😆 I’d say so !!
My hubby makes beer – he’s a bit of a fanatic 🙂 He’s into India Pale Ales, which is a pain as I prefer lagers & cider.
People always give you funny looks when you offer them homebrew – a sort of pained “I must be polite” expression – but after they’ve had a sip of his, they gulp it down and ask for more !
I’ve been trying to get him to do the Degree in brewing at ECU for a couple of years now. I am the ONLY wife on the planet trying to encourage her husband to give up his day job and become a brewer 🙂
Hiya ! I’d like to recommend Yoke Mardewi’s Sourdough technique https://www.wildsourdough.com.au/ she does classes too if you’re In Western Australia. Using this technique you can make bread using only flour, salt and water.
Also, without being difficult (and I’ve only just joined this site:) how do you guys feel about bread in general ?
I’ve been following a Paeo/no grains diet as I have Hashimotos which is linked with coeliacs (30% of people with Hashis have Coeliacs and 30 % of people with Ceoliacs have Hashis – its an autoimmune thing), so I am a bit biased here 🙂 Oh and I miss my gorgeous sourdough – I used to make the most yummo croissants !
But from a sustainability point of view, wheat is a bugger of a crop – it takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of work, for not much yield in terms of calories. If fact, all the grains are a bit of a dead end from this point of view. Chickpeas and lentils give a much better return with much less work…. Perhaps I should start a thread on making chappatis with besan flour 🙂
But seriously – should we be eating bread at all ?! Would be very interested in your thoughts !!
Cheers !
