    Mangrove Jacks Hard Seltzer

    Could you add some fruit tea bags to your remaining kits? You'll lose the clarity but gain flavour.

    Mangrove Jacks Hard Seltzer

    I don't see the point in seltzers. I've tried a few and they've been poor. Just seems like a cheap cash grab from breweries. Isn't a cheaper/better low calorie drink achieved with sparkling flavoured water and vodka/gin? Nibber if you're after a cider try one of the turbo cider threads. Cheap...

    Covid Passports

    I agree with what you're saying. I just can't see how a hospitality company could operate at 60% capacity without any additional charges. Even if 60% is the low end, enforcing passports and ensuring their staff are either covered or protected is an additional cost I can't see them being able to...

    Apologies for the essay.

    Covid Passports

    Last night 8ish I went to a local shop, formally Nisa extra now another national brand but you get the idea of about tennis court size. About 20-25 people in there, age range probably 12-50. Only 4 wearing masks, dispute the till being by the entrance, shop keeper didn't challenge anyone about...

    Covid Passports

    You can't protect against everything. It's like taking an umbrella out with you and complaining your shoes get wet when it does actually rain. Life is for living, whether it's 80 mins or 80 years. All I'm saying is you can't expect a hospitality business to police stupidity. There's always...

    Covid Passports

    It's completely unmanageable from start to finish, the more I think about it the more ludicrous it is. Hundreds of people are partying in parks, beaches, beauty stops and police cant stop them. How would a couple of door staff stop a group of 8-10? Call the police. How many pubs can the...

    Covid Passports

    None of the vaccines are 100% effective, even if you forced everyone on the UK to have a vaccine it wouldn't rid covid.

    Covid Passports

    For clarity I am 36 with at risk older family members, have had covid and still intend to have the vaccine as soon as I am offered it.

    Covid Passports

    It is completely unworkable for even a few reasons I can think of off the top of my head. You can't force people to be vaccinated. People have lots of reasons not to want to be vaccinated. You may think it's selfish or irresponsible but people have the right to choose. Some religions forbid...

    Mojito Kilju

    Is one lime really enough for a gallon? Keep us posted, seems a better route than the seltzers.

    Strawberry impulse madness! What to do now?

    I'm sure there's a fatal attraction gif somewhere crying out to be used!

    Netflix Series.

    Also "Dead to me"

    Netflix Series.

    Think you need to watch Good Girls, my better half smashed through it and raves about the series on your list aside from altered carbon. She's watched bridgerton at least 3 times. The few episodes if Good Girls I caught were very good. Quality three main actors. Most episodes seem to end on a...

    Netflix Series.

    May I refer you to HotUKDeals, if you're not familiar with them, it's a deal/bargain posting website. Eg Asda selling hobnobs for 50p till Sunday. There is a thread that discusses the merits and methods of signing upto subscriptions through other countries. It's not illegal, it is against their...

    How to make Turbo Cider.

    I'd suggest sweetener. If it's bone dry you notice the other flavours more. There was an article on the BBC the other week about a top winemaker moaning that cheaper producers are using sugar and sweeteners to mask crap wine.

    Pressure barrel priming.......under pressure

    All this above & open up your PB and bottle at room temperature. Co2 is less likely to stay in the beer at a higher temp. Therefore the amount of existing co2 in the beer will be lower.

    Large PET bottle source?

    Supermarket brand ginger beer is in 2lt brown pet bottles. Sainsbury's is about 80p and I'm pretty sure tescos is cheaper and fiercer.

    Possibly dumb question: Reusing yeast

    Bag in a Box - Any good?

    Forgive me ignorance but wouldn't a colapsable water carrier do a better job? There loads of different ones and they'd expand and contract with carbonation and use.
