The man from CAMRA doesn’t know what he’s talking about. You can’t brew with male hops, and no one does! The difference between hops in the UK vs the content lies in that British hops are more often pollinated, due to their inevitable proximity to protected hedgerows with male wild hops in them, while continental hop farmers zealously remove any male plants near the field to prevent pollination. While pollination can lead to increased crop yield, continental farmers and brewers claim it has a negative effect on foam stability, while in the UK they say the foam is not affected. You’ll also hear older continental brewers accusing British brewers of brewing with a mixture of male and female hops, and saying “that’s why their foam is rubbish”. As for keg beer - it only needs to be “dead”, without yeast if the consumer won’t tolerate a slight yeast haze in their pint. The way in which the beer is pushed out from the bottom of a keg means you can’t do cask-style cellarmanship to settle the yeast to give a clear pint- it’ll always be resuspended a little and end up in the glass, making the British drinker think the pint is “off”. That said, at that time, the beer market was dominated even more singularly than today by giant breweries making beer that I’d mainly accuse of being boring-so Camra did serve a purpose!

I hope "John Green of CAMRA" wasn't their spokesman - he'd need to improve a long way to rate as merely _incoherent_

I love his accent. I remember his commercial where he said "they really are, lovely, lovely biscuits".

my earliest attempt at home brewing was also my last. in the days before we all had the benefit of boilers, I used all the water heated by our immersion heater to wash & sterilise the bottles. f--k me, I nearly started ww3 in our house. that was mid 70's, & the beer (Tom Caxton bitter ) turned out to be pretty good for a raw beginner, but I couldn't go through all that hassle again

This seems like it’s part of a larger programme - does anyone have the full thing?
