Honey Bock Results

10 April, 2008 – 8:13 pm

Since bottling the honey bock last month, I’ve tried a bottle last week and this week. While it is a very nice beer, the honey flavour is not very noticeable. That said, the second bottle I tried had a slightly stronger honey flavour than the first so it might just need to mature [...]

Honey Bock

6 March, 2008 – 11:12 am

Yesterday I bottled the honey bock that has been brewing over the last week. This one was made with the following ingredients:

A Black Rock Bock beer kit.
1kg of honey
500g of Dextrose
Caster sugar for carbonation

The only difference from the standard procedure was replacing part of the brewing sugar with honey. Before being added, the [...]

Beer Pouring Machine

27 October, 2007 – 1:58 pm

One of the novelties in the airport lounge at Narita was a beer pouring machine. It manages to consistently pour a good glass of beer every time. You start by placing the glass in the machine:

When you press the start button, it tilts the glass and pours the beer down the side of [...]

Chilli Beer

11 December, 2006 – 7:03 pm

Got around to tasting the latest batch of home-brew beer recently: a chilli beer. It came out very nicely: very refreshing but with a chilli aftertaste in the back of your throat. You can definitely taste the chilli after drinking a pint .
I used a beer kit as a base, since [...]

Work
Last week, one of the servers died because one of the
sticks of memory died. After pulling it out, the system
booted fine. It would have been a lot easier to test if I
didn’t have to open it up to plug a floppy drive in. I now
have Memtest86 in
the GRUB
boot menu. Was pretty [...]

There is also an HTML version on the website, but it
doesn’t quite match the final version of the CFP (yet).
Beer
Bottled the honey ale today. It will be interesting to

but I could definitely taste the honey still. [...]

Started another batch of beer yesterday. This time I
mixed in a kilogram of honey (replacing some of the sugar),
so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. The
bubbles coming out of the airlock smell fairly different, so
it will hopefully go okay.
Merged some patches from various people into my jhbuild
build scripts over [...]
