    Can someone settle a grammatical argument?

    Jeez Louise.. A majority is the greater part, or more than half, of the total. It is a subset of a set consisting of more than half of the set's elements. Look at the OR element people. Greater part OR (that's OR!!!!) More thank half. In this case 50% of people have blue eyes, the rest have...

    Can someone settle a grammatical argument?

    50% have blue eyes. 50% have a mix of brown, green, red. So.. Blue 50% Brown 30% the rest 20% Majority = blue. The dictionary definition of most is a majority. The majority in this case is blue eyes. Most people in the UK have blue eyes, they hold the majority...

    So what else do home brewers do?

    I fix old/broken electronics, like mixers, keyboards, and stage lighting kit at component level, not just swapping boards.

    Electricity to 4500 watt element

    Apart from ensuring adequate circuit protection, and conforming with BS7671 (ie, the wiring regulations) I don't see why not. Must add at this point, the regs have been written from experience of making safe circuits with adequate protection to save your life, not as a hindrance, and as an...

    Electricity to 4500 watt element

    No, it will not. A good (MK) socket is made to supply 13A in total. The 20A heat test should not be confused as proof that the socket is designed to carry more than 13A for a prolonged period. Your 4.5Kw element will boil wort for an hour, plus heating time. Either you need a 32A Cee form, or...

    Real Mans Shaving - Double Edge Razors

    Black and Decker? Luxury, sheer luxury. We had to put up with our old dad, holding us down by our ears with hid 'obnail boots, sand was used as shaving foam, with a rusty ******* file for starters, then wire wool with scrapings from a welders bench. All that after 26 hours down t'pits. Try...

    How easy can making AG beer be?...seriously easy !

    Hi gang, I know I said I was up for this, but I just landed a new job, and don't have time to do anything at the moment. Sorry, hope to be able to do *something* in the future, but not at the moment.

    Real Mans Shaving - Double Edge Razors

    I got the Taylors sandalwood shaving cream for Christmas,it is lovely! But,be warned,it does not last very long. I also found that changing to a different soap (I use woolfat) changed the way the blades felt on my skin. I have never found it necessary to go against the grain. Simply with, then...

    Real Mans Shaving - Double Edge Razors

    the number of replies to this is astounding. If we did a venn diagram of men who home brew, and use double edge razors, I wonder what the crossover would be? I have used double edges for about 2 1/2 years, I cannot use an electric shaver, I get burning skin, and a really horrible rash with...

    Brewing with water from the bath!

    Perhaps it was just how my Dad explained it to me as a kid, so.... Bit of a brain dump... We were told when on holiday in foreign countries to never drink from the taps, perhaps this was my parents being over protective, but.... Legionella (as another poster said above) do not grow in cold...

    Brewing with water from the bath!

    Legionaires disease grows in still water so its not just dead pigeons or mouse **** you have to beware of by drinking water from a tank. Test your bathroom tap as others have suggested, by turning your stop cock off. Tanked water may be ok for bathing, and rinsing after brushing your teeth...

    heating element

    Hi Mark, I guess you've tried cleaning the element, I know your a mod, and therefore know what your doing, but sometimes the obvious is not clear when your up to your **** in wort. Or, all things being equal, have you looked at the power consumption of your house when you brew, or the supply...

    Adding tap to fermenting bucket

    If your not happy with DIY, then you can buy an FV with tap from Amazon, amongst others. Beware of trying to fill bottles from a standard barrel tap though! Mine had a spout about the same size as my bottles, and was impossible to fill without losing loads of lovely booze! I ended up siphoning...

    stc 1000 probes

    I hadn't looked at the prices TBH, are the stainless thermowell's also overpriced? I was looking for some, but prices are hard to find on t'interwebs, most places only quote on big orders... Cheers, Mike
