Hi Chippy ... it's a great theory ... and certainly one that the media is desperate to peddle, along with their images taken from sand level looking across beaches (so that perspective is reduced and everyone on the beach look really close together) ... but I really don't think there's actually...

Hi @Joust and @jceg316 ... it's, not so much what isn't in apples that makes the cider different, as what is :?: ... weirdly, it probably is still the case that you have a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) infection in that yeast, but whereas the LAB will have been creating lactic acid to make your...

@terrym I wasn't suggesting you were influenced by advertising, I was explaining why @Steve D would want to put his lime in his bottle, and not in/on a glass like you suggested ... because it would get him one step closer to an idyllic lifestyle in paradise, where no one drinks from a glass...

... influenced by advertising (link) :confused.: Cheers, PhilB

... well sort of, yes ... but look what just happened, a consortium with the financial backing of one of (if not the) richest of oil rich states in the world, just failed to get past the Premier League's "fit and proper persons" rule :?: And to be clear, I wasn't talking only about Man City...

... I see where you're going with that, but I don't think we can assume the full consequences of the Man City Vs UEFA case at CaS are all understood, just yet :?: For example ... ... this suggests that the Premier League have come to the conclusion that it's safer to NOT make a decision on the...

... I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me :laugh8: Cheers, PhilB

... I'm not a supporting member and can't see the custom title field. ... as it happens, I'm currently spending around £3 a month on All Bran ... keeps me Regular athumb.. Cheers, PhilB

... hmmm, but with oven gloves between your knees and the cube, you'll only singe the hairs of your inner calves and thighs wink... Cheers, PhilB

Hi @Saisonator The "best" sellers of such items change too often to really get useful advice online .. you're probably best just scouring the fleabay for "Jerry Can" and making sure whatever you buy is food safe and heat resilient (probably HDPE) ... a jerry can, that you drop your wort in at...

... isn't that because you're always going to have differences of opinion when it's a matter of taste? ... personally, I dislike the dry aftertaste that Notty leaves in beers fermented with it, but lots of brewers seem to think it's the only yeast they ever need to use :?: There's lots of...

Hi ... you've also not said whether you're force carbonating or whether you've primed and will be running another (carbonating) fermentation as part of conditioning ... if the latter, getting the packaged beer somewhere warm during that second fermentation should reduce/solve the butteryness...

Hi DDHIPA, and welcome to the forum athumb.. ... for a "newbie" it looks to me like you're already pretty good at answering your own questions wink... ... but yes, making sure you ferment at a warm enough temperature and performing a diacetyl rest at end of fermentation should help with those...

Hi phildo ... while I agree that it'll be unlikely to make a significant difference ... after all when a recipe says "add a $hitload of hops, then another $hitload, then another $hitload ... " then the differences around $shitload +/- 10% are likely to be nominal wink... ... but a...

... nor me, I've never checked a mash pH ... I've also never measured a gravity of any wort until it was in a FV (either about to have yeast pitched or after pitching to check on fermentation progress, never during brewday before "about to pitch" stage) :confused.: Cheers, PhilB

. I said that ... I made no comment on whether or not I feel well off old people deserve their standard of living, what I was commenting on was the fact that there are lots of very well off old people who are much better off than lots of others in society, yet still pensioners get given all...

... it's interesting how the debate here has focussed on the "value for money" and "taxation vs payment for services" arguments, and the statement in the quote above is allowed to go unquestioned :?: When they made the changes around "means testing" the winter fuel allowance, the discussions...

Hi Mick ... I don't think they're the same ... I think they've just updated the photos for all their products on their website, re-using the pictures of the Pint365 for ALL their handpulls, even the Aston (link) appears Pint365 branded :?: Hi kelper ... the "will accept beer from a...

... looks interesting, they don't give a lot of information about what their "Eco Cylinder" is or why you would want one in your beer engine, but the "BEER LASTS FOR UP TO 28 DAYS" claim might suggest they've done something to "preserve" the beer while it's in the cylinder, which may well mean...

Hi Galena ... Yes ... if fermentation was continuing, then there would be less sugar in the sample and the refractometer reading would be lower ... not as low as it would have been if you'd somehow removed sugar without it turning into more alcohol, but still lower ... stable readings over that...
