Homebrew beer #1 : Morgan’s Stockmans Draught
Posted on | September 12, 2009 | No Comments
Morgan’s Stockmans Draught is the kit I used for my first ever homebrew beer. I added 1kg of brewing sugar, and used the lager yeast supplied with the kit.
I left the beer to ferment for 14 days - this was not intentional, ideally I would have bottled it earlier. When being bottled into plastic 750ml bottles, I added brewing sugar to prime, and the fizz of the beer is just right.
I tried the beer 14 days after being bottled, and it tasted great. Slightly thin in body, refreshing and nutty in taste, Stockman’s Draught is much more of a flavoursome lager than than most commerical lagers, almost 30% ale and 70% lager tasting.
I am now leaving the bottles to mature, after which I will jot down my full tasting notes.

This morning I was feeling a little worse for wear after a heavy night on the booze. I went to the local shop to buy the Sunday papers, and saw some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups which I just had to buy.
On returning home, a toast and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups marriage was made.

New design for proevonews.co.uk
Posted on | July 24, 2009 | 1 Comment
ProEvoNews.co.uk has gone through a feew design changes in the past couple of months…
First of all I made a blog style template that was simple to read, familer, and good for Adsense adverts. Then I thought I should make all thie articles on the site more accessable by using ‘Featured boxes’ around the homepage.
Taking inspiration from the awesome Woothemes Wordpress designs, I created a template that would push every article to the reader’s attention, without making them spasm. I launched the new design with glee, but then realised the more complicated the template, the more complicated the publishing. Unfortunantly I couldn’t spend as much time or follow up to improve this this design as I’d liked…. SO…
Last week I realised that that this design was a bit rubbish. I’ve recently recruited some new writers for the blog, so I thought I would good to revert back to simple, blog like site. So far I’ve had good feedback from the usual visitors, and to be honest, whatever happens, you can’t go wrong when being simple
Let me know what you think of the new design…
Looking for Love… in a Last FM firefox add-on
Posted on | July 24, 2009 | No Comments
So, I use Spotify a lot while browsing in Firefox. It’s great that Spotify can scrobbble listens to Last FM, an it’s great that Firefox can allow to control the browser by using Foxytunes. But….
I am looking for a Firefox add-on that allows me to control the ‘Love Track’ function from within the browser. Foxytunes would be amazing beyond belief it it added this feature, especially as all the other Last FM Firefox add-ons don’t offer this functionality.
So get in contact if you can help…
Meanwhile, check out a pretty massive track using Spotify:

Foxytunes now supports Spotify
Posted on | July 22, 2009 | No Comments
Mozilla Firefox’s Add-on ‘FoxyTunes‘ now supports the streaming music application ‘Spotify’.
Foxytunes allows you to add a customisable toolbar into Firefox which allows you to control your media player from within the browser. Foxytunes will also display the track currently being played, and show (optionally) show artwork and links to the artists website.
Foxytunes is a great add-on if you find yourself listening to music while browsing in Firefox since it saves you flicking between your media player and the browser.
Foxytunes has supported Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp etc for ages now, but it’s only this month started supporting Spotify.
Kentucky GRILLED Chicken comes to the US
Posted on | April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment
Man I love KFC chicken… I probably have it twice or so a year, and even then it feels like that’s too much for my arteries. So to my delight, KFC have thought about putting on some healthier options and have unveiled Kentucky Grilled Chicken in the US.
Check out the KGC here
As you will see from the website, the calorie, fat, and salt content is massively reduced to KFC’s fried chicken.
Really want this in the UK!
