		<description><![CDATA[Never heard of this? Well, it is some kind of solution that supposedly helps breaks down the pectin in fruits, which then helps to improve fruit yields. That is you get more juice and sugars from your fruits. And thus meant only for those wines that uses fresh fruits (as opposed to fruit juices). It also helps reduce the &#8220;hazing&#8221; effect often produced when making fruit wines. I don&#8217;t think this would be a problem for those people making grape wines because grapes do not have that much pectin. But if you are making wine from lets say, apples or peaches or some other fruit rich in pectin, you should add some pectic enzyme solution to help the process. This can come either in powder or liquid form. I am not too sure which is better but since the eBay seller have only the liquid form for sale, I have no choice. Not too expensive, considering that one little bottle (14.8ml) is enough for like 230 litres of wine. It is potent stuff. However I am not sure what flavour will it impact on my wines. Lets hope there will not be much effect on the flavour. Won&#8217;t want my wines to taste rubbery or something. Adding chemicals to wines often will result in such tastes in the wine. Seldom such chemicals are tasteless. Yes, I don&#8217;t know why but somehow I rotate the photo wrongly. Couldn&#8217;t differentiate between clockwise or anticlockwise. Must be getting old. Shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. It is just a little bottle. Anyway, I will be making some pineapple wine soon. Will be using some canned pineapples which should have some pectin in it. Lets see whether there will be some effect on the wine after I use this Pectin Enzyme solution. The reason I am using some canned pineapples is because my previous batch of pineapple wine did taste a bit off. I guess you can say the taste was a bit dull. Something about the pineapple juice made it a bit dull and unexciting. Hopefully adding some real fruit into the mix will &#8220;liven&#8221; things up for me. Will update you guys soon.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, yet another soap review. And it is again from the same seller on eBay. I don&#8217;t know why but when I need such soaps, I will try to buy from the same seller. The reason is actually very simple &#8211; you know that they will not cheat you since you have already purchased items from them before. Of course that does not mean that they will not cheat you later on but at least it is much safer. I took a chance with this seller since the seller had very little ratings but luckily it all panned out. I am rather pleased with his or her service actually. Anyway, I bought this charcoal soap to do some cleansing. I have a slight rash on my right leg. Not too sure why it happened but it did not go away. The rash remained so I am thinking of using some very neutral charcoal soap to wash it daily. Hopefully my rash will go away soon. It is beginning to leave a little ugly mark on my leg. A bit unsightly if I go out in shorts. Not that I worry about how I look, being so old and ugly. People usually look at my face and they stop looking at me after that. Yes, came all the way from Korea. Apparently they have many cute things in Korea and girls love them.  I don&#8217;t know I seldom buy things from Korea. The eBay seller is idreamone. Sells some other Korean stuff as well. See it is made from charcoal. Supposed to be very cleansing and can help whiten the skin. I am not looking to whiten my skin, I look like a ghost already. But the cleansing part is very important. This rash must go or it will fester and my leg will rot off. I definitely would like to have my leg intact if possible. The ingredients are &#8220;Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Glycerine, Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Junipar Berry Essential Oils, Charcoal Powder&#8221;. I think it should be Juniper Berry instead of Junipar Berry. Next weight is about 85g. The side view of the soap. This soap does have some charcoal soap but it can be very difficult to describe it. And to make matters more complicated, they have added other oils into the mix, so I cannot easily describe the smell. Overall, I don&#8217;t think it is too offensive at all.

		<description><![CDATA[I honestly have no idea the difference between yeast energizer and yeast nutrients. A lot of wine or beer making recipes require only yeast nutrients but I came across a few which require both. From my basic understand, yeast energizer consist of more nutrients and that special &#8220;yeast hulls&#8221; which would make for a better fermentation. The yeast nutrients consist of those nutrients yeast need to make for a healthy fermentation. Does that make sense? No, they mean the same thing? Well, I agree. But I guess it could be because of the difference in ingredient composition that makes the difference. So if a recipe calls for yeast energizer, then use yeast energizers. If not, then adding yeast nutrients should be sufficient for the fermentation. Of course even recipes get it wrong, so sometimes you just have to experiment. As usual, I bought this online from eBay. There are quite a few eBay stores selling home brewing equipment and accessories. In fact, buying things from eBay has become my favourite way of purchasing stuff which is hard to find in Singapore. They might not always be cheaper but at least you don&#8217;t have to travel hours to get small items right? Here we have this Crosby &#38; Baker Yeast Energizer. Claims to restart &#8220;stuck&#8221; fermentation. So lets say that your beer or wine suddenly stalls and there is no fermentation but you know that there are still some sugars remaining in the wort or must, you should add some of this yeast energizer to help it along. Product of Canada. Add 1/2 tsp per gallon of wine must to stimulate fermentation. Aerate and apply immediately. You need some oxygen to help get your stuck fermentation going. No oxygen, your yeast will not reproduce and you will be back to square one. The ingredients are Diammonium Phosphate, Yeast hulls, Magnesium Sulphate and Vitamin B Complex. For yeast nutrients, it is usually Diammonium Phosphate only. I know that Yeast Hulls do act as nutrients for the yeast. Yes, they do eat themselves for nutrients. Just like humans. Smells like well&#8230;yeast to me. Perhaps because of all the yeast hulls in there. I will be using the yeast energizer in some of the wines I have in mind. Hope that they will help produce a much better wine. From what I read, if you can&#8217;t get the correct temperature for fermentation, having healthy yeast will indeed help produce better tasting alcohol. So this should be a plus.

		<description><![CDATA[The weather these days seem to be weird don&#8217;t you agree? In the mornings, it would be very sunny. Then just after lunch it would rain cats and dogs. I guess this is what happen when you abuse the weather. It comes back and abuses you. Anyway, I bought this candy from&#8230;.well&#8230;..Singpost. Apparently Singpost is now more about retail than a postal service. You go there to buy some stamps, instead you are bombarded with candies, mobile phones, Christmas cards, DVD players and so on. Felt like I have entered some retail shop than Singpost. God damn it, I just want to buy some stamps!  I don&#8217;t know about you but I feel that Singpost is going the way of SMRT. SMRT instead of concentrating on providing train and bus services, spend all of its time and effort on retail and property. That is probably why we have so many MRT breakdowns. Some of which occurred daily and blamed on whatever they can think of, even the weather you can get MRT breakdown&#8230;&#8230;  And looking back at Singpost, you will see tons of complains about Singpost&#8217;s postal services in the forums. Okay then, enough of my complains. It is now time to review this Dextro Energy. Some sort of candy made from dextrose which is supposed to give you &#8220;fast&#8221; energy. Something like bananas, only cooler and you don&#8217;t feel funny eating them outside in public. Dextro Energy Blackcurrant with Vitamin C. Lookie here, it states &#8211; direct energy. I have no idea what &#8220;direct energy&#8221; means, most probably saying that the energy from the candy can be accessed by your body fast. Hmmm&#8230;Dextro Energy provides fast carbohydrates in between meals and on the go. Dextrose enters the bloodstream directly. Idea for work, school and sport. They have other flavours like lime and raspberry. The blackcurrant flavour I have is pretty nice. I had expected it to be overwhelmingly sweet but surprisingly it isn&#8217;t. Although I have reduced my sugar intake drastically, I think this would work as a quick pick-me-up during meals. Made from dextrose. You know the kind of &#8220;sugar&#8221; that last time your parents force down your throat when you were feeling ill? Usually mix into water. I think the name is Glucose. You buy the glucose in a can and it is all powdery? I remember having them (mixed with water) when I was little.  The taste is exactly the same! Oh, this candy is made in Germany. Ingredients are dextrose, maltodextrin, critic acid, calcium carbonate, magnesium stearate, flavouring and vitamin C. What the hell is magnesium stearate doing in my candy? And why is there calcium carbonate (chalk) doing in my candy as well. Me don&#8217;t want chalk. But from what I read, apparently calcium carbonate is now used as an dietary supplement if someone isn&#8217;t taking enough calcium. Yes, the actual candy themselves. One piece of candy. Actually overall not too shabby. If you are looking for something easy to consume, this is it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have no idea what micro agglomerated corks are, don&#8217;t need to worry. Only recently did I discover this. It is actually a pretty recent invention. And they are supposed to be much cheaper as well. The reason is most likely they are made from the &#8220;waste&#8221; of cork process. These micro agglomerated corks are actually tiny uniform pieces of cork that has been &#8220;glued&#8221; together to form a smooth cork. That is a pretty innovative way of reusing your cork production waste. I don&#8217;t know whether they are really better or not, but from what I read, they should only be used to cork wines for shorter periods of time, like maybe 2-3 years at most. After that, oxygen might seep into the wine. If you want something longer, get natural corks  that has not been processed. Those should last a pretty while. Definitely more than this &#8220;micro agglomerated&#8221; corks. As usual, I bought this set from eBay. It has become my favourite place to shop for wine making products. Of course you must be willing to wait for the goods to arrive. If not, Singapore has a few wine brewing stores where you can get supplies from. 30 micro agglomerated corks. Product of Portugal. From what I know, Portugal seems to be THE place for corks. I am guessing the cork oak tree is plentiful there. The advantages of cork as a stopper is that it retains its elasticity very well. So if you pitch or squeeze a cork, it should &#8220;bounce&#8221; back to its original shape pretty well. That is why those Europeans have been using cork to &#8220;stopper&#8221; their wines for centuries. Nice, got a logo of grapes. One thing I discover about these micro agglomerated corks is that they are pretty smooth. This should go very well with the hand corker I have. Those natural corks which I had used before can be rather difficult to use. Anyway, once my mead is done, I will have my first try using these micro agglomerated corks. Another view of the cork. If you are into wine making and you are looking for some short term storage, this could be a good solution. And if you are using a hand corker, this would certainly save you some effort and sweat. I wonder whether they suffer from cork taint or not? From what I read, natural corks often suffer from cork taint &#8211; giving the wines a slightly cupboard smell and taste.

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know I have done this review before. But it is such a amazing yeast that I just have to have a go at it again. For those who are not into brewing or just starting brewing, this is an ale style yeast. Which means it produces ale, as opposed to lager. Although they are both beers, the difference between ales and lagers is the taste. Lagers are a lot more neutral in flavour and is actually much more preferred by the majority of beer drinkers these days. And most commercial beers are lagers. I am betting that almost 70% of the beers sold in the coffee shops and bars are lagers. Ales are a lot more complex (in general) and most likely need some getting used to. However for the home brewer, lagers can be rather difficult to achieve. That is because of the temperature needed for lagering can be below 10 Degree Celsius. And temperature control is rather difficult as well. First you need to get the temperature to room temperature then after a few hours lower it to that of lagering temperature. Not as easy as it sounds, especially if you are just a home brewer. Of course commercial breweries shouldn&#8217;t have such problems. For home brewers like me, we need to find someway to achieve the &#8220;neutral&#8221; taste of lager through the use of ale yeast. Hence, we have this Nottingham Brewing Yeast &#8211; it is fairly neutral and if you can lower your temperature as low as possible, you can get the lager-like taste profile. All without the need for lagering equipment. Thus it is a very popular yeast to use, especially for beginners. Even experts use them as the yeast is very convenient for quick and easy beer. I have used them for countless beers &#8211; the Australian Pale Ale, the Mexican Cerveza and even Pilsener! All work pretty well if you can lower the temperature to 16 Degree Celsius. One pack of the Danstar Nottingham Brewing Yeast. Enough for 23litre of beer. Isn&#8217;t that cool? The net weight of the yeast pack is 11g. Just imagine, such a small packet of yeast will be able to ferment 23 litres of wort. I am always amazed with the wonders of these little yeasts and bacteria and what they can do. Back of the pack. Some instructions for you to follow &#8211; suspend the yeast in 100ml of warm (NOT HOT) water. Do not stir. Let stand for 15 minutes then stir gently to suspend all the yeast. To avoid temperature shock which could kill the yeast cells, adjust the temperature of the suspension to that of the wort by slowly adding a little wort every 5 minutes, until the temperature of the yeast suspension is equal to that of the wort. Add to the wort immediately. For those who don&#8217;t know, wort is the &#8220;beer&#8221; before it was fermented. Always follow the instructions from the yeast manufacturer. The ingredients are yeast &#38; emulsifier....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently Google doesn&#8217;t like my blog anymore and they stopped indexing me altogether. Not too sure why. Perhaps it is because I changed my wordpress theme and they hated the spanking new design? Even my previous rankings have all fallen and I can&#8217;t even find my site on their search. Even with the phrase &#8220;Kefir Singapore&#8221;, my site does not appear in the results at all. I don&#8217;t think I have done anything illegal or whatever. Just regular postings and original content on the blog, yet they seem to have problems with my site. Kind of sad. But hey, it is not like I am making money from this blog right? I will just keep on posting and hopefully Google will let me get back up. If it doesn&#8217;t, no harm done. Anyway, I bought this from eBay. It is some sort of propolis soap from Korea. Propolis as in the one found in bee hives. For more information on Propolis, check out this wiki on Propolis. It is supposed to be some sort of super food and when applied to your skin, has anti-bacterial effects. I am not doctor but that sounds pretty good to me. If you are interested, the eBay seller is idreamone. They sell all sorts of Korean nicknacks and sometimes you will find soap available.  At the moment, the seller seems to be selling some weird warmer hats. Not for sunny Singapore I guess. One bar of Propolis soap. Converted to Singapore dollars, about 4 to 5 dollars. From what I read, this is supposed to be a natural soap without any sort of chemicals.  Pretty good if your skin cannot handle harsh chemicals. Nice? Some Korean words I have no idea what they are saying. I think it is the brand or something. Nowadays Korean stuff is getting pretty popular, especially among the young. They have been watching too much shows and listening to too much songs from Korea liao. Soap Ingredients : Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Glycerine, Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Propolis Oil &#38; Extract. Still cannot understand why is there a need to add Glycerine to the ingredients? Shouldn&#8217;t the oils and the sodium hydroxide combine to form Glycerine? I mean that is what natural soap is made from right? About 85g. I think one bar should last me about 1 month or so. I bath twice per day only, so don&#8217;t sniffing me too much. Unlike the previous soap I bought (the rice soap), this did not have much of a smell. I was expecting like honey but it smelled pretty neutral. Which is good actually. I do not like my soap with too much aromas. Bookmark It Hide Sites]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think this mineral water has been on our shelves for decades already. I only realize it these few days when I was looking for some glass bottles. Surprisingly, the mineral water is kept in a green glass bottle which is weird since most of the mineral water we have in Singapore are stored in plastic bottles. Perhaps that it why this mineral water is more expensive. And it is from China. They label it as &#8220;Alkaline Mineral Water&#8221;. I had thought that most mineral waters should be relatively neutral compared to the rest of the drinks we have. But if it is truly alkaline, then it is good since most of the foodstuff we eat nowadays are often too acidic in the body. It is definitely better to have some balance when it comes to the food we consume. One bottle is about 75 cents and contains about 270ml of alkaline mineral water. The water is good for making beer since it contains a good amount of minerals for active fermentation. Never use distilled water to make your beer or you will find your fermentation lacking. Nice? One green bottle of the Laoshan Akaline Mineral Water. From some old mountain in Qingdao or something. Hopefully it is not just plain water or something. You will never know from all these China made products. Kind of scared after that milk incident a while back. Hopefully they have improved their standard and quality now. Okay, Laoshan Alkaline mineral water is a pleasant table water, bottled from the spring of the famous Mount Laoshan and contains various kinds of mineral elements, with a tradition of quality since 1905. Great. And it might just be what I need for my mead as well. The problem with making mead is that honey lacks the nutrients the yeasts need for a good fermentation (and hence a good tasting mead). Helping them out by using mineral water should produce a better mead. I hope. Some mineral contents. And the name of the importer. Fu Shan Yuan Enterprises. The importer in Malaysia. And after I dispose of the mineral water, I can make use of the empty bottle to store my mead. Life is great. Bookmark It Hide Sites]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is Chinese New Year, so it is time to buy all sorts of CNY goodies. Somehow I bought this brand of stick wafers and I regret it. EGO is a pretty popular brand in our supermarkets and some of the snacks they make are pretty decent but for this cream stick wafers, I think it is probably the worst I have ever tasted. I kid you not. The wafers are just too thick with too little filings. It is like you are eating just the stick wafers. As for the chocolate filing, the taste of chocolate is non-existent. More like sugar than chocolate if you ask me. Too little chocolate taste, too little filing, too much wafers, it becomes tasteless. I know you can save some money by reducing the amount of chocolate cream filing, but this is just too extreme liao. Even the Shop N Save housebrand stick wafers are much much better than this. I am very disappointed, especially when you are expecting something nice for Chinese New Year and all you got is tasteless crap from EGO. One can of the EGO Chocolate Flavour Cream Stick Wafers. You look at the picture and it shows you the stick wafer full of chocolate cream filings. And when you open up the can, all you got is a tiny weeny amount of filing. And hardly any chocolate taste at all. Felt like I was cheated by my best friend. EGO, what have you done to me!? The ingredients are wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, butter, eggs, soya lecithin and chocolate flavour. I think they add sugar instead of any chocolate. Taste like sweet filing instead of chocolate. Some information for you. Some nutritional information for you. If you are thinking &#8220;healthy&#8221; then you got to get your facts straight. These snacks are seldom healthy. Seems to have quite a lot of &#8220;dietary fibre&#8221; though. Perhaps this is a good alternative to eating vegetables. Or not&#8230;. This is the lid where to pry open to get to the goodies inside. Sorry about the dusty photos. The place where I am taking the photos seems to attract a lot of dust. I don&#8217;t know why. Kept in a foil to prevent air from getting into the wafers. Yes to keep the wafers crispy. If not, I would add one more complain to the list already.  This little snack like I got tons of complains&#8230;&#8230; The real photo of the stick wafers. Very thick wafers and very little chocolate cream filing. If you were me and you was expecting something great, you will be disappointed as well. I nearly cried when I tried the first wafer. Thank the gods Shop N&#8217; Save was open during Chinese New Year. If not, I might have cried myself to sleep that night. Normally chocolate wafers would have this &#8220;chocolate stripe&#8221; one. But this wafer does not have any stripe at all. Bookmark It Hide Sites]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bought this while it was on offer at NTUC. I believe for about S$10 for this 1kg bucket of honey. If I am not wrong, this can be found in most supermarkets in Singapore. Nothing too special about this honey, even though it is from Australia.  Not from China but from Australia. I feel much better buying things made in Australia than from China. It gives me a sense of peace as foodstuff from China has such a bad reputation. And you should be able to guess what I am going to be making from this honey right? Yes, mead &#8211; honey wine &#8211; nectar of the gods &#8211; whatever. The only problem I foresee with using this honey is that it is pretty dark in colour. I like my mead golden not brownish which does not appeal to the drinker, especially in Singapore where we all like things bright and light (like our lagers). One bucket of 1kg Wescobee Wild Forest Honey. I am guessing they meant the honey is gathered from the forest and the honey bees are not domesticated (so to speak). I think it is a good think as you will never know what kind of antibotics and chemicals bee keepers use to keep their honey bees alive. Of course you will not have a consistent honey flavour. Check it out &#8211; Wecobee Wild Forest 100% pure Australian honey. 1 kg net. That bee looks very happy. And we love happy bees, don&#8217;t we? Happy bees produce great tasting honey for us to enjoy. Wecobee have carefully selected this special lot of 100% pure Australian honey for you to enjoy. Fantastic for healthy living, active sports people and cooking. Nice. We have developed this pack as a handy and attractive storage container when empty. The pack is microwaveable, freezer friendly and then the lid will come off easily. Hmmm&#8230;.I don&#8217;t know about that, but this is indeed a plus point. You can reuse the plastic bucket. Suggested honey uses: Use on cereals, desserts, smoothies. Add to your tea or coffee. Use on your carrots, in cooking or straight as it is for a quick energy pick me up. Carrots? Who put honey on their carrots. Some nutrition information for you. Seems that 82% of this honey is sugar. But not just plain table sugar (sucrose) but a mix of different types of sugar (both complex and simple) which is a good thing. Full of nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Definitely better than table sugar my friends. Think of ways to replace your regular sugar with honey. Yes, pretty dark isn&#8217;t it? I don&#8217;t know why but all the buckets of this brand at NTUC looks pretty dark. Some people claim that darker colour honeys means that they have much more flavour. Although I don&#8217;t disagree with that but sometimes it could be due to the storing condition of the honey. If it is kept in a warm place, the honey will darken. Anyway, I will be making...]]></description>
