I'd love to try the classic gin!

I'd love to try my hand at a Milk Stout!

Brooklyn Defender, and Near Beer Co are the best of the lot for my money.

There's a lot more to it that just calling it an apprentice role though! They'll need to offer specific training (an apprenticeship as a Brewer usually lasts a minimum of 18 months!) , and importantly, give time for training or study during their working week (at least 20% of their normal...

Thanks for the full writeup, it is appreciated! On that same government website, under 'events with a fatal outcome' (which I think is where you've picked up the 1,403 number?) it says "The majority of these reports were in elderly people or people with underlying illness. Usage of the...

But that's just no better than making up something out of whole cloth, is it? You've just decided, arbitrarily and against available data, that there have been more deaths due to the vaccine, and fewer due to the virus. Out of utterly zero evidence, just a 'gut feeling'? Help me understand where...

Another way to view the city take-up is that the inner cities tend to skew to a younger population than suburbs and the country - many of which will only just be getting a chance to get their first dose.

Ohhh, I haven't tried these ones! I'd love to try Redneck - Double Indian Pale Ale

I had one like that but had to return it, the bottle would get completely stuck (not just a bit like they're meant to) and it took longer to remove each bottle from the capper than it would to use a hand one!

I didn't even know they collected parcels - as someone with a car I'd gladly have paid 72p to have it done! Maybe it's the lack of publication that they'll do it, rather than the price... I'm in a flat though - they'd need to either buzz for me to bring it down or come up and get it though, I...

This is so cool! What a brilliant little system!

Always like these kits! I'm in!

It depends what you're using it for of course - if you just want it to know when fermentation has stopped and you can then take a proper reading you don't need to calibrate it (just wait for the readings to normalise). I personally have calibrated mine (and it wasn't hard) but always take a...

I got a year of AppleTV+ with my iPad, but it really seems rubbish. I can't seem to find anything that's actually included in the package.

You might like to read 'A Beer in the Loire'! It's about a family who emigrated from London to France and started a brewing business. The book can be found easily online, and the author did a small writeup here. And finally - as another Scotsman - welcome aboard!

I have netflix and prime (but again, only because of the shipping). Netflix's content is getting better and better but mostly in the series space - their selection of films is fast and often rubbish. Prime has fewer good series but some of the ones they have are absolutely excellently made -...

edit: It's been a while since I checked the thread and didn't realise that the club I was mentioning was the latest mention anyway 😅

I have a little moleskine notebook from their 'passion' series specifically for beer. It has a nice beery cover Space to make notes on beers that you have tasted a section on homebrewing!

The ballon is just a handy way to capture the CO2 which comes off the process - there are no doubt other methods, but a mylar balloon is available to anyone who has a card/gift shop near them!

Making your home-brewing more sustainable The sustainability of our food and drink is an ever-present issue, and the brewing industry is no different. Brands as large as Guinness to the aptly-named Small Beer Co are finding ways to reduce their inputs, non-brewing outputs and even optimising on...
