That's just a blatant plug for us to buy something off your site. Not very useful. How is that a recipe? That’s just a blatant plug for us to buy something off your site. Not very useful.

]]> Comment on Ginger Beer by David Gross http://sanfranciscobrewcraft.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/ginger-beer/#comment-283 David Gross Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:44:48 +0000 http://sanfranciscobrewcraft.wordpress.com/?p=73#comment-283 I've just bottled a ginger beer that's pretty much just ginger, sugar, lemon & lime juice, and yeast. We'll see how it goes. On tasting some pre-bottling I think it'd probably be better sweeter and perhaps I should have bottled it sooner or added some less yeast-vulnerable sweetener. Did a couple of batches of hard cider earlier this year, one with added sugar and one with just the apple juice. I like them both. The first is nice and sweet with a sharp edge, the second is almost champagne-like in its dryness and its tiny bubbles.

"If a pig drank a quart of milk before he started, and ran a mile before he farted, and the further he runs the further he gets, how far will he get before he shits? Answer: The farmer said he saw the pig pass with buttermilk spurting from his ass. The farmer was a mile from where the pig started and the pig passed the farmer just after he farted. It seems to me if a pig could run a mile with a "puckered" ass and keep his wit, he’d git five miles before he shit.

If a pig drank a quart of buttermilk before he started and ran a mile before he farted, the faster he runs the furhter he gets how far can he run before he shits. Now in order for me to win this bet I must take you to the place where the fart was let. A farmer standing by the side of the road saw a pig pass with buttermilk shooting from his ass. Now the farmer had to laugh as the pig ran nearly a mile and a half. Now, if the pig is lucky and can hold his gas and run a mile with a puckered ass it seems to me if he can hold his wits he can run 5 miles before he shits.

If you are a source of rhizomes, please provide a link to any ordering info and I will add it to our list of commerical sources on our Grow-Hops Yahoo Group. I'm pretty sure that it's the largest and best Internet source of info about growing hops -- now with 990 members. All kinds of info, photos, etc. If anyone is interested the link is http://home.alltel.net/billvelek/growhops.html for our entry portal (I'm trying to link through that page to improve our search engine standing). There has been some recent discussion of 'vernalization' and a home 'titration' test to measure the AA% of your hops. As for Kombucha Tea, I used to make that years ago. I never used any brewing equipment though. Just a pot to boil tea and sugar, cooled it off, added the 'mushroom' (the floating cellulose culture), put it all into a large jar covered with some thin fabric fastened with a large rubber band to keep the flys out, and in a week or so it was done and ready to drink and start a new batch. It was pretty good stuff. Cheers. Bill Velek Note on Kombucha tea below, but my priority now is in brewing beer and growing hops.
