There were talks of dropping a lager into it next.
Followed by a sour of some sort.

There was talk of a lager, but I wouldn't be that keen, as it's not going to be that different to what we just put in there. Lets discuss the options at the next meet.

I was flicking through Radical Brewing and noticed that some of the numbers did not stack up.
A quick search and I found this...
http://www.radicalbrewing.com/rberrat.html

The suggested malt bill was 4.5kg - should have been 7kg
In fact about 30 of the recipes (about quarter) in Radical Brewing have errors.

So why do so many people like this book so much?

johnrm

I never raved about it, but errors aside its pretty good.
You can have a loan of my copy at the next meet, then you can decide for yourself.

It's definitely one of my favorites. It focuses on the fun of homebrewing (and beer in general) without getting too bothered with the technical stuff.

LordEoin

All about the coke and hookers?

Sure I'll have a peek off it anyway john, cheers :)

Raising this from the dead.
The October Ale is going to rebrew.
