Honey
Anyone knows why honey crystalises in the bottle? After about a month, the honey crystalises in the bottle and I cant use it. Funny thing it does not happen all the times and I store it in the same place in the kitchen.
Discussions about different ingredients, where to procure them, etc.

On the shelf at the local Grocery Store, I had 5 brands to choose from. Stone-Buhr Shepherd's Grain All Purpose Unbleached is the one I purchased because it was the middle price. Has anyone else used this brand flour? It has been sold at stores in my area as long as I can remember (several decades:>)).

For several years now I've been making a nice, light bread with a combination of KA white whole wheat and Gold Medal Better for Bread white bread flour. My local Safeway has stopped carrying the white bread flour and I can't find any in Honolulu.
Can I replicate the effect of the high-gluten bread flour by mixing unbleached all-purpose flour with a little high-gluten flour from my health food co-op? I think the brand is Bob's.
I'd like to attempt the Jeffrey Hamelman's bagels which Lindy did a great job a few weeks ago. However, I can't seem to find diastatic malt powder in the supermarket here (in China) :(.
I'd really love to do the bagels, can anyone suggest an alternative that I can use? or if I exclude it, will it make a difference?

Publicity for the Asheville Artisan Bread day (back in March) mentioned a new group in North Carolina who were trying to source organic wheat for bread production.
Has anyone information about this?
I baked Dan Lepard's Whole Grain Rye today. It includes whole-rye sourdough starter (80%), whole rye berries (160%), and light rye flour (100%). Also, some salt and optional yeast, which I used because my starter was over-ripe. I am not sure how it came out because it has to sit for 48 hours before I cut into it, but my question is -- how would the loaf change if I substituted whole rye flour for light rye flour?
Thank you!

This forum is for all of you who, like me, live in Ireland and face daily challenges with the choice of flours. I hope to find other people in Ireland who share their experience and sources.
I would like to start by sharing my experience with Irish flours and will tell you what I can find in our supermarkets and health food stores. I need to add that I live in a little village in County Wicklow, namely Blessington. I don't live too far from Dublin and would be more than happy to head to the Capital to cover my needs.
The flours I've found so far:
