Cheers BB. What all but disappeared with the Reinheitsgebot in Germany, and in several other countries, and is only now being rediscovered ?
The rediscovered beer is called Gruitbier and removes one of the four ingredients from the Reinheitsgebot.
Is it yeast? Yeast used not to be one of the ingredients because wild yeast was unknowingly involved in beer production. It was only added when commercial yeast was developed. The Belgians have been using wild yeast for years, though. You can't remove water. Hops have been around for a few hundred years but the Reinheitsgebot was enacted to stop the use of other bittering agents. You can't remove barley?
I can give you that NZ. The Reinheitsgebot stipulated that only hops, water, barley and yeast could be used in beer - the emphasis here was on the hops. Prior to this other herbs had been used instead of hops. Gruitbier is literally unhopped beer - where Gruit is the word for the collection of herbs used prior to the introduction of hops in the 14th Century. The typical ingredients of 'Gruit' were Yarrow, Myrica gale, Mugwort,Rosemary or Ground Ivy - though sometimes more intoxicating herbs were used, and it was these that the medieval authorities had problems with - sort of like a medieval war against drugs. There is a rediscovery of Gruit beers going on at the moment and all the various herbs they used. Over to you.
Thanks Cologne. I have been known to make beer using rosemary and bay leaves. Who was the last Watford player to play in a first class cricket match?
Steve Palmer played for Cambridge Uni against Lancashire - I'm not sure if that qualifies as a first class cricket match though...
Yes. That's it BB. Games Oxford and Cambridge Universities play against first class counties are classed as a first class matches. I'm guessing that no-one has done that since Steve Palmer,
Hmm - you've got me there. I'm not sure, but I thought there were others of that genre before it. But Psycho was definitely the first to do what I'm thinking of - something of an everyday action.
Have just done some research and it seems you're right - so, bad question - I'll give it to you (the answer I was looking for is that it was the first film to have a toilet flushing scene) Over to you.
Three if you count the plural. I only knew that because I used to be one many moons ago. What was unique about William the Conqueror's coronation?
