TOPIC:

Didn't know this was on until I got a text from my sis saying that there was a programme on the telly about homebrewing on RTE2. Turned it on RTE2 and there was a programme about a Nuclear Meltdown somewhere in Russia. Got me thinking what exactly do they think I'm brewing at home?!?!

Luckily enough I switched it to RTE1, although I missed most of the show.
Watched it from the bit where they were talking about pricing. Thought €3.50 for a bottle of beer was crazy. €3.00 would be pushing it imo.

Great idea about the swingtops though. 0.10c per bottle?!?? Where?

Good look with the venture, hopefully it works out for ya.

The problem i have with the organic movement is that they basically lie!! They think the end justifies the means and they have 'disciples'that believe people need to be converted. They hugely oversell the benefits of organic, adding spurious claims about nutrition, try to scare the public into organic with various unfounded horror stories about conventional and GM farming.
I suppose im against any movement which practices such disinformation I prefer to make desisions which are informed rather than via some emotional blackmail.
The organic movement should knock off the crap admit that they are a lobby group with a vested interest just like any other and that one of their main driving forces is cold hard cash just like everyone else.
If they want to sell organic then thats all fine and well but they should qualify it as 'may' have less of an environmental impact, end off.

Oh BTW good luck on the business venture rupert.

does the 'brewer of beer for sale' licience mean anyone could sell prodeuct at a market / car boot sale so or is there qualification ?
