Just over a week ago the night temperature reached a giddy 4C and I was camping, bloody freezing!

Use 'breathable' paint otherwise any moisture that gets trapped cannot escape and that causes it to flake. Use good quality paint if you decide to go ahead

I would vote 'Green' if we had a fairer voting system

The language of nightmares!

In for Nevada please

I read somewhere there is an online bike fit app, personally being a leisure cyclist I now use half toeclips, these allow you to reposition your foot as you wish but still provide the security to stop the foot slipping ( at a very small cost to efficiency.) When I had sore knees I upped my...

Re cap and put somewhere warm - If the beer returns to being a bit lively then you may have undercarbonated I had the same problem camping at the weekend - too cold! ( (screwtop). I have used swing tops times without any problem, I do not remove seal when sterilising - just fill bottle with...

I visited Bass when they brewed the union way. The guide empathised 'the distinctive flavour obtained by conditioning in the Russian oak casks' (It was good then) I revisited when it was 'brewed' in the modern tower brewery where the 'brewer' sat infront of a control panel pressing buttons. 'Its...

Marbles!! Nicked the lads marbles ( well hes not interested in them being 32) Easy to sterilise and handle. But anything of good stainless steel would probably do - not sure about metallic off tastes though.

I will say it again - Drinking year old beer in PET bottles not a problem for me. I do not buy PET bottles, I reuse other peoples. I have used spring water bottles presumably not treated to eliminate oxygen ingress. I have mentioned before bottles store at a higher pressure inside than out, I do...

I am afraid to say its water under bridge. Too much money spent on this case when similar cases were forgotten years ago. Time to move on and remove our police's funding and their holiday home

I wrote war an peace to had my tuppence worth but its all been said. Suffice to say' There is a war between those who say there is a war and those that say there is not one'! Thanks for not including it on the Cyclist thread Chippy- that's a happy place!

This question I have asked - without a real plausible answer. My gut feeling is its a case of not disturbing the head of the beer to create too much turbulence, but even then the Co2 should reseal the top of the beer. The other day I was thirsty working in the greenhouse, a 2 ltr bottle with...

What time do you want me round?

You might as well have bought a good high end kit in the first place and then you could be sure the balance would be right

Don't know if kits are included but if they are - No! TR Cwtch is a darkish brew and takes an age to clear. Ritchies Summer Glory is near clear as it is bottled

'Of course no selling is allowed either by cash payment,or by exchange of goods.' Did not know that. During the lockdown, when permissible I visited a friend and took a bottle or two of brew to share. He, a very competent gardener, started giving me a bag of produce and a a box of eggs and that...

I prefer the hills on a windy day, at least there is some respite from the toil

Have really enjoyed this thread so far - Thanks to one and all!
