The only Stella I've had that's vaguely drinkable is the 4% one they do. Even there cider is god awful.

Looks good. I like the 25kg sack toggle.

Just tell her "the beer doesn't ask me those questions". I'm sure that'll sort the issue out right there and then......................

Excuse the drain pipe, This is my crop for this year. Once again, I've lost the little bits of cardboard telling me which is which, so it's going to be roulette when trying them. Also featured a plant in the middle left, that I have no idea what it is or how it got there. A random Tomato plant...

kveik lutra might be the solution.

Please god no, my people were not made for the sun.

Must make justifying the new brew kit abit easier though :D

Up the irons!

Finding a misses who likes good beers? Got any lottery numbers to share?

Back from the local, had a bit of grub and a pint or two of Moretti, going to make myself an Old Fashioned now. No driving tomorrow so I can enjoy a cocktail or two. Edit: Picture of posterity:

I'd happily take a bag of each.

Living in Ballygobackwards by anychance? ;)

So yeah as @Obadiah Boondoggle said, it might be worth getting in on this before prices go nuts. I'm in the Herts/Beds/Bucks area and am looking to get in on the next Bulk Buy order, Looking for people to join in so that we can have only one person has to go up to collect to save on fuel / or...

God that looks good!

Think I found it, it's a bit lighter and maybe a bit smaller?: Lakeland Granite Mortar & Pestle I think most stuff 10 years ago was better quality, even stuff from Lakeland, Matalan, etc. Seems waaaay more cheap and disposable these days. I've basically become this at 34:

Sorry for the old thread bump but where did you get that P+M from, I've been looking for a decent sized heavy weight one and can't find one from the amount of tat online these days.

That........makes far more sense considering I HAVE a cold smoker. You ever have it when the obvious thing to do seems completely oblivious to you :D?

My plan when I harvest my chilli crop this year is to do a 6 month ferment! I want to see just how funky I can go with the flavours. If I get a big enough batch of chillies I might try a couple with some Liquid smoke or Apricots.

I didn't add yeast :D It's lactofermented with a 3.5% brine. Most vegies have yeast on the surface, the lactic acid from the brine keeps the yeast at bay but on the surface of the water that's a different story!

Been going about 3 weeks now, I think I'm going to blend, boil and bottle it on Monday. Might add some xanthan gum to make it smoother. Hopefully the small chunk of Kahm yeast doesn't affect the flavour too much. Not sure if I'll reserve / use any of the brine water after I skim off the kahm yeast.
