Kind of interesting. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad about the book and look forward to it! I'm too into chasing down the toddler now to be involved but maybe someday down the road I'd appreciate being involved. Thanks so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-1112039393894813572005-03-28T14:49:00.000-05:002005-03-28T14:49:00.000-05:00Good to encounter another brewer who makes extract...Good to encounter another brewer who makes extract beers and isn't ashamed. I like the extract plus a little grain for extra flavor approach myself but extract alone is just fine too. I have realised that my penchant for experimentation can get me in trouble though. My latest batch (just finished fermenting) I left the hops in completely the whole time - no attempt to filter/strain them out. At first I thought I had a bad batch, but now I realise that it just is staggeringly hoppy - that floral bitter thing is overriding the malt almost completely. I know I'll like it but I may be drinking this batch alone...<BR/><BR/>By the way - about a year ago I approached you about being part of a compilation of online food writing from blogs and you politely declined. The book is at the printers now and will be available toward the end of April. check it out at www.pressforchange.com (or www.tomatilla.com my blog). If it is at ALL successful I will be doing it again with material from Summer 2004 to Summer 2005 - first book is summer 2003 to summer 2004. I would like to invite you to participate again if it comes to pass.<BR/><BR/>Still jealous of your bread baking - I just CANNOT make a baguette like thatOwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657138602451739371noreply@blogger.com
