The beer thread

Just posted in the joke thread but fits here too
I so want to get stopped and say to the police 'it's ok, it's Road Cider'.
Almost like it's made for drink driving at only 5.2%

I prefer to make my own, it’s all about the science. Not.

Sparging is really very simple, you are after all only rinsing the last of the wort off the grains. I have sparged with cold water instead of around the usual 68 degrees that I have mashed at and guess what, tasted just the same.

Anybody in or visiting the UK I would recommend the Real Ale Finder app as a useful resource. I was based in Alnwick for a week in July and could be found in the Tanners Arms most evenings, 11 taps (10 beer, 1 cider) all locally sourced, heavenly.
