If you mean home brewing then hope you have better luck than I do with getting a decent drop at the end.

Yup, I'm on a project at the moment and donated some beer to a party for the project and was told if it goes no where we're opening a brewery :cool:

Please to hear that, and I would imagine the medical insurance industry would be very happy if it was dropped.

Less people making claimes to push the premiums and profits up, likely the other way around I'm afraid in a for profit, not for health system :(
 
Strangely back in the University days my entire flat, apartment, decided it would be cheaper to brew some beer rather buying it. We found a recipe for something called "Foul Black Ale", brought a rubbish bin, the grits, and proceeded to throw it together. The resulting brew certainly lived up to it's name. At one of our parties some desperados managed to drink the lot. Thankfully they didn't sue us.

Food I'm not bad at, though beer I'm great at :) This is what is left of the latest Belgium Witbier

Wow, that's pretty impressive!

I knew a lovely old guy who made the best home brewed beer, it was amazing stuff, but so potent LOL

Sadly he has gone to Beer Maker heaven now, but the legend of his beer lives on :)

Next time you open one, can we see a pic?
 
OH.. and last night I made a big pot of Chilli, forgot to get a pic, but there's lots left over so will one day soon!

Was pretty mmmmmm :)
 
Another fish dish while Mike is still away...

Cod goujons.webp


Cod goujons made with panko breadcrumbs (really light and crispy), chunky chips and a big dollop of store-bought mayonnaise with some home-made touches (garlic, parsley, capers and lemon juice chucked in). Oh, and the green things are just gherkins cos I felt like it :p

I might do these again when Mike comes back and just substitute cod with chicken for him ;)

Just one I'm reminiscing about...

Honey and five-spice glazed duck breast with crispy roast potatoes (done in the duck fat - don't waste it!) and buttered asparagus and broccolini... yum...

Think this can be Mike's Welcome Home Meal :D

This is the recipe I use: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/516583

It's really quite simple once you have all the ingredients. At step 6, instead of pouring away the duck fat, I remove the duck breasts from the pan, throw in some par-boiled and par-roasted potatoes and toss them in the fat, then roast the potatoes for the remaining time it takes to do the glaze and rest the duck.
