I am coming to the view that we got to the semi's and finals of the last tournaments in spite of Southgate. England are stinking out what has been a great tournament so far.

Not a penalty for me. Armstrong has handfuls of the guy's shirt and is pulling him into the challenge. 50/50 battle in my view. I am surprised it wasn't checked by VAR though.

I decided that the glass shelf in my brew fridge would be strong enough to hold a fermenter with 23 litres of wort in it. It wasn't. I also managed to melt my scales. I put them on the cooker hob and somehow managed to accidentally turn the ring on beneath them. It took me ages to figure out...

This is it for me. I don't want football to become like other sports. Sadly, it's going that way and the genie is out of the bottle. You can see it week after week with hordes of "fans" leaving the ground early because their team is taking a shoeing and they don't like it. VAR just adds to the...

Scrap it. It's changed football for the worse.

I was more than happy to walk away. The company I left was so far removed from the one that I joined to be almost unrecognisable. Even how much enjoyment you were (supposed to be) having at work was getting measured.

Interesting read. At 55 I just took redundancy from a senior leadership role. Haven't started to look for a new job yet but I am also wondering what the experience of the job search will be at my age. I was with the same company for over 25 years and never looked for anything else. I am looking...

My go to shops are Malt Miller, The Home Brew Shop and Crossmyloof for grains, yeast and hops. I also use MM and Brewkegtap for the odd occasion I need equipment. All of these provide excellent customer service in my opinion.

A Pale Ale was today's brew. 91% Maris Otter, 5% Amber Malt, 3% Aromatic Malt, 1% Crystal Light. Bittered with Warrior and using Centennial, Columbus, Amarillo and Simcoe for flavour/aroma. SG 1.054. Fermenting with US-05. Tasted good going into the FV.

Not currently but might experiment with it in the future.

I quite like motueka. I usually use it in combination with Pacific Jade in a summer golden ale.

I think it was the sweetness that I didn't particularly like. I have some left and I think a hazy might be the way to go with it.

I'm quite surprised at the negative sabro vibes. I love it in a single hop pale ale. Not saying I wouldn't use it again, but I recently brewed with Superdelic and was quite disappointed with the results.

You have tempted me to get my 3v system out the shed, clean it up and have a brew day with it. The Brewzilla can take a break for a bit. Thanks.

Agree with Nicks90 recommendation. No need to go buying stuff at this point. For me, the key thing to do is the d rest. So, put it somewhere warm for a few days (18-20 C ish).

I would think about a D rest and cold crash before you keg. Are you able to make a closed transfer to keg? I have never felt the need to pressurise the keg before lagering.

My process for lagers is to ferment for a couple of weeks, raise the temperature for d rest and then take off the trub (I do use a keg). I leave it outside for 4-6 weeks to lager.

Can you use ubidots? It works fine for android.

Why? For convenience. I don't need to faff about to take a sample to measure gravity on a hydrometer as I can see perfectly well how the fermentation is progressing by looking at my phone. For the record - it works just fine for me.

I get to spend a day in my own head (which is good for my mental health) and about 6 weeks later I have a beer that I want to drink.
