I don't want to hi-jack Toadmund's bread thread to mention about cooking with beer, but I watched an episode of Food Rush on TV. Anyway beer has yeast like some breads. Good taste to drink and cook with!
I was in Seattle at a less classy place for seafood. They put parchment paper on the table and bring a huge bowl of steamed seafood. You eat with your hands, no plates, and the shells build up in a pile in front of you. Nice eh!
I'll have to try this Clams an beer with french bread!
I've brewed at home in the past. So now I'll brew Pilsner beer and use some to cook this recipe below. Even though it is summer in California, I converted an chest freezer with a separate thermostat so I can keep the brewing at a higher than freezer temperature and also higher than refrigerator temperature, but cooler than ambient.
58 F is what is best till it is bottled, then cooler refrigerator temperature to melow.
