They’ve bought the old hooded ram pub site too. I’ve been a few times since they opened in the new place and the food is far from terrible. Considerably better than most places. I can only speak as I I find. It was bloody awful when we went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And dont even ask about the terrible conditions in most local establishments. The Golf links was easily the worst with maggots crawling out of the freezers . Replaced a chest freezer in the Mayflower in Castle street ( yes years ago) and they were waiting for us to pull it out with cleaner and hot water to scrub behind. Ohhh and dont talk to me about the guest houses and the likes on the front. Grasmere comes to mind. Disgusting . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do this by either adding enzymes or adding Malt Surely the Malt is the sugar feeding the yeast then, as in normal brewing?. Maybe bread into beer comes from Gaol tales of secret brewing ?

Maybe bread into beer comes from Gaol tales of secret brewing ? The bread would just be another source of food for the yeast. Bread is just a carbohydrate like malt and sugar. I cant see the point myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except its a complex Carbohydrate( Starch) which the yeast can't use without the intervention of enzymes added, from direct addition or the addition of malt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either use other offices for their other business, and the retail banking be done from Strand Street. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the offices above existing retail unit are fully occupied by all the commercial teams/back office/admin etc so assume they will be staying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
