Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Thinking about shit

Just about to start watching that New Zealand detective thing with Dolores. When I remembered I had no post for tomoroow. That's today now.

I've spent the last couple of days researching and writing about mashing temperatures. I've never really extracted and compared mashing details before. When I sellotaped the numbers together, I got this:

Mash and tap heats overview 1922 - 1934

It explained the difference between English and Scottish mashing. And exposed Lorimer & Clark as the odd man out.

Can't say more. Dolores is getting restless.

Here's a prety label instead:
