If only you knew! asad.

Sorry but: No-one said The ***** was smart but she was educated; and as a Tory she wanted to Privatise every publicly owned company. To hold a “Golden Share” when your sole desire is to Privatise a Nationalised industry would like being “nearly a virgin”! (I think The ***** was made to do it a...

Have you seen the nut-jobs that sing his praises? Personally, I wouldn’t turn my back on any of them, but he’s their favourite and to be honest they deserve each other! clapa

Problems with the above are: EDF is/was (*) 84% owned by the French Government. Was sold by the French Government who are now trying to re-purchase what they sold. (**) The ***** never told the UK voting public that Privatising UK industries meant that they could be bought by Nationalised...

Just hoping that no-one hits it like they did with the Erskine Bridge in 1966 … … and no-one gets the urge to push me off the bridge like a man did to his daughter last month! Here’s hoping the sale goes ahead! 🙏

All except the bottled gas! :D I let SWMBO put the Freezer on the same circuit as the Brew Fridge; and I’m still on a Camping Gaz bottle I removed from the caravan when I sold it nearly a year ago! One of the joys of Kit Brewing is that most of the heating requirement has already been done...

Going over the Loire Bridge at St Nazaire on the 22nd to sign a bit of land over. Inshallah! Great joke from Matt on the front page of The Telegraph today. Two Eskimo’s stood outside an igloo as the snow falls around them! One is saying: “They say that in the UK people have 27 different...

Just got the seal of approval for the Wholemeal Tangzhong Bread that I made a couple of days ago! (See Posts #445 & #450) athumb.. It’s still “squishy”, still fresh and tastes just fine; and after only two days it’s nearly finished! (French friend eating a couple of slices for breakfast!) :D...

Got to have been fast asleep ‘cos no skid marks on the road. OR Total brake failure and the skid marks are confined to the driver’s underwear! :D

Didn’t “Brew” anything but I got given this bottle of Experimental IPA. With an ABV of 43% I would love to brew something very similar! athumb.. athumb.. BTW, I may be too inebriated to write it up, but so far it looks and tastes superb!

I think the fan blowing cold air across the top of the loaf caused the collapse; it’s happened before so usually I cheat a bit and let the temperature get above ambient before putting the bread in. Never tried the bottom (bigger) oven though! It may be a lot better. athumb..

Sorry didn’t realise I was spoiling it!! aheadbutt

A new concoction of your own making, brew put in an environment for only 10 days with no temperature control and then you start messing with it and adding yeast? Sorry but: The original syrup was probably enough. There would have been plenty of yeast available no matter how “clear” it looked...

I worked with pressurised gas so I can appreciate your concerns! Personally, I’m more worried that the CO2 in a commercial bottle isn’t the same Food Grade CO2 contained in a Sodastream bottle. That and the ease of finding refills is the reason I’ve stuck with Sodastream for so long. athumb..

I even forgot what I suggested, but I well remember SWMBO’s comment … “We’ve got enough gadgets already!” … so I make do with a long knife! Me? Under the thumb? asad. Or maybe that’s why I drink! :beer1: Good luck with the bake! athumb..

Maybe it’s time to “think outside the box”? The easiest way would be to purchase a “MAGT CO2 Refill Adapter, G1/2 CO2 Cylinder Refill Adapter with Hose, CO2 Refill Connector for Filling Sodastream Tank (36 inches without pressure gauge).” These are £38.59 from Amazon. I am presuming that you...

Apart from the sheer boredom of washing, sanitising, priming and filling them (*) “bottle bombs” were just one of the reasons I went to stainless-steel kegs! I still pre-carbonate (to reduce CO2 consumption) but during the carbonation and conditioning stages they are protected with a PSV that...
