Kein Problem! Didn't notice any, actually, engaged as I was in the action.

Really though, Barry, consider the supposedly true porter recipe from George Washington (sorry about that dust-up with your George III BTW!): boil hops, add molases, let "work", begin drinking when it falls to "blood temperature".

It's the spirit of experimentation. Why bother with trying a new curry -- just eat eggs and toast for the rest of your life. What if the monks had never tried candy sugar in Belgian triple? We'd be stuck with the miserable, heavy, sweet though Reinheitsgebot-conforming German examples you can find here and there these days.

Kriek without cherries? Gose without salt & coriander?

Prost!
