barbequeueing recipes on the PDML ^^ I can imagine that this Ale adds a nice flavor to the meat, something i'll try for sure. I use to do my ribs rather similar (with little differences in the used spices) but at lower temperature (between 100-110°C, 4-6 hours) .. with this "low and slow" method they get very juicy and the meat really falls off the bone ..
