I had a crate of very cheap mexican stuff which I understandably didn't
drink so it got left for a year in the garage after which it was very fruity. It works like a dream in slug-traps. Martin |

I always use the cheapest. I can't imagine treating these loathsome
creatures to any of the good stuff you have in Britain. Now that we're finally producing some good beer here in the states, my inclination to use the cheapest is even stronger. It can also be stale, flat, or otherwise unused or unsuitable for drinking beer of any make, as far as I know. "HaaRoy" wrote in message ... Is there any preffered beer ?

Better still, why not have a go at brewing your own? Buy a 5 gallon beer kit
and if it turns out okay, bottle and drink it yourself. If not keep it for the slugs and the snails. You'll have lots of fun brewing and they'll all die happy if it all turns out unfit for human consumption.

It did the job nicely. It got a bit tedious emptying the dish of slugs and refilling with dregs. Since I don't brew my own anymore its back to the blue pellets of death. -- Drakanthus.

A long deceased market gardener friend of ours told us that slugs were
attracted to sugar in plants-transplanted lettuces contained more sugar and this is why he preferred to thin out his lettuce seedlings rather than transplant. Slugs have definite potato preferences. King Edwards are a favorite with slugs and this may be related to higher sugar levels. Beer with added sugar, fermenting mixture or sweet stout seem to be good bets "Jon Green" wrote in message ...
