Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The unfortunate thing is that there is no substitute for Guinness, no other stout even comes close (IMO) Sierra Nevada has a decent stout though that is pretty good....no idea what they use in their processing though... , thelilacflower wrote: > > Yes they do so grab another type and have a Happy St pat's > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > > > " Mike " <realshows > > Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:14:52 > > another st Patty's without Guness > > > Guinnes just responded to my email.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am looking on tastebetter.com and finding lots of yummy beers that are vegan. They also have a wine and a liquor link.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am glad my husband brews all our beer right here in the kitchen. I know exactly what goes in it. He makes wine, too, but I don't like it all that well. Katie nancihank <nancihank wrote: Fish products in beer!!?? I don't care for beer anyway but that really sounds yuck! Nancy C.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, we don't drink that either much so that is ok.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I say do what it right for you. If you read a book it is more than likely bound with a glue made from hooves. It is very hard to understand. I use white sugar but try to use raw most of the time and I will buy used leather from a thrift shop. I have no idea how they would make the beer and yet there is no fish prouct in the beer. You are right your eggs might contain fish product.

I'm trying to decide if I can convince myself that this means it's vegetarian, but not vegan... but I doubt it will work. It's better than gelatin... I eat omega 3 eggs which probably have fish oil in them somewhere along the line... thoughts anyone? Hello, Thank you for your e-mail. ISINGLASS All Guinness brands are free from animal matter and from contact with animal matter. However, isinglass, which is a by-product of the fishing industry, is used as a fining agent for settling out suspended matter in the vat. The isinglass is retained in the floor of the vat but it is possible that minute quantities might be carried over into the beer. ALTERNATIVES Production processes in the UK are subject to strict UK/EU legislation and at present isinglass is the only fining agent suitable for stout, which has been approved in the UK. Any new fining agent, especially synthetic substitutes, would not be approved for use without rigorous testing both in Europe and by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. As yet there are no suitable alternatives available. FURTHER INFORMATION You may wish to contact the Brewers and Licensed Retailers Association (former Brewers Society) for further information.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 HEY Katie!!! how did your hubby get into the beer brewing thing? My hubby has been wanting to make that leap for a while now. Does your hubby use a kit? did he create his kit or get a prepackaged kit? ANy tips would be greatly appreciated! We have a couple of books and are in the 'thinking about it ' stage... though really wanting to figure out the cheapest way to dive in and start our home brewing! =) thanks for any info.. feel free to write me off list if you would like!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I agree Donna... and how many of us eat cheese with Rennet in it? But at the same time it's a moral issue of knowing it;s there and they could easily use a synthetic product but choose not to. But Guinnes is so good and I haven;t had one in two years...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm not Katie, but I brew a little beer from time to time. I started with mead, but wanted something quicker to drink while I was waiting for the mead to age. :-) There are a couple of brew shops within easy striking distance of my house. I had the truly necessary equipment (something to boil water in, a container to ferment in, an airlock to let the gasses escape without letting other stuff in, a way to siphon from point A to point B) from the earlier mead experimentation. All I needed was ingredients and I seem to remember starting with hopped syrup and yeast, so minimal knowledge required. I've since played around with specialty grains a bit, but they really aren't necessary for a first brew. :-) Kegging is supposed to be easier than bottling for the finished product, but it seems more equipment-intensive to me, so I've stuck to bottles and crown caps. (Did you know that's what beer bottle caps are called? Because their crimped edges look like crowns? The things you learn when you're trying to do something completely different.) There are any number of stout recipes in books and on the web. With the reminder about the Guinness (sniff sniff), I'm starting to have thoughts about dusting off the equipment and putting up a batch of homebrew for next year's St. Pats. -ginger near Boston with a clear Irish portion to my mutt-like ancestry , " Jenni Billings " < wrote: > > HEY Katie!!! > how did your hubby get into the beer brewing thing?
