    Octopus energy

    Use 3am generation to pump water back up to the lake like they do in Scotland. However here in England I’ve got solar power and a battery and I sell excess electricity back to Octopus but I would like cheap electricity to refill the battery during the night.

    Didn’t brew but transferred 15 litres of Double Maxim Brown Ale to the bottling bucket. Will leave it for 2 days then bottle.

    Is it only on Amazon (and EBay?) until the stocks are consumed?

    Kits I Wouldn't Brew Again

    The only kits I’ve brewed in the last 5 years have been Range Stout kits which are average but drinkable because the bitterness overpowers are twang. I have given up on these my stout is exponentially better.

    Crossmyloof

    They recently moved from Crossmyloof to another part of Glasgow because I assume their volume of orders increased. I agree the workload vs margins are going to unsustainable long term.

    NHS bosses want chippy to sell fruit and veg

    Fish can be bought at reasonable prices at market such as Bolton or Earlestown (St. Helens) where I bought Hake, Dover Soul and Monkfish all for £14. However here in Brixham which is the largest fishing port by volume in England it is very dear.

    The version they brew for Aldi is excellent and a bargain at £1.79.

    NHS bosses want chippy to sell fruit and veg

    Chips and mushy peas are part of your 5 a day. At least chips have potato in them unlike those awful fries.

    With CML closing I wonder what will happen to their yeasts which are obviously repackaged? I wonder if we will ever find out who the original yeast manufacturer is. Some of their yeasts appear to be unique such as Pia, Hog-Norsk, Beoir, and Atlantic.

    That’s a real shame I use them for 90% of my yeast and hop orders. I mirror what Gonzo says. I’m going to put in a big order for yeast as it has a long shelf life.

    What did you brew today?

    Finished it couple of hours ago I was aiming at an OG of 1046 and 4.7% but it came out at 1049 and an anticipated 4.9%. I will let you know in about 4-6 weeks what it’s like, but I’ve never tasted the original.
