Currently drinking Timothy Taylor Landlord Pale Ale (4.1%), very nice it is too. I'd recommend it as a session ale for anyone. Looking through the posts above I notice Inveralmond Blackfriars. I have drank that on a few occaisions and thought it was excellent.

Sounds a lot like an American Mike Ashley.

Not really it doesnt sound sincere Mibbees aye or mibbee one of these

Having won the UTT on the BTC. How does this impact on the whole allegation that Rangers were massive cheats? Does anyone from this thread have anything to say for thumselves? An apology maybe?

Rangers appoint new NonExec Director Norman Crighton. He will chair an Investment Committe at the club. He is Dundonian and has 20 odd years experience in finance and corporate restructuring. Also I dont know if this is news or not but apparently Dundee's Chief Exec Scot Gardiner is the likely next CEO of Rangers. Scotsman Link Edit to add: Just read on STV site that Gardiner has turned the role down.

Not worth a thread of its own but quite good: Identify the footballing cliches I scored 14 out of a possible 15.

Has it always been the case that you can report your own post on P&B? I noticed today there is a report button on my own posts even though I'm logged into the forum. I just wondered if this was a glitch.

I think you're onto something there. So to speak.

Im trying to figure this one out: Jenny Talwarts? Janet Alwarts? Janetta L Warts?

I saw the tail end of the documentary and must say I didnt have much time for either the EDL guy or the Muslim Cleric he was "debating" with.

I dont like wind turbines either but its comments like "dumbest leader of the free world" and "loser" I'm referring to. I'm not a fan of Salmond (or many politicians for that matter) but cant help thinking these are just the words of a spolied billionaire with his nose out of joint.

Donald Trump getting stuck into Wee Eck earlier today. Not a huge fan of either of them tbh.

Yes. You can drink it before the month is out but it may be cloudy as the yeast sediment has not settled yet. Ideally one week for primary fermentation in the bucket, one week in the barrel in the warm for the priming sugar (which you will add to the barrel) to ferment and carbonate the beer. Then 3 put the barrel in a cold place like a shed or garage to condition for 3 weeks. Conditioning lets the yeast sediment drop to the bottom and solidify and also results in better carbonation. Be careful not to shake the barrel about to much as you want the yeast to settle.

Motherwell is a bit of a hole.

Turbo cider is the easiest to make, supposedly it is similar to Scrumpy. Its made from cartons of apple juice. Ho to guide in link below. http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=25735 I have never made this myself though.

I tried it once but found that everything needs to be sterilised to prevent infecting the brew. This is fine for your fermenting bin but when you need 40 pint bottles to put it in once brewed it can be a pain in the arse. I gave up on it, but if I was doing it again I would invest in a pressure barrel with the CO2 system. This is for storing the beer once brewed, not for fermenting in. The advantage is it keeps the beer fresh by preventing oxidation. The CO2 doesnt affect the beer. You can buy a plastic barrel that doesnt have the CO2 injector but once opened you need to drink the 40 pints in a few days otherwise it goes off. With the pressure barrel there is a valve system that allows you to inject Co2 into the air space in the barrel and drive the air there out. This blanket of CO2 protects the beer. The problem is once you drink some, more air is drawn in and you need to repeat the Co2 process to remove said air. Basically you need a fermenting bin to ferment ther beer, a syphon tube to syphon it off and then ideally the plastic CO2 barrel to store it in before and during drinking. Bear in mind that the beer neeeds to be stored for a month or more after fermenting in order to carbonate and condition. Also a hydrometer to measure the progress of the fermentation and calculate the ABV %age. Fermentation takes around a week. Lagers need to be fermented in colder temepratures (say 14-16 degrees C) if you are brewing in a centrally heated house then ales are the better option as they fement best at 18-20 degrees C. Mine was a Bitter, it was OK but not great. Below is a link to a how to guide for first time kit brewers. The instructions on the can apparently are over simplistic and dont get you the best results. http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=24822

St Peter's Ruby Ale gets a good name, though I have never brewed it myself.

Had a couple of their beers but never that one. Had the Dark Munro and the Scapa Special. Both very good.

Just drank a bottle of this purchased from Valhalla's Goat. It was completely sour, draw your cheeks in stuff. Strangely it was drinkable but I decided to stop drinking as I suspect it was off. It was dated January 2014 but something was not right, there was no bitterness from the hops just a completely sour lemony taste. I have drank enough IPAs to know that this was not normal. Also it was very cloudy. I also had a bottle of Fyne Ales Jarl tonight and it was tremendous. Id say the best sub 4% beer I have had.

Glad to see the thread still going strong. I understand why Rangers fans still post in here but as for the rest of you I feel you need to find another hobby. Stamp collecting, train spotting, maybe do a jigsaw. You might find some ideas atthe link below. http://www.about.com/hobbies/

Yes it goes well with your purple duffle coat.

A well earned Schiehallion and a Dark Sland for me tonight while watching the Belgium game. Ive been off the beer for a few weeks, they went down a treat. On to the Caol Ila now

Rather not say on internet but reasonably close to Glasgow. None of my local supermarkets had it.

I watched a review on YouTube saying the Irish Whiskey cask Innis and gunn was excellent but I have never seen it anywhere.
