I do both, depending on what I'm making. But if you get floury goo, then you may be using too much flour, and indeed, would be frying a batter rather than browning meat <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I just use a dusting, and then stir the juices into whatever flour is left to make a thin paste that goes in later for thickening without leaving lumps of congealed flour. Still, it all tastes good in the end <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

I gave the lads an option of trying this recipe or a beef and guinness stew on Saturday. Guess what they chose <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I'll make this for me and the family some other time. I'm sure the 3-year-old will gobble it up when he's told there's chocolate and beer in it! Aventinus would be great too, and at the prices here, I'd feel less "guilty" than I did in Dublin for pouring a full bottle of beer into something <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

try a Rauchbier in it <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

Now there's an idea! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I tried Schlenkerla Rauchbier a couple of years ago, and it was interesting! I was poking about for some a couple of days ago and found a website that specialises in Bamberg Beers[/url:1w1t38xb], so will be ordering a mixed crate. Smoke City! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

the beer on that site is so cheap <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

do you know if they deliver to Ireland and how much it costs?

The beer is cheap everywhere here. It's terrible that I bought so much I have to have a couple of bottles every night <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

As they have it in English too, I'm guessing they'd deliver outside Germany too.

Actually. On the left side, down a bit, see [i:30ep57xy]Liefer- und Versandkosten[/i:30ep57xy]

[quote:30ep57xy]nach Italien, Österreich, Belgien, Dänemark (außer Faröer und Grönland), Frankreich (außer überseeische Gebiete und Departements), Großbritannien(inkl. Isle of Man;außer Kanalinseln), Luxemburg, Niederlande(außer außereurop. Gebiete), Spanien(auß. Kanar.
Ins., Ceuta + Melilla), Schweden und Polen:
1 Paket: 22,00 EUR
2-3 Pakete: 32,00 EUR[/quote:30ep57xy]THey don't list Ireland, but as they are all EU countries I imagine the cost would be the same.

Oh, and they have a page on home brewing[/url:30ep57xy]!

that works out just over €2 a bottle delivered to your door! bargain! Considering I paid about €3.50 for a bottle of Schlenkerla Rauchbier the other day in Sweeneys (although that place is expensive even for Irish shops)
