Bibo Ergo Sum: Williams Brothers Scottish Midnight Sun Dark Porter Ale
http://bibo-ergo-sum.blogspot.com/2012/05/williams-brothers-scottish-midnight-sun.html
Diary of a Homebrewer. Friday, May 25, 2012. Williams Brothers Scottish Midnight Sun Dark Porter Ale. Recently, the small group of chaps who have join in on my quest to taste as much craft beer as possible have been becoming obsessed by Porters and Stouts. Occasionally Dark Ales feature, but these are often disappointing. So far, on the top of our list has been Murray's Dark Knight Porter. And Holgate's Chocolate Temptress. 5 / 5 Coasters. Incidentally, there really is nothing that distinguishes between ...

Bibo Ergo Sum: February 2010

Diary of a Homebrewer. Friday, February 12, 2010. Two full moons have passed since our New Years celebrations and what have I accomplished? I have conquered nations, brought vicious men to heel with an iron fist and filled my brain with the knowledge of ancients. Unfortunately this all adds up to pure bunkum when you realise it involves me sitting on my derriere fiddling with buttons and joysticks (ooeer matron! January has seen me enter a new period of determination;. Right after I finish this level.

Bibo Ergo Sum: April 2010
http://bibo-ergo-sum.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Diary of a Homebrewer. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. A Spot of Tea. The Good Doctor and myself were shocked to realise that we were married 5 years last weekend, so after the usual jokes about giving her wood. Were done (look it up) I took her on a secret treat to the Sir Stamford. In Circular Quay for High Tea. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and the Good Doctor and I left with our stomachs bulging and our hands shaking from the sugar rush. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bibo Ergo Sum: October 2011
http://bibo-ergo-sum.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Diary of a Homebrewer. Friday, October 21, 2011. Of course when it comes to homebrew can kits, it's a whole other story (that stuff is just nasty). This is a classic wheat beer (as the name suggests) modeled after the Paulaner recipe. The total cost for ingredients came out at about 40 AUD, largely as there is only one hop variety used and I chose to go for a dried wheat beer yeast rather than a liquid one. German dark Munich malt. 4% (the recipe suggests 5.4%). 2 Read the bloody instructions you fool!

Diary of a Homebrewer. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. After 18 months of inking.the masterpiece is almost finished. It started out small but snowballed, taking on a life of its own. I woke up one day and realised that it was now halfway down my back. I cried. Just finish the damn thing! I present to you the unfinished artwork depicting the Japanese legend of the Death Stone. Links to this post. Crossing the border for the French. At the National Gallery of Australia. But art is art.and that was only part...

Bibo Ergo Sum: January 2010

Diary of a Homebrewer. Tuesday, January 5, 2010. New Years Eve 2009/10. The Good Doctor and myself decided that something grand should be on the cards for December 31st, 2009 as we often find ourselves bereft of decent plans, watching the fireworks on T.V. on the lounge with an unfinished martini in hand. We turned to the Victoria Room. Then dinner came, and a full spread of animals was laid out before us - veal, lamb and fish - accompanied by chats, beans and a smashing haloumi salad. By the time we fin...

Bibo Ergo Sum: Long Trail Ale
http://bibo-ergo-sum.blogspot.com/2012/03/long-trail-ale.html
Diary of a Homebrewer. Saturday, March 3, 2012. We've got an all day poker match in a couple of months so I wanted a beer that would be easy drinking and in some way, remotely match the theme. I would have preferred a lager, but it's really the wrong time of year for them, and I have no way of lagering so I settled on the recipe for Long Trail Ale. It uses 4 different hops, and a touch of Wheat DME along with British Crystal malt as the specialty grain. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Awesome Inc....
