The Real Jelly Babies
Name: Bassett's Jelly Babies
I reviewed a knock-off version of Jelly Babies a few months ago, because that's all I was able to find here in the States and I was lead to believe that Bassett's are illegal for import because they contain non-FDA approved food dyes. Of course when I saw them at Sainsbury's a few weeks ago, no carcinogens were gonna keep me from trying the real thing!
What these Jelly Babies offer that the others don't is personality. Each of the little babies has a name and a different persona. The pink (according to the package) is Baby Bonny who is sitting with a diaper on. Black is Bigheart, who has a little heart shape on his chest. The orange is called Bumper and has some sort of innertube or fanny pack around his middle to keep him from hurting himself. I think I'd like to see a helmet too. Brilliant is the raspberry one with a big B on his middle. Bubbles is yellow and has a little bead necklace on. Boofuls is the light green lime one who is crying.
(You can see a full detail about them and what they supposedly look like here.)
While the Bassett's is not as grainy as the Norfolk Manner I tried before and the Bassett's do have a bit more flavor, I still find them a little perfumey, a little bland. The best one to me, suprisingly enough, was the raspberry one (I'm not overly fond of fake raspberry candy). I don't think I could eat very many of them in a sitting, which is what makes sweets "candy" in my book. It has to be positively difficult for me to NOT keep shoveling them into my mouth if they're sitting around. For pure addictive jelly-type candy I will always prefer Swedish Fish, Gummi Bears, spearmint leaves/orange slices, gumdrops or plain old Jelly Beans.

Divine Chocolate: Fair Trade
Name: Divine Chocolate
These little 45 gram bars are a wonderful example of how a niche product can break out big in the wide candy world. Made in the UK from fair trade cocoa beans, these bars come not only in the familiar milk and dark varieties, but also an orange flavored bar and they've also introduced a smaller bar for kids called Dubble.
The dark chocolate bar is smoky and rich and has a good, complex flavor to it. Very woodsy with a slight dry finish. The chocolate is smooth but a little waxy at first as it warms up on the tongue, but there's no hint of grain at all. At 70% cocoa solids, this is a very chocolatey bar but doesn't have that crumbly feel that some have. The snap was good and personally, I prefer a chunky bar to a flat one.
The milk chocolate bar is very European, with a strong dried milk component to it. It's very sweet but has a good chocolate taste and is smooth and rich on the tongue. AT 27% cocoa solids, this is a very milky bar (using both dried milk and dried cream).
Again, you're probably asking, why pay a bit more for the same quality? Well, in this case more money is going directly to the farmers who produce the cocoa beans. Farmers (by this I mean the folks who actually tend the plants, harvest the beans and prepare them for shipping) not only get a decent wage, they are guaranteed income through long-term contracts and the company supports education for children in the area. Economic stability provides political stability which in turn helps to turn the African economy to a more sustainable one not based on government aid where communities build themselves through their agriculture and small industry.
One note about how Divine and Equal Exchange differ - Divine is NOT organic. If you're looking for a bottom-to-top socially responsible chocolate, go with Equal Exchange because its cocoa farming is organic and is working with cooperatives in multiple locations as well as using organic, unprocessed sugar. If you're looking for a move in the right direction (or don't have access to EE), then go Divine and support the widest possible marketing efforts (hey, buy some from both and help farmers in Peru, Dominican Republic and Ghana!).

Barley Sugar Candy
Name: Barley Sugar
Some folks look down their noses at hard candy. Like it's not candy or it's a last resort. What's great about hard candy is that it's incredibly portable and comes in huge varieties and is generally pretty cheap. And for the most part it's pure sugar. While I don't buy a lot of hard candy, I do enjoy it for particular tasks, like high-velocity noveling, whale watching excursions and long car trips.
When I was a kid we used to get barley sugar pops. They were lollipops shaped like old fashioned toys like trains, teddy bears, little dollhouses and animals. The flavors were delicate, not like a Charms sweet & sour pop, but more like a dreamy honey flavor with a touch of lemon or orange. Some have no flavor at all, like the Valentine's hearts pops. For some reason most barley sugar candy seems to come in lollies. I have no idea why.
Barley Sugar is kind of like molasses, it's a rather raw syrup made from germinated grains (usually barley) and is often used along with cane sugar and corn syrup to both add flavor and color to boiled candies.
These little sweets look a little like Clementine orange slices, a rich amber orange hard candy. The flavor is sweet with a nice touch of orange essence and no hint of sour. The candies are very solid and smooth with no voids or bubbles in them. The dissolve evenly and have a nice crunch if you're one of those (I am, I can't just let a candy dissolve in my mouth, I will chew it up).
They're a little ordinary, but sometimes I like that ... sometimes I don't want screaming green apple or supersour lemon drops. Sometimes I want a cup of Earl Grey tea and a few demure sweets. They're not attention grabbers, but they're a wonderful background music for my other pursuits.
Rating - 8 out of 10 (a little pricey for sugar)

Terry's Chocolate Orange
Name: Terry's Chocolate Orange
When I was a kid, Santa used to bring Chocolate Oranges to us in our stockings. This bar is like that, but not sectioned and spherical, but a heck of a lot easy to stow in your handbag or backpack.
Like many holiday products, it's the packaging and associations of the season that make them special. Most chocolate Easter bunnies I ate as a child were horrible waxy chocolate but as big as my arm; they were part of the holiday and any holiday that had a large container of candy involved was obviously good. Easter, as the last candy holiday of the year meant that all jelly beans and peeps must be eaten, because there will be no more candy until Halloween. I pretty much feel the same way about chocolate oranges, they're not necessarily good when you look at them with the analytical eye of sophisticated adult tastes, but nostalgia makes up for a lot of that.
Here are the ingredients: Sugar, skimmed milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, butterfat, emulsifier (Soya lecithin), flavorings (orange oil, vanillin). See ... it's sugar and some powdered milk ... then you get to the chocolate part. Terry's is very sweet, very milky chocolate, and not milk in the sense of that deliciously smooth and creamy stuff, I'm talking that powdered stuff. You know, the stuff you drank when you couldn't afford real milk. The stuff that reminds you of not being able to afford milk, let alone candy.
All that said, the taste of this is Christmas. It's sweet and has the wonderful essence of orange (which is a really good complement to chocolate). The bar is delightfully shaped like a bunch of orange sections in a row and you can snap them off almost like the round orange. So just like I can't help but gnaw on the waxy ears of chocolate rabbits, I can't help but eat this whole bar even if it did make my teeth hurt.

Nestle Munchies
Name: Munchies
I'd never seen these before, but the package seemed happy so I bought it. Unfortunately the import label that was applied to it covered up half of the original label but I took it off and founds that it says "Share me Munchies." Okay.
Munchies are a little ball of biscuit (cookie) surrounded by flowing caramel and covered in chocolate, shaped like a little cube (okay, not totally cubular, a little shorter than wide).
They're completely poppable, about the same size as a Rolo and like a tiny little Twix bar. The ratio of chocolate seems greater than a Twix, so if chocolate is your thing and not the cookie so much, this might be a good alternative candy.
They're cute and very sweet but a little lacking in flavor for me. The biscuit isn't really crunchy, just crumbly and the caramel is sweet but lacks the carmelized sugar hit that I enjoy.

Fry's Turkish Delight
Name: Turkish Delight
I've included a couple of reviews here for Turkish Delight (or Turkish Paste), which is a rather obscure kind of candy in the States. I found this chocolate covered Turkish delight bar at Cost Plus. It's a little smaller than a deck of cards.
What intrigued me at first was the quote on it that said that it was "Full of Eastern Promise." At first I thought it said Easter, so I was confused enough to pick it up and look closer.
The bar is basically a delicately rose flavored jelly center covered with sweet milk chocolate. I happen to like flowery flavors, so it's a big hit with me. It isn't heavy and cloying like some fruit, minty or nut flavors can be and it has a pleasant aftertaste that lingers, like I've eaten a bouquet.
Being chocolate covered it also solves a common problem I have with Turkish delight, in that it's usually covered in corn starch, which is just freakishly messy. I just wish it weren't so danged expensive. Turkish Paste is usually about $8.00 a pound, but this stuff would end up being over $15 a pound. But the cool thing is that most other Turkish Paste is sold in 1/2 pound boxes and I don't usually want that much, so I guess there is a middle ground in there.

Norfolk Manor Jelly Babies
Name: Jelly Babies
If you have ever watched Dr. Who with Tom Baker, you've seen him carry around that little white paper bag and offer folks Jelly Babies. I never knew what they were, just that they were different from jelly beans and not quite Swedish fish. I finally stumbled across them at a little grocer I stopped in after a meeting in San Francisco over the weekend that carried a lot of UK candies (I picked up a very fresh Curly Wurly while I was there too!).
Unfortunately, not having grown up in the UK, that is the sum total of my exposure to them. I had no idea until I started to make this post that the different colors had some sort of personality. This site has a pretty good history of the candies (apologies as they seem to have put black text on a dark blue background). The important thing to note about this review is the brand - these are Norfolk Manor Jelly Babies. The Bassett's Jelly Babies (the original) are not imported into the US (so I'll have to have someone grab some in the UK).
A jelly baby is simply a jelly candy with a grainy, crystallized sugar coating on it. Not quite a smooth as a jelly bean, the coating is like a very fine granulated sugar, only with flavor.
The colors are quite nice, in soothing herbal colors of red, green, another green, orange, yellow, another yellow, and black. The smell fruity and sweet, just like jelly beans. If you remember the Swedish Jelly Rats I reviewed a while back, they're kind of like that, but larger and with a bit more of a sugary coating. The shapes are wonderful, little pudgy-bellied, round-headed babies. The babies are flavored according to their colors, but I wasn't really able to figure it out. Orange is orange, yellow is lemon and one of the greens is lime. Beyond that, I can only say that they were fruity. Black might be currant, red might be strawberry.
They're exceptionally sweet and the flavor has no hint of tart to it, just a slight blessing of fruit aroma for the most part. They cute and easy to share and of course they're a nostalgia favorite for generations of Brits. I am, sadly, not terribly impressed with them. Should I find the Bassett's, I will probably give them a try, just to be sure that I'm not missing something. Just for the record, I do like jelly candies in general: gummi bears and Swedish fish and even some jelly beans, these were just too sweet without enough flavor.
More about Jelly Babies here.

Head-to-Head: Smarties vs. M&Ms
Yes, in the continuing quest to not only bring you the best and worst candies in the world, I'm going to educate you on the subtleties between our seemingly identical candy choices.
Today I'm tackling the UK product, Smarties, which is made my Nestle and the American product M&Ms which are made by Mars.
First, a little background (some of this I only know vaguely so feel free to correct me). M&Ms were originally developed as a candy for soldiers to give them quick energy in combat situations and be easy to carry. Some people wonder what M&M stands for, and many think it's for the Mars brothers, but in reality it's Forrest Mars, Sr. and Bruce Murrie. Murrie's father was one of Hershey's trusted partners at the company and provided the chocolate inside M&Ms until the 70s.
As with most UK treats under the Nestle name, they were originally made by Rowntree which was later swallowed up by the growing Nestle corporation. Developed several years before the M&M, Smarties are still one of the most popular candies in the UK. The UK version are purported to have orange chocolate flavored orange Smarties (and back when there was a brown Smartie it was mocha flavored) but I am using Canadian Smarties for this head to head.
First, Smarties are slightly bigger than M&Ms. An M&M is approximately 1 cm in diameter while the Smartie is 1.5 cms.
However, the Smartie is slightly flatter than the M&M. I didn't weigh them.
The most noticeable difference between the two is the candy shell. The Smartie shell is much thicker and has a very pronounced crunch to it. It also seems to have a flavor. When I looked at the ingredients for the Smarties, I saw that there is wheat flour (and cornstarch & sugar) in the shell whereas the M&M shell is made only of sugar, cornstarch and color. The Smartie has a slightly graham cracker taste to it. It's pleasant and perhaps a little cinnamonny (I know there's no cinnamon in it). The M&M provides more chocolate punch. I guess geometry would tell me that even if the mass of the Smartie is the same as an M&M it still has more shell by virtue of being less spherical.
As appearances go, they're both exceptionally pretty candies. Given a choice between the two, I prefer less shell and more chocolate. In reality I usually buy Almond M&Ms more often than the plain ones, but if someone puts a bowl in front of me, I can hardly resist. But I can see that there would be times that I'd crave the cookie-like taste of the Smarties.

ECHL Game Night 2/10: Nailers at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on February 10, 2007 - 23:25
.500 and moving on up.
Morgan Cey, who has been awesome this year, stopped 39 of 41 shots faced for the win. The Chiefs were paced by veteran Jean Desrochers' 2 goals and Randy Rowe's 2 assists. Johnstown got their other goals from Eric Przepiorka (who in my mind has shaped up to be a keeper), Adam Henrich and John Adams. PJ Atherton, Ryan Gibbons, Maxime Boisclair, Dimitri Tarabrin and Geoff Waugh had individual helpers. Cey, Desrochers and Henrich were the game's three stars. Johnstown was actually outshot 41-21 in the contest.
The victory moves Johnstown back to .500 for the season at 20-20-4, 3 points back of 4th place Toledo.
First Period
JHN Przepiorka, (7) (Atherton, Gibbons), 4:47

CHL Game Night: 2/9Submitted by chad on February 10, 2007 - 15:53
Chris Lawrence continues to put up points, this time earning two assists in Mississauga's 6-3 win over Toronto on Friday night. The IceDogs had 60 shots in the game. Lawrence also had a fighting major in the third period against Rob Kweit. Lawrence was plus-1 for the game.
Marek Bartanus hit the scoresheet for the second game in a row after being held scoreless for 14 straight games when he notched a second period assist in Owen Sound's 6-3 loss in Plymouth. He had an even rating for the game.
According to one of the Ontario papers, Kevin Beech and Erie didn't figure to have much of a chance against OHL powerhouse Kitchener Friday night. The paper was right. The Rangers put 50 shots on Beech, who stopped 42 of them in an 8-3 loss. The game was 5-0 entering the third period.
After two losses, Prince George returned to their winning ways with a 9-0 shellacking of Portland in Prince George. Vladimir Mihalik had a shorthanded assist and a fight vs. Tayler Jordan. Jordan is a 6-6 winger with one goal and one point on the year to go with 93 PIM. Mihalik was plus-1.
Dane Crowley and Everett squeaked by Spokane 2-1 in Everett. Crowley was scoreless, but was on the ice for both of the Silvertips' goals to finish plus-2.

NHL Game Night 2/9: Lightning at RangersSubmitted by pete on February 9, 2007 - 21:35
After winning 7 straight on the road, I suppose they were due for a stinker.
Johan Holmqvist allowed 4 goals on 16 shots before being pulled in the loss. It wasn't under the best of circumstances, obviously, but tonight was Holmqvist's 30th decision of the season which graduated him by site criteria. Holmqvist has been moved to the Bolt Prospects Alumni section on the Prospects page.
Kudos to Ryan Craig for defending Blair Jones after Ryan Hollweg decided to try to knee the rookie. Craig is a man. The Lightning fail to keep pace with Atlanta and are now 7 points behind Atlanta, but still hold a game in hand.
First Period
NY Rangers 4:28, Colton Orr 1 (Fedor Tyutin, Blair Betts)
NY Rangers 11:32, Marcel Hossa 4 (Michal Rozsival, Martin Straka)
Second Period

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
07 Mar 2013 11:36 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan
A million Syrians have fled their country since a deadly civil conflict erupted two years ago, the UN refugee agency says.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said on Wednesday thousands more continued to flee Syria where an uprising began in March 2011 and has since escalated into a civil war.
"With a million people in flight, millions more displaced internally, and thousands of people continuing to cross the border every day, Syria is spiralling towards full-scale disaster," Antonio Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said in a statement.
"We are doing everything we can to help, but the international humanitarian response capacity is dangerously stretched. This tragedy has to be stopped."
The UNHCR said the one million figure comprised both registered refugees and those awaiting registration.
Live Box 20117693233259422
The count was based on fresh data received from its offices in the Middle East, the UNHCR said.
The agency previously had estimated that numbers would reach 1.1 million by June but said that it would adjust that figure.
Al Jazeera's Nisreen El Shamayleh, reporting from the Kilis refugee camp in Turkey, said the host country has paid a "very heavy" price to host the Syrians who fled their country.
Turkey has so far spent more than $700m on refugees since the beginning of the conflict, she said.
Of that amount Turkey has received $89m in foreign aid.
The are more than 186,000 registered Syrian refugees in Turkey, with over 100,000 staying elsewhere, and 40,000 more stranded along the border between Syria and Turkey, our correspondent said.
The exodus has intensified this year, the UNHCR said, with 400,000 Syrians fleeing their country since January 1.
Only a year ago, the UN agency had only registered 33,000 refugees.Forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, have been battling armed factions that have seized part of the country's north in a conflict that the UN estimates has killed 70,000 people.Refugees 'traumatised'
Most of the anti-Assad rebels are Sunni Muslims, while the ruling clan and many of its most fervent supporters are from the Alawite minority, an offshoot of the Shia sect.
The UN said the latest refugees "arrive traumatised, without possessions and having lost members of their families". Around half of the refugees are children, the majority under the age of eleven.
The refugees have fled primarily to Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, but increasingly they are trying to reach North Africa and Europe, the UNHCR said.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
"This number translates into one million people who are dependent on the generosity of host countries, the response of humanitarian agencies and the financial support of governments and individuals," said Guterres.
He underlined the impact of the numbers, with Lebanon's population having increased by as much as 10 percent and Jordan's energy, water, health and education services being strained to the limit.
Iraq, already struggling with a million internally displaced people, has received over 100,000 Syrian refugees in the past year.
"These countries should not only be recognised for their unstinting commitment to keeping their borders open for Syrian refugees, they should be massively supported as well," said Guterres.
The UNHCR chief is due to travel to the region later this week to visit the agency's operations in Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon.

'Pope of Pop' Phil Ramone recorded and produced the majority of contemporary music's biggest names. Burt Bacharach, Bono, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra are just a few of his names on his client list. Ramone has passed away at the age of 79 following heart surgery.

Published in Music
Keywords: Phil Ramone, music producer, Aretha Franklin, Grammys, Stevie Wonder
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic online) - Winning a phenomenal 14 Grammys, there was little doubt that Ramone would be ensconced in the world of music. A violin prodigy, he began studying music at the age of three. At 10, he performed for Queen Elizabeth II.
Ramone decided that performing wasn't for him and turned his attentions to making other musicians sound good. He opened his own studio, New York's A&R Recordings, and developed a friendship with Atlantic Records' renowned engineer and producer, Tom Dowd.
Ramone made his own distinctive brand across most all types of music, embracing the old and the new, working across all genres of music and served as chair of the board of trustees of The Recording Academy.
Ramone would turn his attention to music for the stage and screen. His scores for Broadway and off-Broadway productions included "Chicago" and "The Wiz." Soundtracks that he produced for the silver screen included such hits as "Flashdance," "Ghostbusters" and "Midnight Cowboy."
And in television, he produced and supervised music for television specials such as the Oscars, Elton John at Radio City Music Hall, "The Jim Henson Hour" and "The Muppets at Walt Disney World."
Self-effacing, Ramone said his success was due to the talent he surrounded himself with. "It's all about the raw material," he told CNN in 2005 from his home in Westchester County, New York. "You have to be prepared for anything that comes."
"Today we lost one of the true musicians, innovators and geniuses of the record industry," musical composer and producer Quincy Jones said. "His immense talents were only surpassed by the gigantic size of his heart."
Stevie Wonder, who worked extensively for Ramone on his many Grammy-award winning albums, declared, "What a great man, what a kind spirit, such an incredible producer." Calling Ramone "the star of stars behind the stars." "Truly a tragic loss for us on earth but what a wonderful blessing for heaven."
Singer Aretha Franklin said in a statement, "This is so shocking. I just performed for his tribute in December . Truly one of the great names in music has gone on, but the melodies will remain."
Barbra Streisand recalled working with Ramone in 1967 when she did a free concert in New York's Central Park and noticed "his brilliance at capturing sound," she said. They would later work together on the film "A Star is Born" and later the soundtrack to "Yentl."
"Phil had impeccable musical taste, great ears and the most gentle way of bringing out the best in all the artists he worked with," Streisand said. "The monumental recordings he produced will endure for all time."

Since that time Gary Mayes and Nu Era have been working behind the scenes with other artists as well as developing into G Mayes and NE and now they're ready to share it with the world and I'm so glad because I've been patiently waiting.

I'll be brewing parti-gyle style tomorrow!
I was hoping to get some suggestions for the second batch.
Any input would be great!
The first beer will be an IPA
22# 2 row
2# crystal 60
1# carapils
1#flaked wheat
2 oz Warrior 15-17 aa @60 min
4 oz Simcoe 11.9 aa
6 oz Cascade 6.3 aa
2 packets Winsor dry yeast.
The Hop additions are; 2oz Warrior @ start of the boil
Mix 2 oz Cascade and 2oz Simcoe. Divide into 5 equal amounts and add 1/5 to the boil @ 20 min, 15 min, 10 min, 5 min and 0 min.
The last 6 oz of hops will be dry hopped in the secondary.
Dough in, mash @ 153 deg, sparge with 170 deg until I recover 12 gallons. start my boil.
The second runnings are what I'm wondering about?
I was thinking to just continue to sparge until I got 6 more gallons. Then I was going to add to that untill I get the OG up to about 1.045
I have an entire Mr. Beer kit that I got last year for Christmas and about 3# of light DME.
I'm really not sure what hops to use and what the second beer will come out like.
Okay, first off, you need to mash in again, not just let the sparge continue. Parti-gyle brewing in this instance requires a second mash with hotter liquor than the first mash then sparging the second batch until you reach the desired pre-boil brew length or pre-boil gravity, whichever comes first.
I have no real idea where you'll end up. When I parti-gyle, the first batch is generally above 1.100 for a second wort of ~1.035 without additions. With such a massive grist in the first runnings, efficiency is generally relatively low, leaving sufficient "stuff" in the mash tun for the second mash to extract.
Me, I'd sprinkle some milled black patent malt or roasted barley on top of the mash before sparging the second runnings to get a nice dark color, get the OG of that wort to ~1.035, hop it gently, and call it Mild. But then I've a weakness for Mild.
BrewmasterFort Christian Brewpub
St Croix, US Virgin Islands
I understand that traditionally partigyle was achieved via the batch sparge process but I don't see any reason why selective collection of a continuous sparge couldn't yield the same result.
I think the biggest problem the OP is going to run into is not having enough sugar for all this wort. The bulk of the sugar is going to be in the 11gal first runnings leaving almost nothing for a small beer, but I assume that's why he brought up 3lb of extract.
26 pounds of grain in 17 gallons preboil would yield a max OG of 1.055 preboil at 100% efficiency.
I think it's far more common to try to derive a really big wort at 6 gallons and then use the remaining runoff for 6 gallons of small beer. I thing your mash is going to be pretty well blown out by the time you get your first beer.
Welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you.New 100% Stainless Steel Heating Elements are IN! ULWD 5500w Ripple, 2000w, 1500w, etcChugger Pumps, Pump Kits, Camlocks, Sightglasses, Clear USA made Silicone Tubing, RIMS, Electric Install Parts, etc.
I think that's a good plan. If you don't collect in distinct containers, the opportunity to do gravity blending is gone.
I'll bump my 2 row up to 25lbs. as that is all that I have left. That should help.
I was targeting 1.085 for my first beer and about 1.025 for my second runnings.
If I'm understanding correctly, my mash will be about 165 degrees after I sparge out 11 or so gallons. Should I then remash with 165 degree water for another 30 min or so? Then sparge out to my pre boil volume, check my gravity, make additions, etc?
I'm really concerned that mashing for the second time at 165 will give me an astringent wort and if thats the case I'll just sparge out more and make a bigger batch.
I'd really like to get 2 different beers out of the same session.
I am also picking up a pound of crystal 60 to steep in the second batch.
Thanks for any help.
Well I've decided to try a second mash for 10 min with about 3 gallons @ 165 and then collect my runnings as a batch sparge and check my gravity to see where I'm at.
If I'm below 1.025, I'll just add it to my boil.
If I'm more like 1.035, I'll add to it with the Mr. Beer kit ingredients, 1 #crystal 20 and DME, Hop it with an oz of cascade, finish it with an oz of hallertau, and pitch some nottingham on it.
This should make a nice light amber ale.

I'm a big fan of acerbic travel writer Leif Pettersen, author of the Lonely Planet guidebook to Romania and Moldova (here's why he insists that you need to go to Romania.)
Read more of him at his blogs Killing Batteries and This Is Why I Love Minneapolis (And Sometimes Saint Paul.)
This past year, he finally got what all travel writers aspire to and hope for: The Elusive Really Good Deal.
In return for his excellent work for Lonely Planet, he was the anointed guy to help update their Tuscany and Umbria guidebook.
In between hysterically funny rants about St Catherine of Siena and why he thinks Naples blows chunks, Leif appears to have gotten some work done in Italy:
"I must say that I hit the Eating sections hard. I heroically managed to dine in nearly 70 Tuscan restaurants during my 31 days on the road for this guidebook. There were times that I reeked so much of truffle oil that dogs came running out of the hills and gave chase as I drove by. I spent over 150 euros on gelato alone. I drank enough wine to earn a lifetime membership in the Pope Paul III Wine Appreciation Club….There's already been a flood of positive reviews about the book online…..
'This guidebook changed my life. I've arranged to be legally wed to it.' – Leif Pettersen, Amazon.com"
Hmmm, that last one seems a little suspicious.
With Lonely Planet TV, Leif gives us a nice video overview of must-see towns in Tuscany.
If any Perceptive Travel blog readers have other suggestions for this part of Italy, we'd love to hear from you down in the comments.
