I've just acquired a new fridge so I now have a spare. The trouble is that it's not a larder fridge, it's an old style one with an ice box. Could I still use this as a brew fridge?

Definitely leave it at home - you don't want to use the Glastonbury loos any more than is essential :shock:

I had a chest of drawers. One of the small drawers was Lego, the other Meccano. That and a couple of Action Men was my childhood :D

Is this the German version of Geuze ?

I'm reluctant to use much in the way of a cleaning product. I always muck out & rinse as soon as I empty a FV, DJ etc., and just sanitise/sterilise immediately before reuse.

I used to get spent hops from my (then) local microbrewery to add to the compost heap. I was initially a bit skeptical, but not after I saw the brewers vegetable garden. It was fantastic. He recommended rinsing them before adding to the compost heap. The sacks they came in were great for storing...

I was comparing sugar content of the various apple juices on the Sainsbury's web site earlier. Everything they sell is about 100g/litre, which using the calculator link above comes out at 5.9%

I put one into a bottle Lidl sherry. After about a month it's levely :D

+1 for the pizza stone. They make such a difference. You'll never go back to those baking trays with the holes in again!

graysalchemy The's a bit brash - much more Jamie Oliver than Hugh F-W. I was thinking more:

Looks OK to me

Brewbob That's only the plans isn't it?

I really fancy something like a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall style pizza oven. It would certainly beat a barbecue any day.

A lot of Adobe stuff is OK on Linux - what do you use?

Have you thought of Linux ?

Mrs M has christened my venture "Le Petit Hérisson Brasserie"

I just started a new demi with some yeast I saved from the first batch. It's up and running instantly :D I think I'm becoming obsessed. I need to see if I can study microbiology in Dorset :cheers:

Surely it has to be Dr. Hexter's Wedding Ale (although I prefer Dr. Hexter's Healer)

I went to school with a Theresa Green and 2 Jessie James's, played rugby with a John Thomas (well, quite a few really) and used to work with a Wayne Kerr. In knew a Richard Head at the pub, my uncle and cousin are big Dick and little Dick (both well over 6'). I really don't think parents should...
