Wanderer is a friend of mine who lives not far from where I do. He and I frequently meet-up for coffee and yarns, mostly at his place because he is considerably laid-up having suffered a hugely nasty foot injury. Wanderer and I were yarning on the phone this morning about everything under the sun, and I told him about this place. He is fully aware that participants in this forum have no interest whatsoever in trying to entice or recruit anyone from any other forum from anywhere within the whole and entire universe! ;D He considers that he might simply enjoy adding this forum to others in which he participates. Warm welcome to you Wanderer. Cheers, Clem

That's right. You joined on an historic date Wanderer, because today is the first day that advertisements have appeared on the site (unless they turned up last night while I wasn't looking!!!). Have you had a colonoscopy Wanderer? ;D

Hi ya Chris, & Patch.
Clemmie told me all about this site last week, but, one of us stuffed up. So I got the link thingy yesterday.
Clem, when you have the colonoscopy, make sure he hasn't got both hands on your shoulders.

I had to go into town this arfternoon, & play silly games with the "Little Titter" Told her a thing or three. I told her that I was sick & tired of being jerked about by her & the insurance company. Also, that I would like to climax at the end, as a dry run from being jerked about, wasnt doing me any good. Needless to say, All I got was jerked about, nothing at the end. Waiting to see what the insurance company have to say now. "Little Titter" was supposed to ring me this afternoon, before she goes home, but still waiting for the call. How was you day Clemmie, What did you get up to? And everyone else too, how was your days?

Hi. I'm a reject from TSO looking for some conversation. I've opened up a thread called Ethics and Hypotheticals where hopefully we can let our hair (those of us who have some left) down and say whatever we like on various subjects related to the ethical structure of our lives. Bit deep? Hopefully not. Anyway, hope to hear from you. Cheers, AlanS

G'day Alan and welcome to the Board.
Ethics and Hypotheticals? Sounds a bit deep but should be good to reach in and have a go.
I'll have a look at it now.
Cheers Epictetus

Came across an interesting piece of information today. We are all aware that Europeans drank a lot of beer up until about 100 years ago. In fact beer was drunk in preference to water for all meals. What is only now becoming better understood is that the beer of those times was actually good for you, having large amounts of ‘pro-biotics’. A batch from the Sydney Cove, which ran aground in Tasmania 220 years ago is being analysed and has produced interesting results. Today’s beer contains no living organisms – they are killed off after manufacture. The old beers though were brewed in open vats (sometimes aboard ships at sea) using yeasts and microbes which have been lost to us. The scientists recovered a rare live strain of Brettanomyces yeast and used it to brew the world's oldest beer, described as having a distinctly light and fresh flavour. But that was just the beginning of their investigation into this unique window into what people in the past consumed, as the naturally fermented beer recovered was extremely complicated compared to modern sterile beers. "We have identified at least twenty strains of yeast that haven't yet been grown… and there are lots and lots of bacteria of different shapes," Mr Thurrowgood said. "We hope to start to test the idea that the microorganisms people were consuming at the time were potentially challenging the immune system in different ways and were all producing proteins that were different to what a modern diet does." "For beer to be healthy it has to be wild fermented with no sugar added, modern yeasts kill off the bacteria. When it is wild fermented the brewer doesn't kill anything." Scientists believe that the living beer will help with treating depression. Cheers, Alan S

Hey Wanderer, I really like your avatar! Do you remember where you got it? I've only just found you so don't know about Little Titter. Are you sharing a problem or is this a running joke? Seriously. Cheers, Alan S

I like beer but can now only drink it in very small quantities.

I like beer but can now only drink it in very small quantities. Ahh Beer Making, for 10 years I made wine and beer for competition. The answer is yes, no, yes!!! Basically fermenting is yeasts eating sugar producing alcohol, but there are different types of sugar that can be fermented. The easy way is to buy a beer pack and not add any recommended sugar, it will work fine with the sugar from the malt (probably fructose sugar but you can look it up) but it will only produce a lower % alc beer. The competition brewers "trick", to get rid of the distinctive home brew taste, is to bring the mix to the boil with half the recommended water then allow it to cool. When it cools it will have a phlegm looking muck in the bottom .Then decant it, leaving the muck behind, into your fermenter with the rest of the water. Throw in some dried hop flowers(you lose some hops in the boiling) and ferment as usual. First batches in a fermenter are usually good but poor disinfecting usually lets brewers down after that. The way around that is to store your fermenter wet ie with some sodium meta bisulphide solution in it. Do not forget to remove the rubber ring and clean it too and store it wet. A rinse out with chlorinated tap water is all that is needed before use.

There is really only one place in Australia doing it the old fashioned way, a small brewery in Tasmania called the Two Metre Tall Farmhouse. Owner Ashley Huntington describes his ales and naturally fermented sour beer as wild. He spent nine years trying to recreate these very much alive beers of old without much success, but science and palates are catching up with him. The products Huntington makes come from a variety of home grown grains like barley and he said they are much more complex than wine. "The fermentation in grapes comes from a simple sugar, while the fermentation that occurs in grain mixtures makes that look like a stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon with remarkably complex fermentations, fuelled by multiple species of yeast and bacteria." I don't know if this helps, but it's sad to think of someone who can't have a beer occasionally. Cheers, Alan S

I do love a beer, but am prone to not wanting to be inebriated these days, so wild living beer that is naturally low in alcohol sound tooooooooo goooood to be true. I'll have some taa very muchly.
