Reidsdale Stinga

I picked up a bottle of Sully's Reidsdale Stinga from the Old Cheese Factory whilst recently visiting my parents farm. The beverage is an old recipe that has been revived and could be best described as a gruit ale that is spiced with stinging nettles.

I haven't much more to say about the beer, but wanted to mention Stinga in passing as its one scoop that the ticker freaks who read my blog will not be getting.

BTW - My hop garden is starting to come alive. The established Columbus planting is now being diversified with Pride of Ringwood, Chinook and Victoria

I tried doing some unhopped ales myself but they came out tasting pretty dire. I'm not sure adding nettles would have helped!

Nothing snide Barry, perfectly blatent. If you don't like it then don't read. But then you are a ticker and are addicted to your behaviour, so you can't help but come back. I feel sorry for you

@Ed - this beer wasn't anything to write home about either. The cider at The Cheese Factory is much nicer.

God, who aat sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the bfathers by the cprophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his aSon, whom he hath bappointed cheir of all things, by whom also he dmade the eworlds;
Who being the brightness of his aglory, and the express image of his bperson, and upholding all things by the word of his cpower, when he had by himself dpurged our sins, sat down on the eright hand of the fMajesty on high;
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent aname than they.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my aSon, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a bFather, and he shall be to me a Son?
And again, when he bringeth in the afirstbegotten into the world, he saith, bAnd let all the angels of God cworship him.
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
But unto the Son he saith, Thy athrone, O God, is for bever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved arighteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the afoundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine bhands:
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall awax old as doth a garment;
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my aright hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Are they not all aministering bspirits, sent forth cto minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

BESTOW UPON ME SATAN

Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Dragon

Overwhelming strength, vanquishing all weakness

Uncompromising power, to manifest my will

A fierce presence, in the face of my enemies

Dreadfully protective, a shield for those I care about

May its fire burn in my spirit, keeping the black flame bright



Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Serpent

Possessing ancient wisdom, creative in my solitude

Believably cunning, so I can make my way in life

Extremely ruthless, when people attack

In constant renewal, rising each day prepared to do your work

May its venom run through my soul, till it consumes me



Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Peacock

Prideful in appearance, always showing off my beauty

Immortal spirit, living on throughout the ages

Steadfast in everything, willing to go anywhere necessary

Regal in stature, a presence to be reckoned with

May its essence fill my body, making every step one of confidence



Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Raven

Forever watchful, never ceasing to observe those around me

Highly intelligent, knowing what to do in every situation

A spiritual figure, so I can teach others about you

Master of death, embracing it when my time has come

May its darkness surround me, where every living being will feel you with me



Bestow upon me, Satan, the characteristics of the Goat

Stubborn in the face of adversary, never thwarted in my goals

Fearless in the face of fear, doing what others dare not

Courageous without limits, climbing every mountain in my way

Wild to the point of abandon, free to be who I am meant to be

May its energy ignite my faith and desire, forever holding high the horns of Baphomet

Stick that in your pipe, douche bag.

Here is a prayer for you Barry, but I feel you are beyond salvation

Béne + dic, Dómine, creatúram istam cerevísæ, quam ex ádipe fruménti prodúcere dignátus es: ut sit remédium salutáre humáno géneri: et præsta per invocatiónem nóminis tui sancti, ut, quicúmque ex ea bíberint, sanitátem córporis, et ánimæ tutélam percípiant. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen

Les atteintes aux personnes

1 ---Lorsque l'Eternel votre Dieu aura fait disparaître les nations dont il veut vous donner le pays, quand vous les aurez dépossédées et que vous serez établis dans leurs villes et dans leurs maisons,
2 vous mettrez à part trois villes au milieu du pays que l'Eternel votre Dieu vous donne en possession[a].

3 Vous y ferez aboutir des routes pour qu'un meurtrier puisse y chercher refuge et vous partagerez en trois districts tout le territoire du pays que l'Eternel votre Dieu vous donne[b].

4 Voici dans quel cas le meurtrier pourra se réfugier dans l'une de ces villes et y avoir la vie sauve: s'il a tué son prochain involontairement sans avoir jamais eu de haine contre lui auparavant.

5 Ce sera le cas, par exemple, s'il s'est rendu avec son camarade en forêt pour y couper du bois, et si pendant que sa main brandissait la hache pour abattre un arbre, le fer s'est détaché du manche et a touché son compagnon qui en est mort. Cet homme-là pourra s'enfuir dans l'une de ces villes et avoir la vie sauve.

6 Il ne faudrait pas que l'homme chargé de punir le crime le poursuive avec colère et, la distance jusqu'à la ville étant trop longue, le rattrape et le mette à mort alors que cet homme n'a pas mérité d'être mis à mort. En effet, il n'a jamais eu de haine contre celui qu'il a tué.

7 C'est pourquoi je vous ordonne de mettre à part trois villes.

8 Et si l'Eternel votre Dieu agrandit votre territoire, comme il l'a promis à vos ancêtres, et qu'il vous donne tout le pays qu'il a promis de leur donner,

9 c'est-à-dire si vous obéissez fidèlement à tous ces commandements que je vous prescris aujourd'hui, en aimant l'Eternel votre Dieu et en suivant toujours ses voies, vous ajouterez encore trois villes aux premières.

10 De cette manière, on évitera de mettre à mort des innocents dans le pays que l'Eternel votre Dieu vous donne en possession, car vous porteriez alors la responsabilité d'une telle mort.

11 Mais si un homme est animé de haine contre son prochain, s'il lui dresse des embûches, l'attaque et le frappe mortellement, puis va se réfugier dans l'une de ces villes,

12 les responsables de sa ville enverront quelqu'un le chercher et ils le livreront à celui qui est chargé de punir le crime, et il sera mis à mort.

13 Vous ne vous apitoierez pas sur lui, mais vous purifierez Israël du sang d'un innocent qui a été versé, et vous vous en trouverez bien.

Now it came to pass in the days when the ajudges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
And the name of the man was aElimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, bEphrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
¶ Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread.
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more asons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth aclave unto her.
And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from afollowing after thee: for whither thou goest, I will bgo; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy cpeople shall be my people, and thy God my dGod:
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
When she saw that she was astedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
¶ So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
And she said unto them, Call me not aNaomi, call me bMara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath atestified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
