today i went out into the backyard all disappointed that the beans and peas hadnt sprouted but then i looked closer and counted 6 broad bean shoots. im surprised they have sprouted- theyre in full shade and poorly drained soil. i am quite pleased.
today i also went to the welfare room at uni and there was milo and fresh milk! so good. milo is a treat for me. so is fresh milk nowadays.
Nice, I saw ginger beer at the 50 pound markets today (thats what Jeramy Clarkson of Top Gear fame calls them) as in 2 apples 50 pounds,1 peach 50 pounds, 4 oranges 50 pounds (you get the picture) his right England (and Australia for that matter) is not France ie top quality produce at fair prices ,anyways it was like 3 bottles for $17 ,

I ain't paying that for gassy sugar ginger water ?)
And I'm willing to bet it's been made for a mainstream palate to ie to sweet

, thanks but no thanks I'll pass....
I do hope you make this ginger beer from scratch you can buy the goop in the can and "just add water" I wasted countless $$$ and time trying to make palatable beer (real beer as in malt) with that goop , I perceived because so many people on the forums probably trolls paid for by Coopers , saying what wonderful beer it makes, nonseanse!
Good beer takes time and effort!
Ditto with dried yeast again and again I made so so beer occasionally quite ok I couldn't figure out why , well apparenlty the dehydration process does not 100 % gurantee "purity" for what ever reasons , without pure yeast you will have difficulty making clean tasting beer! I wish some one had told me this sooner! So yes stick to fresh yeast I was in Sydney recently at the Lord Nelson and I guessed correctly that they used dried yeast (even the brand /type) Safale US 56 , (am I clever or what

) it was a fine beer though it just wasn't quite right as in not enough seasoning on the hot chips not right though it did taste clean thankfully 8.5/10
