FW: Chips met biersmaak/beer-flavoured crisps

by SPARROW, JEFFREY C. [IT/1825]

Unlikely to catch on in America but who knows? Maybe they'd go good with a Michelob Ultra? ~jcs McCoy's chips in with men's novelty crisp Financial Times; July 03, 2002 (National News) By Richard Tomkins, Consumer Industries Editor A crisp company is to launch its version of "bloke heaven" in a bag next month: lager-flavoured crisps. McCoy's says the launch will coincide with the start of the new football season and will let fans enjoy the taste of lager without suffering any of the side effects. Crisps have come in many unusual flavours, some more outlandish than others - a hedgehog flavour became popular in the 1980s. Varieties that have had more enduring appeal include sausage and tomato, Worcester sauce and pickled onion. McCoy's said its crinkle-cut crisps, sold mainly in pubs, were more of a man's brand than other makes. "They seem to go with a pint of lager, so making a lager-flavoured version seemed a natural progression." The crisps contain only trace elements of alcohol, but McCoy's says they are made with real brewing yeast and hops. (Unlike lager? - ed.) Financial Times staff who taste-tested the crisps yesterday gave them an emphatic thumbs down. "Revolting," "really horrible" and "like lager that's been in the sun for three hours" were among the more sober comments. "Obviously they're not going to have the same fresh taste as real lager," the company acknowledged. "But they do grow on you." (Or in you, as Tim Webb once memorably said.)

Re: Wit Yeast

by Jason Nelson

I can't comment on flavor, other than that I've had great results with both White Labs and WYeast versions. One thing I can say about the White Labs Wit yeast is that it seems to be a bit sensitive to temperature. In my first batch in my new residence a month ago, I got a stuck fermentation using this yeast. I used a large, healthy starter, almost pure oxygen, got a short lag (<12 hrs.), but she still pooped out at about 1.03x. The temperature of the wort/beer when I measured was about 64F. I brought the fermenters upstairs and they started right up again. I have since noticed that the optimum temp. range is 67-74F for White Labs WLP400 and 62-75F for WYeast 3944. If you have a cool basement like mine, WYeast may be a better choice.

I would also like to stay away from slant cultures if possible. How do the White Labs wit strains compare with Wyeast? Cheers WH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Who Needs Carboys?

by Andrew Ruggles

While going through the stuff I moved into my "new" apartment in July of last year, I found a few glass carboys that I'm not using. I think there are a couple 5 Gal carboys and one 6.5 Gal carboy. These are good fermenters or for use as secondaries. $5 each. I'm not around much, so if you want them, this is the week to get them.

Tuesday Night

by David H Berg

As you are all probably aware, July is American Beer Month, a celebration of brewing in the United States. On Tuesday Night, I'll be tapping our next brewer's special- Sunny's Honey Wheat. As an added bonus, we're going to have a "meet the brewer and beekeeper". That's right, I said beekeeper. My good friend Mark (from whom I get the honey) will be in town (assuming his plane gets back safely from Italy). So, if you have questions about beer or bees, stop in and see us!
