I use a better bottle (http://www.better-bottle.com/) for second fermentation, but I'm doing a lot of primary only recently. I even dry hopped an IPA in primary with excellent results. Some pisco manufacturers have big "dama juanas" (http://www.todocoleccion.net/preciosa-antigua-botella-da...
Hey guys, for my brew I went to Cañas y Tapas, and they gave me all their empty bottles (fullers, 500ml). They work well. I now use 32OZ bottles that were given to me by a friend. We should organize a home brewers meetup! I just bottled an oatmeal stout, should be ready to drink in a couple of weeks...
Hi Alan, I use a framing shop on Av. La Mar, I think it's called Juan Pablo II. It's just in front of Il Pastificio on Av. La Mar, on the left hand side if you're driving up La Mar. They have been good, mostly on time (once they didn't have the frames ready when promised), but quite pleased with the...

Hot on the heels of our wonderfully successful comedy night, is another great Good Companions tradition - the pantomime!!! This year, the pantomime is a completely original piece written by David Killerby and it is very funny!!! The committee did a read through a few months ago and we all became rea...
I went there last night. It's not tex-mex, seems more legit Mexican, but I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. I had "Tacos Pastor" which are pork with pineapple in corn tortillas, very tasty. My wife had some quesadillas, made with what seemed closer to queso fresco, but were very good indee...
For cost it dependes on a few factors, including whether the apartment is new or not. New apartments in Miraflores are going for anywhere between $1500 to $2500+ a square meter. Cost will be affected obviously by the quality of the fittings in the flat, size of the building, etc. The other thing to ...
I agree, Spizza is very good pizza. Not sure if it's exactly NYC, but it's good nonetheless. You get the classics, as well as gourmet twists, with ingredients like parma ham, arugula, basil, etc. Totally worth trying out
Correct, you don't just get a S/.50 discount. I think it might even be 50%. I love how Chi Chi complaints (trolls) about the price of fines... here's a thought - don't commit something that will result in a fine, and even if you earn "350 lucas" you'll be OK, cause you won't need to pay an...
Hey Philip, I too use only Tums, but have found there is a pink liquid in farmacias, similar to Pepto Bismol that also comes in chewable tablet form. Another one that really works well, but isn't cheap, it Aci-Tip. It comes in both liquid and tablets, but I find the liquid to be a whole lot better. ...
There used to be a good one in CLinica Golf in San Isidro. Last time I need my ankle in, I had physio done in Clinica San Borja, on Av, Guardia Civil. They were pretty good and reasonably priced too.
I accidentally bought the wrong ones for myself. I currently use the Fusion Pro Glide and accidentally bought the regular fusion ones. I can let you have them for the same price I paid. Let me know if you would like them!
I have some, which I brought from the US. I have some Saaz, some Cascade and a few others. I'm not using them right now, so we can discuss some trades. Where do you get your yeast from? Fancy meeting for a pint and discussing home brewing?

In Miraflores, on Av. Jose Galvez there is a little place called "El RIncon de Bigote". It's a seafood place, about a block before the Christmas Store, on the right hand side of the street (if you're walking the same way as the cars). It's tiny, and from 12:45pm onwards, there is a massive...
Brujas de Cachiche in Miraflores has a buffet. It's pricey (like 100 soles), includes 2 pisco sours per person and gaseosas. I believe they have (or at least had) 2x1 on Wednesdays.
I think it all depends on what they have in stock. Last time I ordered I was paying about S/.9 for an ESB - in Vivanda those are like 13 or 14, so not a bad discount.
You have a few options: 1. Vivanda and wong: Vivanda sells a lot more than Wong does, but prices are steep 2. Cañas y Tapas: a great bar in Miraflores, where you can get some Belgian beers on tap. They also sell Bavarian, a Peruvian micro brew which isn't too bad. I believe they also have the beer m...
I went to last nights show, and there were some issues with the final act (the russian swings)... they ended up having the clowns do some improv while a group huddled on one side... they finally decided to only use one of the swings. Apart from that, the show went well, although some people complain...
:) Right, here we go: http://www.cehuachipa.org.pe/ You can ride there. I am not sure how much it costs and what not, but that's a place where there is a lot of show jumping. Hey Silverback, no worries! I know you weren't having a pop :) Drugdealer was for chi chi, since he always says that's the on...
Try the Club Hipico Peruano, you don't have to be a member to gain access I don't think. I have a friend who does show jumping (NO, she isn't elite, or a drugdealer or whatever other people on here have said you need to be to afford to ride horses), and I'm pretty sure she went there. I'll email her...
It's called Jamon Virginia. My mum usually goes to wong in the Ovalo, where there is a separate Braedt module, and asks for it there. If they don;'t; have it, they will bring it in for her. I'm sure the Braedt shop by Vivanda has it though. Just make sure you ask for the jamon entero
No, not bone in I'm afraid, just a whole ham. I think they call it Virginia ham. My mum makes it with a recipe that includes coca-cola, brown sugar and cloves. We then roast it in the oven. Delicious! I think she buys the ham in wong - although I believe she asks the braedt person to bring it in. Th...
I would have to agree with San Antonio - wonderful salads! Il Dolce Capriccio, on Av. Dos de Mayo in Miraflores also make good salads. I also love the salad in Rincon Gaucho, a meat/BBQ restaurant on the road into Barranco from Miraflores. It's so good!!
