Other topics - beer-related or not.

Be careful of the shine my friend

I have found in the past that the 23rd beer in a sitting is always skunky for some reason. :lol: :lol:

I drink Scotch, Irish and Canadian Whiskey (Not bourbon, got drunk on it way too much underage that the smells makes me feel sick) Since my girlfriend has a cocktail bar, I've had a chance to drink many different liqueurs most of which are pretty nice.

Has anyone here tried Australian Whiskey? I think there is a place in Tasmania that makes some.

An urban myth..............

If you brew with a simple sugar/water mix for distillation later on, you won't get any methanol in your distillate. It's only when you start brewing with fruit, grain etc that methanol is produced. :wink:

In the event that your wash had a high methanol content, it's a pretty easy to remove; a year 9 science student could pull off a simple fractional distillation :lol:
I've tried that Rare Breed stuff...damn good drop!!![
I get 2 bottles a month for $45 a bottle from Perth duty free to drink at home in my month off. I get another 2 a month at Dubai duty free for US$28, then get another 2 from Abu Dhabi duty free for US$30............ 4 bottles for 4 weeks at work :oops:

I'll never touch Jim Beam again., but 'old Jack is still a nice drop :wink:

Who you working for Boozer if I can ask?

I have way to many friends in the industry, and I was 5 mins away from it myself.

I was almost a well head geologist laying horizontal wells and then my Missus got a job as a head nurse. I took a secondary job as an online QA for a food Manufacturer. Funny how life goes.

Most of the folks I know are working for Gulf or what was Gulf, guess it is Coneco now.
