I've found that if I completely fill a Corny with 19L of beer, it's as flat as a fart, because as hard as I try, I can't get it to hold gas. I've shaken it, rolled it about, even played catch. If you like that thing, great.

The few local micro-breweries I know have little interest in "traditional" bitters. Everything is about craft beers now and "brown beer" has much less interest. There are few breweries making money. Yet Brewdog and others, are making pots of it. Certainly, the ones that haven't sold their soul...

Yet the Torygraph said that we're due blackouts (we're not) https://archive.ph/Xm87K

Frankly, Octopus Go doesn't have any way of seeing if you indeed have an EV. And it's 8p a unit between 12:30 and 05:30 Alternatively, if you don't eat at usual times, Agile Octopus is open to anyone. That's a proper interesting tariff. Another mate of mine has switched his main meal to...

I appear to be the only person in the world that actually enjoys sharing an office with my wife. We do have a spare room upstairs, mind where all my keyboard and music setup is. My radios are in the shed, which I can access remotely. Along with my brewing stuff. Desperately need a garage, or...

So much this. Facts are, Electricity is expensive at dinner time and cheap at 3am. Problem is, you can't stop generating at 3am so what do you do with it? Octopus give it away, but even then, what are consumers going to do with it at 3am? The answer is, charge your electric cars. Run the...

My regular brew is Dark Rock's Hazy Daze. I like having it as something I can experiment different yeasts with. The go-to is Verdant, but so far, I've also made it with WHC Mango Madness, Pineapple Passion, Saturated and Lalbrew Pomona.

All in one day?

I thought DPD didn't charge extortionate amounts? Malt Miller offer that as a shipping option

I agree. We don't know how much this business made. People are just pontificating and willy waving. If the average order was £150 and there was a 20% profit margin, that would be £330k. I'm sure there's definitely some profit in those numbers. I mean, not millionaire type numbers, but a healthy...

I was thinking about this as I had the same problem. I've stopped it by putting a bag in the bin. I find it makes it easier to sparge too. The holes are too big and finer particles fall through the holes and burn on the bottom. I've said this before, I'd really like a proper fine mesh bin for...

I'd like to add here that as a carnivore, I particularly enjoyed the "Beyond Meat" burgers. They're proper tasty. I was absolutely shocked! They're very "meaty"

Was yesterday now, but some kinda weird hybrid Belgian Witbier made up with the stuff I had leftover. Wheat, malt, more malt, caramalt, dextrose. With some Styrian Goldings and Mittelfruh. Coriander and orange peel (along with the oranges). Dark so it is.

I ordered the Yeast last Friday. Still hadn't arrived today and really needed to get these ingredients out of the way, so I told ChatGPT about all the yeasts I had in and weirdly, it suggested Verdant. So Verdant it is! It suggested putting some coriander and orange peel in (I threw the oranges...

Lots! My work give us our birthday off. My wife wasn't off, so I had a "me" day. I've been brewing and kegging beer all day, interspersed with a walk round the New Forest with the dog. Then went to the brewery where they had street food and a rather tasty new hoppy NZ IPA collab. I'm currently...

23 litres of some weird kind of hybrid Belgian witbier with completely the wrong yeast (because it didn't turn up in time). Smells amazing! Total 6,300 litres

No, that's a fair point. I did enjoy watching Tyson. But he could move too.

The last 5 years, you say? Heavyweight boxing has always been as dull as ditchwater. Bruno aside, my interest in boxing was brought up through the Benn/Eubank era. I always wonder if Eubank would have been a better boxer if the Watson thing hadn't happened. Later, I've followed folk like Hamed...

OK, I'm hopping back here. First things first, the Duvel clone was awful. Undrinkable. Oxidised and all sorts. I'll not bother again. Anyhow.... I had the following ingredients kicking about. • Pilsner Malt: 2.2 kg • Wheat Malt: 1.4 kg • Pale Malt: 1.5 kg • Wheat Flakes: 0.5 kg So I threw it...

I would have agreed until I discovered a proper kriek lambic beer. Everything about this beer is wrong. It uses naturally occurring yeast and black cherries. Yet the outcome is one of the most wonderful things.
