    Ammonia caramel - Colouring and Flavoring

    Rhoiso-alpha acids - Additive used to create a stable head on the beeer and leave those nice rings on the glass as you drink it.

    Sulphur dioxide - Antibiotic and anti-oxidant used to prolong the shelf life of the beer.

    Protease - Also used to breakdown proteins produced in the brewing process and improve the filtration process.

    Amyloglucosidase - Used to speed up the breakdown of starch into sugar to speed up the fermentation process.

    Propylene glycol alginate - an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener used as a foam stabiliser in brewing.

    Silicon - Used as an anti foaming agent during the brewing process.

        Do you think I could get the boiler modified to run on bank notes? Specifically GBP bank notes? I think it would be cheaper if it ran on burning paper currency.
        I think you'll need a new type perhaps hurst solid fuel boiler not sure what initial cost would be but think of the long term savings!

            It's easy, takes no more than a couple of hours per brew, less once you get the hang of it and tastes far better than anything you'll get out of a bottle of can.

            It's also a hell of a lot cheaper.

              Well, I quite like the brew dog IPA - much more complex than anything I've tried, and I get a 20% discount as a shareholder

              I'm definitely interested in making turbo cider though - have you had a go at that?

                Cider is as easy as beer, the trick is to let it mature for longer. You can drink it young, but it tends to be thin and very sour. Leaving it for 3 months+ and you'll get a really good flavourfull brew.

                  Somehow I've managed to get a cheaper water bill since moving to a bigger home. And suprisingly my bills (supposedly metered water) have been cheaper over the last year while I have been working close to home than when I used to spend Mon-Fri working away. TOld the water co but they're sure everything is correct....but I've never found this water metre I'm supposed to have. I think they've got it wrong but I'm not complaining.

                  Used to pay about £170 a year in 2003 for a one bed flat.
                  Today I pay £100 a year, supposedly of metered water which I don't think I have . Iuse much more water today also (car washing, garden etc)
