Welcome back to the fold, Geoff! For those who don't know Geoff by reputation, he is very involved with the Durden Park Beer Circle (http://www.durdenparkbeer.org.uk/ Information.html and see Michael Jackson's article from 1992 at http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-000070.html). The DPBC is best known among aficionados of historic British beers for their little book "Old British Beers and How to Make Them," now in its third and biggest edition. I have posted a note about it a time or two here. Geoff is point-man, as I understand it, for the distribution of this third edition. I don't know if it is available in the US (Geoff told me he was working on it, so maybe he'll chime in here), but an excellent beer book seller in UK, Beer Inn Print, carries it http:// beerinnprint.co.uk/description.php?prodid=1025. I think this book is a must-have for anyone interested in reproducing historic British beer, either for historic interest or just because there are some really good recipes in it, historic or not. It also just makes fun reading. Jeff - --- Jeff Renner in Ann Arbor, Michigan USA, jsrennerATumichDOTedu "One never knows, do one?"

Address: 4811 CARPENTER RD YPSILANTI, MI 48197-9609 Tel: 734-572-0444 It's on Carpenter between Ellsworth and Michigan Ave (also right off 94). They will refill your tank same day if you drop it off before a certain time. I went through the same thing, I paid premium money for a nice pretty tank, but after the second refill, it wasn't worth the wait and I just exchange them now, no one really sees it anyway. I just refilled my 10# and I want to say it was $10 - $15. I'm not sure if that's a good price or not, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 17:47:54 -0800 From: Jack Corbett <jwcorbett at wavecable.com> Subject: Correct amount of hops for full-boil extract recipes... I've been following extract recipes, but I usually do a full-boil. Many times my results seem to be "too hoppy." Is there a rule-of-thumb to follow in scaling-down hop amounts for full-boil extract recipes? Return to table of contents
