Hi all, been away too long, work, holiday and more work, well i'm sure most of you know the way it is. Any way managed to do this on 23.9.08 Wheat Beer. 2750g M.O. 1500g Wheat Malt 35g Munich Malt 10g Caramalt. 45g Hallertau 7% 90 Mins. Yeast WLP 300 25 Mins 44c 65 Mins 67c 15 mins...

They were advised to consider renting it out, agent saying because it's more difficult for 1st timers to buy they are renting. Trouble is you need to find another deposit as 110% mortages are a thing of the past. jb.

Steve, sorry if I sound thick, but it reads to me that it is aerated prior to the boil. Also What's a 'CPC QD' jb.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

When you dry hop you are adding hops to a liquid a low temperature, the point being you are not loosing any of the hop flavour to evaporation. By using boiling water surely some of the hop aroma will be lost. Also as the hops lay in the beer some of the more delicate flavours are released into...

Another thing to watch out for is the 'add ons' Bairstow thieves ooops, Eves said £490 for a H.I.P. Right up my street, we got it for £195, got 75% of the info. from the Land Registery. jb.

Aleman, aerate inline with co2 ? How do you do that? Do you do it after the fv is filled or whilst it's in the process of. I just use a large placcy spoon but was thinking of a paint paddle on a drill, or just put some sterilised beer line in the wort at say 2 psi. Am I miles away? :wha: jb.

My daughter, S-I-L and grandaughter live in an Barrets built, 3 bed detached house, 4 years old in Nth. Essex. It was valued at £245000 6 months ago and put on the market 3 months later. They had several lookers and no bids. 2 weeks ago they found what they were looking for and although...

Hi, Jasmine is fairly straight forward, all you need to consider is not allowing a build up of old wood. I've taken this info. from a R.H.S. book as I dont have any of these plants. It also says that late spring pruning will produce less flowers. Now Mrs. jb says,'why havn't we got any jasmine'...

I'll see your pics before I put mine up :oops: jb.

The only land available for building on around here is on the flood plane and they are going for it hell for leather (or they were 'til the crunch bit). Poor bastards who live in there. jb.

Should have read it all. Interesting about the birds, the 'big birds', crows,magpies,rooks and hooded crows still come and take the left overs from the garage roof, the only birds on the feeders are greenfinches and blue ****. We get the odd blackbird on the lawn but in the spring/summer when...

We're so lucky here, watch the news and weather reports and really feel for people that have suffered because of this unstable climate. Some people loose everything, live in caravans for the winter because of it, have to deal with insurance companies who seem to be obstructive rather than...

You're welcome. give me something to do tommorrow, it's supposed to be p*****g down all day :x If you've got the label attached it may have the group no. on it. That will help. jb.

Wez, really depends on the variety, whether they are evergreen or not and some varieties even have 2 flushes each year. You need to bear in mind that after pruning they will need time to re-establish themselves. For instance if it's a Montana variety flowering in spring, it would be hard pruned...
