My german forebears chased your pale asses into the ocean several times in the past, and stand ready to do so once again, if given the chance.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Earth matters
Oh, and "sylte" with "lefse" on the morning on the 25th.
Sylte (translated to head cheese on wikipedia) is pork meat, traditionally from the head, pressed together with spices and some aspic. Nice, spicy taste to it. Usually served on bread or rolled in "lefse" (soft flatbread, kind of Norwegian potato tortilla) with mustard.
We make it from scratch at my parents', boiling the pig heads and all, in the traditional way.
Man was I mad the first time dad used my beerbrewing kettle to boil pigs heads.
That was a pretty metal sentence.

Re: Earth matters
Doesn't sound very difficult.. Just heat up a frying pan and sear the fatty part, no?
We do have this in the meat markets - called Souse or simply 'Head Cheese' here. Definitely not a popular item, though.Sylte (translated to head cheese on wikipedia) is pork meat, traditionally from the head, pressed together with spices and some aspic. Nice, spicy taste to it.

Your tasteless lager could do with some added flavour anyway.

Fat is actually pretty bad to beer, kills the foam.Montegriffo wrote:It sure was.Could only be improved with someone biting the head off a bat.pettertb wrote:

Homebrewing lager is hard, you need temperature control in the fermenting room. I should try doing it one winter, by turning down the thermostat in our garage-room.
Besides, I really like hops, so there was enough flavor, all right ;P

Re: Earth matters
Foam is over rated and you only use the female hops, we use the male plant too, that's one of the main differences between ale and lager.

Lager is nice on a hot day but if you want flavour you drink a nice warm flat beer in front of a roaring fire.

Sweet! (or bitter, as the case may be)
I was at my GFs cabin a few summer to last. Basking in the sun reading and drinking the beer available. Turborg light.
And it fit the circumstance.
Tuborg light.
Still a bit freaked out

Norwegians started stirring up shit in Ireland, not Danes. Viking is not synonymous with Dane.
The Normans who invaded Ireland in 1169 were led by a Dane, but Norwegians had settled there hundreds of years before that.

That's why I said the Normans were Vikings and not Danes. To me Danes and Norwegians are both Vikings.
