No.1 son graduated with his BSc from Heriot Watt, back in 2006! As a “Mature Student” (just plain lazy when he was younger) he had a blast, so my only advice is “Enjoy the experience!” athumb..

I doubt if anyone will come forward and admit that they went! :D PS I didn’t go to it! Honestly! :cool:

At last! We get an admission from @foxy that maybe there is something terribly wrong with the way this Government is running something! In this case it’s the NHS! Foxy states: “… it is the same surgeons carrying out the procedures …” I agree wholeheartedly, but the reason is THE GOVERNMENT...

Er … how come you have “Wordle 422” at 2203 UK time? :?:

Thanks for the replies! It’s now over three years since I had the cancer removed and a lot of things have happened in those three years: The scar healed and I’m as pretty as ever! :coat: I had a new left hip fitted and then broke my thigh between the new hip and a previous new knee! (Called...

Okay, so you’ve discovered a problem, but even by adding furnace bricks you didn’t find a solution! Now, here’s the difficult bit “A workman NEVER blames his tools!” I suggest that you stop feeling sorry for yourself and negative about the bit of kit. Please spend more time fiddling about...

New kit, new experience so you can’t expect perfection - yet! Try a few “blind” bakes, then start with a thin olive oil/garlic and cheese topping. You’ll soon get the hang of it! Enjoy! (Even the “fails”!) athumb..

Only tip is to make sure that there is adequate circulation within the oven!

I used a SS Schrader valve in the KK lid and connected up with a highly (*) modified clip-on bike pump connector! (*) The clip-on end was sawn off. A flexible plastic tube was centred in the open end by a lump of plastic-metal. The other end of the flexible tube went to the Sodastream...

Er … no! But on the positive side, I renew the “O” ring if is shows any sign of deterioration: and I only store and deliver a brew at +/-5psi. As an ex-HSE Manager I know that this is way below national standards but a pukka test-rig would probably cost more than a new keg! BTW, I once stood...

I think it is mildly antiseptic (but I may be wrong) and versus plastic: It’s tougher by far. It’s arrow straight. I have cut a “V” cut into the end to ensure that nothing is wasted. I have an “inching filter” on the business end of the copper tube. Before use I give everything a spray of...

Er … the fishermen of Britain virtually cleaned out the seas around the UK and started on the fish in Iceland. The UK Government then complained when Iceland put up a 12 mile limit. The so called “Cod Wars” were the result and now 12 miles is recognised as the territorial limit of a countries...

I got fed up of kinking the hose in my syphon so I fitted a right-angle to the top of the copper pipe I use. You could do exactly the same with the bung at the top of the FV. This is the type of copper tube being used for a totally different reason - but it will fit in an ordinary bung! PS...

I use a Hop Tea made to this recipe: I add the Hop Tea (along with any sugar I may be adding) after fermentation is finished. I generally rack the brew into 2 x 10 litre kegs and add sugar for pre-carbonation to reduce CO2 consumption. A few of the Kits I brew have hops included for Dry...

Got to the quote and thought “This should be in a different thread!” and was pleasantly surprised that it went so well! 100% agree that we’re never too old to learn something new! Well done! clapaclapa

For many years, I’ve used a 1 litre bottle with about 50mm of a 50/50 mixture of Thin Bleach & Water. The bottle fits into the curvature of the FV and 1 litre gives plenty of space for a blow-off if required. The mixture doesn’t foam and if I place the blow-off tube at the bottom of the 50mm...
