I recall reading this about fenugreek in Randy Mosher's Radical book.

Though fenugreek has a slightly unpleasant side effect. It does a similar thing to sweat as asparagus does to urine.

And that's unpleasant?  ;D

Who's on for trialing this with fenugreek so? Christmas shindig would be the earliest we could reasonably expect to have this for I suppose

I'm up for it. Already found it at Eurospar 0.79ct packet

Anchor website claims maple syrup used. Maybe it's just for a portion of carbonation

Dogfish Head have a few beers with maple syrup in them as well. I think they "finish" it with maple syrup so it might be pasteurised beforehand so the syrup isn't fermented out.

Well there's at least 3 of us interested in giving this ago. If we're going to do this for the xmas gig we'd need to get it on the go very soon. Is it realistic to aim for the xmas gig?

DamienE

Will we leave it till sometime in the new year

imark

Ok. How about Feb meet for tasting? That's 4 months notice.

Two fellas sitting on the gate taking the air outside the mental asylum in Enniscorthy, farmer trundles past with a horse and cart full of horse shit.
Where are you going with that?
I'm taking it home to put on my strawberries.
You want to come in here the other one says, we get cream on ours.


I had to read that twice as I just saw Meth seeds!
