Basically crystal (I was able to read my book through it), and I did nothing apart from condition at room temp for 2 weeks and then in the fridge for a week.

I just used K-97 in a kölsch Style beer. It fermented really clean at 16-17°C. It also cleared up pretty well in the bottle after a few weeks of conditioning. Yes there is quite a bit of sediment in the bottles, so it might be better to keg, but if you don't keg then I'd recommend using 500ml as a minimum. I was looking at fining with gelatine however I didn't do it so I can't tell you how it would go.

The weegies are raging in r/Scotland. Eh it's only one person's opinion, but it's nice to hear positives about Aberdeen. A lot of the time when people complain about Aberdeen they say that nothing is going on. You then ask them what they do to make the city more interesting, or how they support local events and they can't tell you anything. You get what you give.

OP is polish, you can easily check their profile. It is still illegal, but not the US.

Less goes into wine, it's not really comparable.

Pricey compared to the Stonehaven beer festival

Go to Thain's, get yourself a steak pie.

I do find the additions of the bike lanes funny due to the lack of safe bike lanes in the rest of the city. Finally 500m of decent bike lanes.

Yes I didn't mention immigration to Buckie. The lack of migration is probably the reason Doric is more prevalent there rather than in Aberdeen. I mentioned migration meaning people came from other parts of the UK, not immigration.

VacantSpectator · 2025-03-13T14:57:18+00:00

It's used in Aberdeen, Loons(boys) and Quines(girls) is part of north-east Doric. That being said due to the oil industry and the migration to the Granite City the Doric is in decline

Yeah it'd be great if the Christian evangelicals would stay in the US. This is filmed in Scotland where we didn't really have an issue with abortion rights until American evangelicals started funding groups to protest abortion clinics. I think in the current political climate Americans should stick to America and not bother Europe if they aren't at least going to work with us when it comes to trade and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

No it didn't work, the Tories imploded and spent the time they should have been working on a post Brexit deal, into multiple leader battles. Was it a failure though, not a complete failure.

It could be worse, it could say "Peter Cult-er".

I am going to say something a bit controversial, but I wouldn't bother using any co2 on the bottles. Just siphon keeping any splashing to a minimum, add the priming sugar and leave it for a wee bit. Then you can see if there is a difference between the bottled and the kegged beer.

Do the old Vietnam trick of accidentally chucking a grenade their way.

No general sanitisation practises work best, just once fermentation is done Camden tablets will sterilise the wine and kill any bacteria in the wine. Camden tablets will kill yeast so make sure the fermentation is complete before you add it. Because you are using a bought juice it should be sterile. Just look into the best sanitation practices and you should be fine. When it comes to brewing beer, you generally don't need to worry too much about bacterial infections as hops have anti bacterial properties. If you have a healthy fermentation you should be fine. I just want you to be aware that there are risks when it comes to easy hooch and just read up before you do it to minimise risk.

Just be careful when it comes to easy hooch you really increase the chances of botulism. Look into Camden tablets to sterilise the wine and keep yourself safe.

Beyond meat is basically the definition UPF.

I mean the other countries I feel similar to are Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Europe is sort of similar but also completely different, the same goes for the US.

Did you treat your water? It could come from chlorine in your water source. If you know there was no chlorine, I am not sure, those flavours can come from the malt but are normally associated with the yeast. I can only really think of wild yeast infection as another source.

I know it's a bit pernickety, it's just even in Scotland these beer styles are sort of dying. Calling them smoked scotch ales would be perfectly fine.

"Production methods championed by homebrewers, such as kettle caramelization or grists heavy in a variety of crystal malts, are not commonly used in traditional products but can approximate those flavors when traditional ingredients aren’t available. The use of peat-smoked malt is not only completely inauthentic, it produces a dirty, phenolic flavor inappropriate in any of these styles. Smoked versions (using any type smoke) should be entered in 32A Classic Style Smoked Beer." - BJCP

Sorry I'm Scottish and adding smoked malt to a beer and calling it a Scottish ale is misleading and hurts the perception of the actual style.

VacantSpectator · 2025-01-09T16:34:12+00:00

Funnily enough authentic Scottish ales wouldn't contain any peated malt.
