    Game changer

    I dishwash my bottles then rinse twice and nuke in oven. then a used once bottle cap sprayed in starsan. On bottling day I only need to rinse with cap on the outside incase of spider web and dip the uncapped end in starsan. .... for example..... (after pic of beer with no head retention issues.)...

    Brewing giant Heineken will reopen 62 pubs that were closed in recent years and invest £39m in refurbishing hundreds of sites across the UK.

    The only chain I rate thesedays apart from JDW (as you can get some good craft cans, punk ,leffe , erdinger etc) would be the head of steam. brewdog used to be awesomely great but are very hit and miss thesedays although you can usually get a vault city there for £6,000,000. Marsdons reasonable...

    Boon in major supermarkets

    Hi all, I'm looking to do a vault city style fruity sour and I usually use the bottom of a bottle of boon oude gueze. I have one bottle but normally use the dregs from two. Have any of you seen boon in any major supermarket? - I used to get it in waitrose but the nearest is 50 miles away.

    Electric cars.

    ah yes you should rotate them then. I could well get 30k+ from the rears. I would normally swap them front to back (as better to have more grip on rear wheels) but the tpms on the wheels would need to be reprogrammed. :(

    Electric cars.

    cool, how do current ev drivetrains compare with ICE cars? Chippys post about wheel damage is valid maybe they have could have them close to but not integrated in the wheel. In AUZ a spare tyre is mandatory that might not work well.

    Electric cars.

    assuming your tracking isn't out tyre wear would mainly be caused harsh braking and acceleration. The mass of the vehicle would also play a part as more kinetic energy to deal with under braking. I had 22k miles out of my front tyres.

    Electric cars.

    yup and on our cars if you do an emergency stop the hazards flash too

    Electric cars.

    The heavier the vehicle the more damage to the roads I suppose. why is that even a story. *SIGH* In general ev's are heavier than similar sized ice cars but not a heavy as a truck. So an obvious fact is almost as bad as a lie. like water is wet and ice is cold.
