First go with it? I have a friend here who does his own brewing and at first it was as you said, a bit flat but cool to know it was fresh. Now he is on top of it. His Oktoberfest beers, scrumtious.
Yeah first go, the kit cost us about £40 between 3 of us so after this batch we can get 12 pints each for £5 each. Good investment if you ask me What did he change to make it better?
His technique and timing of everything. How long to ferment, ingredients, etc. He is a bit of a backwoods cat as well. Loves his moonshine. Now that **** is ****ing toxic, **** it could run an automobile.
I'd like to be able to perfect a batch, but we're living in flats now and it's not a great place to brew alcohol since its in our contract that we're not allowed to
oops! You could always grow some hydroponic in a closet...... just saying. He mentioned that the ingredients that came with were good but everyone has a different taste and different weight in their beer so to say, so he had to tweak to make the batches more to his taste ( stronger, lighter, darker, etc).
Just like in anything you cook you know, might need more salt, pepper, less meat, more carbs, etc. Starting to struggle now, long day on the fields, got soaked all day, beers are in, and footy is almost done. ****!
Haven't played that in awhile. Note: I think we have covered about 5 different threads in this one thread and needless to say. There are threads for ALL of this.
Red Dead Redemption. Finished it this weekend, it's a good game but I learned quite quickly that there is also a lot wrong with it. It's a massive world but there is not enough to do in it so it's kind of pointless exploring. Skyrim is a good game to compare, that also has a huge map but some of the side quests are better than the main story and this is where Red Dead falls down. I would recommend playing it but just go straight to the main story quests and ignore pretty much everything else you will need to do a bit of hunting early on or bounty quests but once you have some money just get on with it. Max Payne 3 ready to go will probably start tonight.
Haven't played xbox in about a month. Need a new game as I'm completely bored of it. New Tomb Raider is supposed to be good.
I could never play tomb raider after playing tomb raider 1, so many hours or running and jumping and so many squares
If you were never lined up 90° to the many perfectly square edges in the caves, you never made the jump. Quality game though, and Tomb Raider II. I doubt the new one has the same problems though.
Upcoming Games Gears of War: Judgment 22nd March, gearsofwar.xbox.com This prequel, set about 15 years before the events of Gears of War, centres around the arrival of the Locust and the bloody conflict that follows. Probably the biggest Xbox 360 exclusive of 2013, it looks likely to offer broadly similar gameplay to the three Gears of War games we’ve already seen, albeit with an overhauled multiplayer mode that, for the first time, brings class-based combat to the franchise. BioShock Infinite 26th March, bioshockinfinite.com Coming to the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360, BioShock Infinite is one of the most highly-anticipated titles of early 2013. Trading the mid-century undersea city of Rapture for 1912 Columbia, a city in the sky, the game is set to be the Mad Men of first-person shooters (where Call of Duty is Sons of Anarchy or something): intelligent and thought-provoking but also consistently fun. Ascend: New Gods TBA, ascendgame.com Another XBLA game, Ascend will be totally free to play for anyone with an Xbox Live Gold account – and by that we mean the whole single- and multiplayer portions of the game. It’s a third-person action RPG in which you play a Caos: essentially a giant who wanders around a mythical landscape hitting things in an effort to “ascend” to god-hood. Ascend will also be linked to a mobile game, so you can build up your character when you’re on the train – or the toilet, if that’s your bag . Deadfall Adventures TBA, thefarm51.com We don’t know too much about this first-person shooter, other than it’s set in the 1930s and concerns a San Francisco private detective contending with Nazis and many other dangers as trots the globe in search of ancient artefacts. So: Indiana Jones crossed with Uncharted and all using the Unreal Engine 3. Colour us excited. State of Decay TBA, undeadlabs.com/stateofdecay A downloadable XBLA (and Windows) game that’s got us extremely excited, State of Decay is an open world (think Grand Theft Auto-style) game in which you control a group of survivors struggling to stay alive through a zombie apocalypse. You’ll need to hunt down or trade for supplies, create and maintain bases and recruit specialist survivors to your group, all the while trying to avoid the hungry, shambling hordes that roam the landscape. The world, and story, develop depending on the choices you make.
Bioshock should be good if the first 2 are to go by. Unsure about Gears as the last one sucked. There are also rumours of Fallout 4 being released this year.
