilling in my fridge atm along with a longneck of-
