Thanks for the reply. In the end I bought a mangrove jacks blueberry cider kit and stuck to the instructions. Worked out OK, but not the happiest with it. Lager was very good and followed that with a coopers Irish stout kit with some choc malt added for flavour, that was also very good. Home...

To be honest, as long as it was still sealed from any air getting to it, I would bet it will bottle fine, juat may be slower to carbonate perhaps.

I have no idea, but may well be just worth finishing the process now and seeing if it makes you blind...

Thanks, I have to agree, I am getting behind the curve on my production, I need to ramp it up!! As for the cider, it has left me a little disappointed in the end product, but it's no worse than cheap supermarket fruity stuff and it's about 6%, I got the craft kit for a good price as the BBE was...

My son has the PS5 and it is a good bit of kit in terms of graphics and performance. I have actually started seeing deals for the PS5 under £400 so they are becoming a better proposition that's for sure!

I love these, some very pro designs! I used to play around with photoshop many moons ago, I need to take another look just for this reason. I do print my own labels, but I have been lazy and just used the free templates in Labelizer up to now and printed them on cheap paper from word lol...

Just as an update as this was a few months ago. The lager turned out great, not too strong a hop and had a very Eastern European Germanic style to it. It wasn't Stella, but had good flavour and head retention. Trouble is, it was so good, me and the other half drunk it all very quickly lol! I...

PS3 is the sweet spot for me, even now the game graphics are pretty good and the games have more depth to them. Hard to believe it's 17 years old and I still use it. I have a PS4 as well, maybe 10 years younger than the PS3 and not as heavily used, but the thing is, it's noisy as hell and...

Atari was my first console, but the first proper gaming computer was the Amiga 500 with a ram upgrade to make it a 1000, rocket fast lol! Went from that to the PS1, 2, 3 and 4. My son has the 5, which seems very capable, but I can't say i game much any more. When I do, I tend to use the PS3, no...

Out of curiosity, what SG kit have you selected? I only ask as I have been doing a bit of research around the SG kits and the platinum pinot grigio kit is said to come out at 10.5%. As a rule, 13 to 14% is usually red wine strength, commercial whites tend not to get above 12%, especially in...

Mine has a similar fruit kind of bite in the background, the only reason I went with Nova is the temp range. I have to say though, I do like the finished product, of the lager, stout and cider I have made, the lager has gone down the quickest. Will I use it again, possibly, but even though I am...

Welcome, not been doing it long myself and the helpful people in here have given some great advice, you are in good hands!

Welcome!

Now that is rather cool!! Granted, I am a bit shallow when it comes to things like this, but I do get your point from earlier 👍

Yesh, but you would look like a right bell wandering into the office carrying that thing lol! Sorry, nothing to do with climate change of course 😁

There is a lot of truth to that one! We are far from an independent country these days, sold out to cheaper exports and crushed our own industry.

This is a silly concept as well. Effectively this sees us all cram as close to the city centre as possible to cut down journeys. Truth is, this concept is used in 3rd world countries and was widely used in the UK until just over a century ago until personal transport allowed people to escape...

I have to agree with WFH being part of the solution, I work a hybrid pattern and the truth is, much of my job van be done from home, but not all of it. Many more are able to do the same but it's just not allowed any more.

Not sure about others, but I'm not playing at being concerned, I just don't agree with you opinion/solution. You see, this is half the problem. The activists seem to think if you don't agree with their solution then you are part of the problem. The trouble with the solutions you have in mind...

Ah yes there are some great routes for cycling around Swansea but much of the Cardiff routes tend not to go in straight lines but they are mainly flat when you get close enough. As you head out of Cardiff there are a lot of old rail track trails that make for good cycling but are not exactly...
