Can I just say thanks, it's been really interesting following your (hate the word but...) journey through the world of EVs, one can't beat experience gained with real £££ at stake. Oooh, I'd not seen that. I'd view that as part of their current attempts to please the financial markets by...

Not really. Musk likes to pretend that Tesla are a technology company that happens to make cars, but if you look at the accounts they really aren't, their spending on R&D was way less than their competitors. Which might explain why it's taking them so long to introduce new models, get...

Idaho7 really sings in the whirlpool as it's full of "survivables" - see this article for more details, although YCH have pulled the original images linked in there : https://scottjanish.com/survivables-unpacking-hot-side-hop-flavor/ But it is still available here ...

I wouldn't use oats personally. Yes foam relies on protein, but oats also bring a lot of oil that kills head - and personally I'm quite sensitive to the flavour of them too. That's not to say they can't help in small amounts, but they would be a long way down the list of things to try. It's...

Slight exaggeration, but a reminder that certain newspapers are quite relaxed about making up propaganda against electric cars : https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/news/daily-mail-admits-making-up-story-about-electric-vehicles-causing-potholes/

Mostly it's because charging is not how Tesla make their money - to start with their chargers were free, because what they were mostly interested in was selling more cars. So they price their charging attractively because it helps them sells cars which are worth much more to them, in the same...

I don't know, it depends on your personal taste and the strength of the ginger, but a few grams? Ideally I would test it just in a glassful just to get it roughly right. It's easy to do too much ginger and chilli, a little can be great but too much can be terrible - and it does depend on your...

I'd agree, it's not really one of those flavours you can do much about, and even if I was to polish the turd, I probably wouldn't use hops, they're not going to help much. My first instinct would be to just bin it - life's too short to drink bad beer - but just as an experiment to test my...

Should have had this as the soundtrack :

Here's an interesting demonstration in the real world of what a difference a decent installation and modern technology makes. Guy in a 6-bed house with bits dating back to the 19th century, was paying £1,970/year to heat with a gas boiler. Got a heat pump 5 years ago that was installed badly and...

Insurance tends to be in line with the "quick" versions of the equivalent ICE car but less than the daft ones - for instance the Electric Mini is insurance groups 20-26, which is the same as the Cooper (20) and Cooper S (26) but less than the JCW (27-30). The electric Fiat 500 is 15-17, whereas...

Do you think those 150p/litre fossil fuels will still be around? Beer in a pub is about 7x dearer than petrol.... What matters is not the absolute price, but the price relative to fossil fuels. And as it happens, the big discussion at the moment is about removing all the green tariffs off...

I meant "fossil" as in fossil fuel, I was talking about the comparison between fossil fuel and electric... So much for worrying about the high depreciation because nobody wants to buy second-hand EVs!! ;) I think the depreciation is going to ease off, partly for this reason, that the kind of...

Sounds plausible. So your 15,000miles/year is 4,213kWh, which at 9p/kWh is £379 not £1349. So that gets you into the roughly £100/month saving area that you were looking for. And if you are going to start adding in what the tax might be in 2025 then you can use electricity prices from a new...

That looks like you're assuming 1 mile per kWh - in which case your 64kWh Kona would have a range of just 64 miles. Modern cars are getting close to 4 miles/kWh, in which case you 15,000miles translates to 3,750kWh per year which at 9p/kWh is £338. I think you have to be realistic about the...

Mostly, but it depends a bit on how much it's been shaken up before then, OP is interested in when it's safe, not trying to cut a few hours off the process.

There's a Tesla station at the tunnel terminal, but the ferry people really want to get you on your way, they don't like people hanging around. There are chargers in Dover, like at the BP station opposite the cruise terminal, just not Tesla ones. A friend who lives in France often stops at the...

From the point of view of hops - it's an issue once the hops are in, but particularly once you're releasing thiols into the wort - so mostly dry hopping. That's why the commercial practice these days is generally to cool crash to 10-15C to drop the yeast to the bottom of the conical, then dry...

Something to watch out for after this warm winter is spring dormancy, where they germinate but when they reach the surface realise that the day length is all wrong and so shut down for a few weeks and end up a few weeks behind which then affects total yields. Bramling Cross is notorious for it...
