I never mention the cost of brewing at home when people discover my hobby. I only talk about the flavour and quality. You can't help coming across like a wino when you espouse the cheapness of the homebrew pint.

ben Dunne? Of Dunnes Stores? Not surprised he didn't like the idea of homebrew - sure he prefers coke[/url:4g6pjgkf].

I'm sure the offlicence owners loved her for that! Supervised! Ha! Would love to go to her place and get blotto, throw up all over the place, wreck the restaurant and then tell her I've never done that at home on homebrew, it's all her fault for not supervising me better <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Of course Ben Dunne is into the gym scene now, so no doubt calorie laden beer is an anathema to him

The air date we were given was the 16th of December.

You'd never get a decent batch of dutchie ready by christmas with that air date. Although new years maybe on the cards... <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Well done anyway Séan.

Rather than as unbalanced and the constrains of time to make your point across I believe TV deals with issues in a black and white way (with very little exceptions), no room for all shades of grey in this dumbed down society.

And then of course you have your "experts" trying to be the next Simon Cowell in order to up the ratings with any tough, no nonsense crap that comes to their minds. All in the name of entertainning TV.
