    Platform scales

    Yes, it can be disabled, but lord knows how. I've never needed to.

    Platform scales

    They have an auto-off setting. Have you checked that?

    Platform scales

    I recently bought some similar for posting eBay stuff, and I'm very pleased with them. ABCON do many versions of this scale in the same housing, to cope with differing weights and accuracies. Would deffo recommend.

    I don't watch T.V.

    Life is too short for telly. I only ever watch F1, and that's on PC.

    New here, Hi everyone

    A big, warm welcome to you @Lowrider I was in a similar position 6 months ago, just dipping my toe back into the water after a break of nearly 40 years. Amazing how quickly it all comes back and how quickly the process (inluding bottling) becomes routine once you get your workflow right. The...

    Bottling time tips and tricks.

    Had 50 500ml glass bottles on mine yesterday and it was solid as a rock!

    Bishops Finger - yuck!

    St Dunstans St, betwixt Canterbury West station and the Westgate Towers. I've not been there for a few years - very popular with students. https://www.bishopsfingercanterbury.co.uk/

    Bishops Finger - yuck!

    The Bishop's Finger pub in Canterbury was always better known informally as The Nun's Delight.

    Weather Station

    Looks good, although I'm struggling to work out how it can measure wind speed and direction without a conventional anemometer / wind vane.

    Weather Station

    Vantage Vue, with the integrated sensor system. Also got a data logger which plugs into the back of the console, which 'releases' the data to the outside world.

    Weather Station

    I've been running a Davis Vantage Vue for about 5 years. After an initial 10 minutes set up, it hasn't missed a beat since. Worthwhile squeezing your budget a little higher if you can, or looking for a decent used example.

    Fermenting fridge - is this OK?

    Funny old stuff, glass. Last week, I dropped a bottle of Merkin's Olde Muddy and Murky out of the fridge, which then proceeded a series of manoeuvres on the granite floor that Barnes Wallis would have been proud of. Left it outside to settle overnight fearing the worst, and next day enjoyed...

    Noob question about FG

    This was my first brew a couple of months ago - like yours, mine stuck at 1.014, which I managed to tease down to 1.012 with a bit of time and a pinch of yeast nutrient. Really enjoyable beer, although definitely improves over time. Currently exploring a few other kits, but I will certainly be...

    Hello

    Pretty reasonably priced for a day out - runs from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard, with about half a dozen stations in between. They normally have a few special events on during the year (including a beer festival), but everything has been cancelled this year because of COVID. It's a very friendly...

    Hello

    A beautiful part of the country. I'm due to visit my son next month in Taunton - shame the WSR isn't running as I was hoping for a bit of steam and a gentle beer fueled wander round Watchet.

    New Fermenter Fridge - Currys

    I have the same, which works really well. Only issue I had was a poor seal after a few weeks of use. I had used too much brute force and ignorance (I have plenty of both) in tightening the hinges after reversing the door, not allowing enough wiggle room for it to cope with temperature change...

    Newbie 1st ever Brew.

    I'm just about to bung some yeast in my Woodfordes Wherry, which has been reaching correct temp overnight in my brew fridge. Only my 3rd brew since the 1980s!

    How often do you brew?

    Yes, I agree. Although I've not long resumed brewing, I'm currently restricted to one brew every couple of weeks due to space constraints. Ideally, this should become weekly to match my, and friends and family, consumption. Working on it!
