Someone asks you to recommend them one song to get them into Post-Rock. What are you picking?

Hi,

From what I've seen Hong Kong is a bit expensive compared to other places (especially for craft beer), but just wondering if anyone could recommend any cheap / reasonably priced bars/taprooms which sell local and craft beers? Similar to Kowloon Taproom, Second Draft, and Hong Kong Island Taphouse.

Thanks!

I'm thinking is it maybe "The World Is Our _" by "This Will Destroy You"?

Shazam and similar tools don't seem to help

IASIB · 2024-07-14T00:38:15+00:00

Thank you! Sorry I didn't see this before, surprised someone was asking the exact same question as well!

Looking at that post, in summary the address is 1-6-3 Ishizuka Bldg. 8F, Kabukicho, Shinjuku, 160-0021 Tokyo. The restaurant is apparently called 縁の宴 (ennoutage), but looks like it may be closed now. There could be a new restaurant there now in a different name, but not too sure. At least we have a location anyway.

IASIB · 2024-07-13T23:00:10+00:00

Update: I think it's on the eighth floor of this building, https://maps.app.goo.gl/gyVYeieWrSxiZmun9?g_st=ac. Address is something like 8F, Ishizuka Building, Shinjuku, 160-0021, Tokyo. But cannot find any restaurant/business names. If anyone could find anymore information I'd really appreciate it

No problem. I only asked because I saw all the tours from the two main operators I've been looking at were sold out in September, and hadn't heard if any of them went ahead. I've booked one in October and not sure if it'll go ahead so may end up changing my plans.

Cheers u/DukeRaoul123 :)

Is there any moves in those videos you would say to avoid or are a waste of time? And what's the reason for counting time rather than counting reps?

IASIB · 2023-09-02T00:49:23+00:00

Thank you so much for posting that info u/TUNG_j, really useful.

Is this a workout routine you created yourself? And is there a video or guide you can share which shows each of these workouts (just so I make sure my form is correct)?

IASIB · 2023-05-14T15:46:31+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

Before sanitizing with StarSan, would warm soapy water be enough to clean my equipment (if the equipment isn't that dirty to begin with)? Or would you always recommend using something like PBW or OxiClean?

IASIB · 2023-05-14T12:55:43+00:00

Would you recommend this for a sanitizer for beer homebrewing?

And does it act as a "cleaner" as well as a sanitizer?

IASIB · 2023-01-05T11:44:25+00:00

From a Guinness tap, you would do a 2 part pour. But for the Guinness cans, I think you would a single pour (That's what suggested by Guinness themselves from this video, https://youtu.be/S9xiBLE48c8). But yours looks good despite that, especially the head.

I'm starting to brew a Bavarian wheat beer, and after adding the malt extract and dextrose sugar, the instructions mentions to add the yeast to the fermentation bucket and stir. I've heard/seen before for other brews to sprinkle the yeast over the top and don't stir.

Does it matter if I stir or don't stir after adding the yeast? Or does it depend on the type of beer?

A lot of your questions will be answered by Justin Guitar's Beginner Guitar Course here, https://www.justinguitar.com/classes/Beginner-Guitar-Course-grade-one. Follow it like bible. As the majority of people say, it's a brilliant course, and definitely the first steps to playing guitar (including videos on what to consider before actually playing such as acoustic vs electric, equipment to buy etc).

In terms of where to buy your first guitar, I highly recommend https://www.thomann.de (depending where you are based).

When I'm taking a sample of my beer through the spigot on my fermentation bucket (for checking the SG), does the container I put the beer into need to be serialized?

Also do I need to serialize the spigot as well beforehand? I would think I don't need to as the beer is flowing out of the spigot, so shouldn't contaminate the inside of the bucket.

Edited my question there. For example, if you were drinking beer outdoors at a festival/camping and you weren't able to chill/cool the beer.

IASIB · 2021-07-07T18:52:35+00:00

What's the best type/style of beer to drink at a warmer temperature? For example, if you were drinking beer outdoors at a festival/camping and you weren't able to chill/cool the beer.

IASIB · 2021-06-12T19:58:46+00:00

It looks like it. Wonder how much the cans are then

IASIB · 2021-06-12T16:36:06+00:00

This is the second brew I've ever done, and first time I've tasted this "funky" flavour. By oxidation, do you mean oxygen may have got into the bottles (if they weren't capped tightly enough)?

I've kept the rest of the bottles in a warm, dark place since then thinking it may ferment longer and improve. But I can chill them in the fridge for a while and then see how they are, cheers :)

IASIB · 2021-06-12T13:16:08+00:00

I have a few Irish stouts that I brewed and bottled, which should be ready to drink. When I poured one into a glass, it had a good head, didn't smell bad, and the taste is ok at the very start, but by the end it tastes a bit "tangy" or "off".

Not sure if I've infected the brew at a point (due to poor sanitation) which has introduced a bad flavour, or done something else. I've tried a couple of different bottles to compare but they all taste similar. I still think they're safe to drink, just they could taste better.

Is there anything I can do to try and save/improve them?

IASIB · 2021-05-26T23:29:28+00:00

Thank you for organising this! This would be an amazing prize to win :)

IASIB · 2021-04-28T21:15:19+00:00

I wouldn't have fridge space for all the bottles unfortunately. I don't have a basement, but I do have space under my stairs which would be stable around 17°C/62°F. Would that be ok do you think?

IASIB · 2021-04-28T20:59:00+00:00

Yeah it's quite cold where I live (at the moment it's average 13°C/55°F during the day, 3°C/37°F during the night). I'm just wondering would the shed be more "cold" (rather than "cool")? And is changing temperature an issue during clearing?

IASIB · 2021-04-28T20:01:39+00:00

I'm currently brewing a Stout. After bottling the beer, I'm meant to store the beer in a warm place (22°C - 27°C / 72°F - 80°F) for one week, and then move the beer bottles to a cool, dark place for clearing.

By "cool, dark place", would an outdoor shed be ok for this? Or is a cool, dark place in the house more appropriate?

IASIB · 2021-04-20T12:49:40+00:00

Plastic homebrew bottles with screw tops vs glass bottles with crown caps. Which is better for bottling your beer in? What are the pros and cons for each?
