NOTES:
* Double stout beer -- I would not recommend making this as your
first beer, but if you are into brewing and like a strong stout, then
give this one a try. Don't be in a hurry to drink it, though, it
really benefits from a long aging. I got the original recipe from
Peter Lester in rec.food.drink, and formatted it for my local
brewfriends. Then I thought that the net at large might enjoy it,
too, so here it is with some additional notes from my experience at
making it. Yield: Makes about 2 cases.
* Lester's initial specific gravity was 1.086 and his final specific
gravity was 1.020 (alcohol about 8 percent). His fermentation time
was 11 days (a slow batch).
My batch fermented in about a week (house temperature ranging between
60 and 68). It was barely drinkable after 6 weeks, but delicious
after 3 months. As far as I can tell, it's still getting better (a
year later), so try not to drink it all up right away.
* Ingredient note: I didn't know what a licorice stick was, until I
asked the clerk at my brewstore. The one he gave me was about 1/3
inch in diameter and about 3 inches long. It was dark black, and not
sweet to the taste at all. It seems to be a standard brewing
ingredient. Sorry I can't be more specific about it.
: Difficulty: For experienced beer brewers only.
: Time: 1 hour preparation, 2 weeks fermenting, 6 months aging.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
The problems associated with low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Eliminating carbohydrates may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, specifically those provied by fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys can come under too much strain and that the related change in blood acid levels causes bone damage, but some of the medical studies testing the theory have found no evidence of damage to the kidneys or loss of bone.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, soy and tea)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Medical experts studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they may also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-platelet properties.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
