mollag Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 4 hours ago, John Wright said: Flavourings are OK. And the government can issue a derogation. But here they seem to be looking at using the bread as the carbohydrate base, rather than grain. The concentrate for oyster stout is added after brewing ( I think ) as was the caramel that coloured Castletown mild. By that stage it’s been brewed. The "caramel" is also known as gravy browning, I am wondering just what stale bread would bring to a brew ?, not sugar or hops, no malted grain at all, just maybe,a poor source of yeast, which to be honest isn't expensive . IMHO it sounds like a gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citing health issues and rising costs There are so many bad jokes possible in that statement.... I will leave it up to your own imaginations.... 🙂 Never been there but I am sure it will have been on a par with other Chinese takeaways on the island, as in, not as good as the ones you find in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
