Hello from London (but I grew up in a Nirish household and have a passport to prove it, so I have a counter corp culture mindset and resided for a while opp Stag Brewery in Mortlake (I wont mention that WRB name or Id have to was my mouth out with laundry soap.  My interest is in traditional brewing methods over the centuries when they didnt have maggoty bean counters pursuing the last pennies profit by meddling with a noble craft and resulting in dish water KWIM ^-^

I also decry the fashion as it was when decades ago Home Brewing became a hobby for folkies and students (they had so much carefree licence in those days). Inevitably it became a money grabbing band wagon for a while along with urban myth info and unsupported chatter.

So I hope Im in a good home to explore some of the forgotten brewing methods.

 ??? FWIW I just discovered that  Budweisser well known for (fill in your own invectives) makes substantial use of white rice adjunct - they kept that a well guarded secret - I wonder why?  :o
