Well Prof, it is time for an update on your brews....

The Prof was hoping to fine a good recipe on a wee-heavy. Any of you folks who can point him in the right direction???

The Prof is finding less time to brew beers lately. Fortunately, there are plenty of specialty micro-brews commercially available.

I came across a great word for you experts which, according to the dictionary I used, is the last word in classifying your professorship and it is zymurgy.

The Prof didn't realize he epitomized the last word in the dictionary...

Hi Prof,
It's many years since I used to make beer, but a very good book I used to use was "Brewing Better Beers" by Ken Shales. This was an amateur winemaker publication. Of course, it covered mostly British bitters and ales, but also had some good recipes for stout and lager. I just looked up on amazon and it is still available at virtually give-a- way prices. (it's quite an old publication......just like me ) I hope this helps.

Did a Google on 'wee heavy recipe' and came up with "Brew Your Own" on www.byo.com and look under recipes.

Good luck with them Prof.

Interesting site. Thanks Brian! The Prof found a recipe for a "smoked" wee heavy brew on the site... which seem a bit scary. The Prof was aware of the German "rauchbier"... the German smoked beer... and he finds this style beer not particularly palatable. He must further investigate this site.

Anyone know of a uk distributor of schlitz lager,a pub in norwich once sold it and then it just disappeared
Any pointers would be appreciated.....

Hi Mark.
Americans call it beer or light beer.

With all the bitters, lagers, stouts, ales and god know what other drinks you have and this is what you miss?

Here is the link: http://www.pabst.com/ourbeer.htm#

contact them and I'm sure they will give you the distributor's name if any.
