Beer and Victuals: March 2010
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 29, 2010. Bottling my Noble Pale Ale. Before I brewed the beer on Sunday, I had a beer to bottle to make space in the spare room. As anyone who has ever bottled will tell you, it's a bit of a pain. Washing the bottles, drying them and then sterilising and, if you're unlucky, rinsing. There are ways to make the job a little less tedious. I'll run through what I consider almost the optimal bottling setup for the average homebrewer who doesn't have cornelius kegs and a beer gun. That's the bot...

Beer and Victuals: Hummus and garlic dip.
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2010/04/hummus-and-garlic-dip.html
Sunday, April 18, 2010. Hummus and garlic dip. So I decided to do hummus for tea yesterday, I didn't do the garlic dip so have no shots of it, but if you want a really nice snack or salad, try out the hummus. It freezes well and scales up really well for a party, so you can make it in bulk. It's also great with olives to dip in it, toast some pitta, chop some raw veg.lots of things you can dip in it and have with it. Juice of 1 lemon. 2 tbsps Olive oil. Chopped Fresh parsley or Coriander for garnish.

Beer and Victuals: July 2011
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. I was at home recently and after a conversation with my wife decided to make some Honeycomb, or cinder toffee as she calls it. I'd never made it before and as an Irish person that closest you're going to get to this is a Crunchie bar unless you had someone to make it for you as a kid. Cinder Toffee in chocolate. 1/2 tbsp bicarb of soda. Chocolate, I used lidl dark for the adults and some lidl milk chocolate for my three year old. If you overwork it once it's had the bicarb added yo...

Beer and Victuals: June 2011
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. Using liquid yeasts, making starters and cultivating yeast from a bottle. When you get into brewing a bit you start to realise the importance that yeast plays in the process of producing good beer. It seems obvious but when you start with kits you're presented with a simple packet of dried yeast to pitch on top of your mixed up wort and away it goes, no calculations, no messing with starters, just pitch it and go. Some people will talk about acid washing.it's a last ditch att...

Beer and Victuals: Filet steak as inexpensive as it gets.
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011/06/filet-steak-as-inexpensive-as-it-gets.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. Filet steak as inexpensive as it gets. I like filet steak, as does my wife, problem is that it's normally very expensive stuff. The last time I looked in the supermarket, two smallish pieces of filet were €15, which is a bit too much for a dinner. I get large whole filets from a local butchers trade counter in the Rosemount Industrial estate. They charge €17/kg as the whole piece. Wikipedia entry on beef tenderloin. Wiki on Filet Mignon. I tend to cut off the muscle that sits at th...

Beer and Victuals: Recipe All Grain Bi-Winning Pilsener. BIAB
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2011/06/recipe-all-grain-bi-winning-pilsener.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. Recipe All Grain Bi-Winning Pilsener. BIAB. I stuck with the Charlie Sheen theme for this beer which is also my first ever Pilsener, it's a hard enough style, but I now own a lagering freezer which I shall also detail in a future post. 14kg Weyermanns Pilsener malt. 145g Saaz @ 90 mins. 50g Saaz @ 60 mins. 50g Saaz @ 30 mins. I ended up with 55l of 1.050 wort. I treated the water with CRS and DLS to get the levels just right. Hot break, small flecks in the brew. This is still in my...

Beer and Victuals: How to get the most out of a chicken.
http://beernvictuals.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-get-most-out-of-chicken.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. How to get the most out of a chicken. I often hear people complain about the price of good chickens and the fact that they can't justify buying them. My solution to that is to get the best out of a chicken. I find chicken can sometimes be too dry when taken off the bone and cooked, so what I do, is poach the chicken and then take it off the bone, I pick the carcass absolutely clean. I fill the pot almost to covering the chicken and then put it on to boil. Disclaimer: I realise t...
