More new battery technology coming to halve charging times. A 77KwH Polestar was charged from 10-80% in 10 minutes. The only difference to the stock Polestar was the battery, so you could see this appear in cars pretty quickly...

You'd increase/decrease the number of packs in line with batch size so you're pitching at around 0.5-1.0g per litre. Higher gravity wort (>1.060) might require 1.0-1.5g per litre.

1.5 years, although it contains microbes that have been reused continuously for around 100 years.

Nope. Both the corny keg posts and disconnects are self sealing, so when you disconnect nothing can get in. A t bar on the gas line will mean you have to have both kegs at the same pressure and carbonation as you only have one regulator. That means if you want to force carbonate a keg then you...

Yeah. The games seem to be policed by a handful of US cops that have no idea how to deal with 80,000 spicy South American football fans. I should add that the players are not shy about a tactical foul. When they happen there appears to be an attitude that “I’m going to get a yellow/red card...

You should all go and watch what goes on in Copa America. Unbelievably dirty, but so much of it is very subtle and off the ball. Loads of little digs on players off the ball that are 'accidental' or just hard to see. On Wednesday in the Uruguay v Colombia semi final Daniel Munoz got a second...

Ah right now I see what you need. You can get ball lock adapters for an S type coupler quite easily. I see a U coupler is a different thread diameter, but a quick google and... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115287476409

It's tournament football. Even the best teams need some luck. In 2016 Portugal got a real fortunate draw through the knockout stages, squeaked their way to wins in the R16 and QF, got dominated by France in the final. France somehow couldn't get the ball in the net and Portugal ran out winners...

Absolutely - in the previous Euros England lost in the final to a bang average Italian side that were the king sh**housers of the tournament.

Well done everyone in the team. The final’s going to be fun!

I'm not sure I can help with your existing cleaning bottle. An alternative is a 1 or 2 litre PET bottle and one of these: https://brewkegtap.co.uk/products/gas-free-ball-lock-line-cleaning-kit

I find Chinook at bit harsh used as a late/dry hop. A bit is ok, but too much is unpleasant. It does fade in time though. Are you drinking from a keg, or is it bottled? Sometimes the harsher hop matter drops out with a little time, so you'll either find that it's not picked up in the keg any...

If you don't have krausen yet you're probably ok to pour, although you'll have oxygen pick up even siphoning.

Maybe. Photovoltaic solar has the same issue - you’re making electricity, and then inefficiently converting it to hydrogen (and back), whereas you could just charge a battery. What could work is that there are solar hydrogen panels that cut out the electricity conversion and instead produce...

If you make hydrogen at home you're using the same electricity you could use to charge a battery to power a car directly. Actually you're going to use a lot more as by the time you've put it in a car and converted it to motion, it's less than half as efficient. It's the same issue if you mass...

Oh I certainly would, although I was thinking more that I could make do with something like a 22kWh Renault Zoe most of the time, but that would require 3 short stops or 2 longer ones. A 41kWh might actually work though.

I wish there was a way to be able to own a smaller efficient car, but borrow a rangier efficient one, but at the moment the economics don't work out. Most of the year I could use a car with <100 miles range. The problem though is there's 3-4 trips a year I do that are 210 miles each way. The...

Indeed, there’s a lot of FUD until people actually use the technology. I understand it. I do a few trips a year of around 200 miles each way. A 65kW battery should be able to do 300 miles, but I do worry about the what if of: - There’s a problem and I need to get a charge - But all the chargers...

Might have to give this a try, I could do with a nice wheat beer on. What's the level of sulphur production like?

Lube on the o-rings will help a lot. Kegs only need to be kept under pressure when full unless you want to test for leaks. Here's my favourite CO2 pressure chart: https://jollygoodbeer.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/JollyGoodBeer_PSI_Chart_for_CO2.pdf I have it pinned up next to my keezer.
