STYLES AND HISTORY
Indian Pale Ale was developed in England during their colonization of India. The civilians and soldiers living there had no access to beer of their own, as tempertaures on the sub continent were constantly too warm for brewing. Attempts at shipping beer from England( usually the new 'Pale' ales that were becoming so popular) were foiled by the rocking of the waves and the high temperatures in the ships hulls, which spoiled the beer long before it reached its destination.

Back in London, a brewer named George Hodgson began brewing beer for export to India. The beer was brewed with a higher alcohol level, and higher hopping rates to preserve the beer on its journey. The beer was a success in India, and "IPA" as it came to be known, caught on in England as well and a new beer style was born!

Our India Pale Ale has a copper/golden colour with a slightly higher starting gravity and hop rates than our regular Pale Ale with medium aroma hops.

FOOD AND SOCIAL
The Brew House IPA is a perfect match for spicy foods and BBQ, as it has the fortitude to stand up to the 'big food' flavour, yet is still crisp and refreshing on the palate.

8月29日星期日，在南岸的酿酒商店 再次组织 周年特价 买三送一。有现场烧烤，免费的热狗和汉堡包，通常他们还提供免费的饮料。我家里还有两盒 wine kits，今年不去了！

如果你们有问题，问 J 大侠！

If u want to know % of alcohol, use your hydrometer to test the must(=juice) ASAP.  Normally it's done when grapes are pressed, to adjust sugar/alcohol level.  Reading on hydrometer is no longer accurate NOW.  

If u have any oak chips on hand, throw some in, if u like the taste.  Happy wine making!

瓶酒罐瓶了。罐瓶后，啤酒会接着发酵，产生的二氧化碳就形成气泡。所以还要在等[color="Red"]两周才可以喝。

这次一半罐啤酒瓶，一半罐330ml的perrier瓶，后者[color="red"]不用封盖了，省事。

啤酒妙用

世界盃圓滿結束了！家裡可有剩下的啤酒？不妨就拿出來用吧！

洗頭髮
用洗髮精洗髮後，可再以啤酒水溶液浸泡及漂洗一次；啤酒中的大麥和啤酒花會為頭髮帶來養分，令頭髮富有光澤。

美容
啤酒中的酒精能夠促進血液循環、滋潤肌膚、加速新陳代謝。

啤酒中的蛇麻子是清涼劑，不僅可預防面皰、膿皰，對收縮毛孔也有很好的功效。不妨把毛巾用啤酒浸濕，敷在臉上半小時來個啤酒小美容。

清潔冰箱
將沾了啤酒的毛巾擰乾後，拭擦冰箱內的表層，這不但令冰箱光亮無比、乾淨清爽，還可以起到消毒殺菌的作用，因為啤酒中的有機酸是最佳的去污殺菌劑。

擦玻璃
啤酒是膠體溶液，用蘸了啤酒的抹布擦玻璃，不僅使之晶瑩剔透，且不會留下抹布的纖維。

洗真絲織物
真絲織物經過頻洗或清洗不當，顏色會變舊。用啤酒水溶液浸泡已清洗乾淨的真絲衣物二十分鐘，撈出漂洗後晾乾，衣物就會恢復本來鮮豔的面目。

拭擦植物葉子∕澆花
用軟布蘸上啤酒擦拭植物葉子，可使之油亮添光彩，皆因啤酒裡的營養成分溶解在葉片表面所致。啤酒還是極好的肥料，內含的酵素會使花卉長得茂盛，花朵更艷麗。

鮮花保鮮
啤酒含有乙醇、糖及其他營養成分，在插鮮花的容器內加點啤酒，能延長鮮花的保鮮期。

烹調食物
用一點啤酒醃肉，可使肉質變得軟嫩。炒肉時，用啤酒將麵粉調稀後淋在肉上，肉嫩可口，烹調牛肉，效果更好。將雞放在鹽、胡椒和啤酒中浸一兩個小時，自能去掉雞的羶味。在烤製麵包的麵團中揉進適量的啤酒，既易烤製，又有近乎肉的香味。做肥肉或脂肪多的魚時，也可加一杯啤酒去除油膩。

啤酒瓶 真的很漂亮！

啤酒瓶颈部 需要留 1 - :confused: 2英寸:confused: 空间(=air=oxygen) for 第二发酵。The bottle in the picture will not have much 泡沫。   
-  . . . . .  God, it may . . . . no, [color="Red"]it WILL explode   . . .  . .   U need to rebottle. :frown: or
- have a beer party and finish them (insufficient space) all within few days . . . . :p, or
-  :confused:  :confused:  :confused:
For now, lock them all up inside a close space, in case of "explosion", at least it won't be beer-all- over- the-place.

How old is your ice wine? Have u change the corks yet?  "Regular" corks only last 1.5-2 years.  Old corks - bad smells . . . . .
