You think this will be enough to stop you brewing?

It's gonna be a syrup of some sort with some hop and malt flavourings.....not my bag, although it could be a good addition if you had brewed a bad beer and thought it was thin and lacking.

Probably, but none the less the question needed to be asked.

It appears from the review that it's like putting something that tastes err like something into crap beer to make it taste like something, unfortunately that something is not good beer.

Confession, just thought the whole idea funny .... but is this what the Guinness plant in waterford where producing for export.

I do like the idea of infusing hops or ingredients into plain beers  to get ideas on creating recipes . I watched Sam Calagione (Dogfish head brewery )  do this on recipe formulation .

I'm pretty sure there are other forums that actively encourage this sort of product.
'Brewers wives' or 'Knitting anonymous' - Dempsey told me about them... ::)
