    Would you still vote for Brexit?

    I surprised this topic has not be scrapped yet, all similar ones usually ended up in huge arguments. By the way EU has already replaced trade the would loose with UK leaving the single market. We will still buy German card or where ever they are produced in EU - as if with tariffs they will...

    Has anyone else just had enough?

    I had few days when I felt like this. Mainly caused by listen to political programs on the radio, watching tv news , following social media. My wife told me I need to stop. Went on a political detox for few days - much better, and now I really limit how much news I watch/listen to. And as I well...

    Electric Coffee machines (under £100)

    My wife drinks a lot of coffee, 2-3 a day, I will have 1 as well. We went through 2 dolce gusto machine and 2 Delonghi micalite. All of the break down after around 2-3 years. They just start leaking in different places. And I couldn't get the parts to replace. Now we bough bit more expensive...

    What kit beer are you drinking tonight?

    Coopers New Zealand Pilsner - just had a pint. It got better since I drunk it last time, still not impressed. It is okeish. This one is not hoppy at all, which is fine, it feels it has too much sweetness.

    Favorite Yeast for brewing Real Ale

    For bitters I love Crossmyloof Beoir - fast and sticks to the bottom, producing nice clear beer, just fermenting stout with Ringwood and have high hopes for it. Kveik Voss works really well for pales - nice clean taste, sae us-05. Notty is very good as well. Never had much success with S04, but...

    Brewzilla thread to share knowledge, experiences and good practice

    You will not regret it. I came from diy boiler and cool box mash tun to Brewzilla. It save me around 2h in the brewing day, much better temp control as well. Mashing is more efficient than before, as you can recirculate water in mashing.

    Trump v Biden.

    Different news desk call different numbers, 264 is called by associated press that has already called Arizona win for Biden - it has still many votes to count but they estimated that Trump will not be bale to pull ahead - I'm not so sure, as apparently there was batch of votes (120k) and 56%...

    I'm not sure. as this time not all seats in senate were for elections, only about 3rd if I'm right. Not sure when next Senate elations are, but possibly dictated by each state

    Trump v Biden.

    Looks like republicans will keep it, but Dems kept congress, so not many changes here. Very close call between those 2. Would you thing if AOC would be allowed to be a candidate, she would do better?

    Trump v Biden.

    And Biden is only 1 year olden than Trump, but you would think younger candidate would be better. Politics. I really want Biden to win, need some good news.

    Trump v Biden.

    I think if those swing states switch to Biden and he wins lets say by more than 10 electoral votes, Trump might go quietly. But the timing is sensitive as well, some states said they will not announce their results till Friday morning - Trump is not patient person and he will call to stop voting...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Schools, colleges and Unis open (most unis teach online now), as far as I know factories and big manual processing plants still open - as work from home if you can. This will not stop or reduce amount of infections massively. I think there will be extension after 2nd Dec. Banning take away beer...

    Classic Band Aid/Medicinal Problem

    Re garden hose - definitely true - if I fill a bucket from the hose you can smell this medicine like smell at close. Made this mistake once, never again. Had to chuck lovely cascade Pale, that had almost 200g hops used in it - almost cried. Now I mostly use RO water and treat it or for...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Some schools will have a massive problem with staffing, especially in "hot zones" - I'm sure most schools do have the staff members (teachers and non teachers) who are older or vulnerable. In my school we have 2 teachers with 1 year to retirement - one has underlining health issues and other...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    I don't think they have much choice. But this could be avoided if the time bought with first lock down have been used better, serco test and trace is not working as intended, lots of money wasted on PPE equipment that wasn't up to the standard needed. It feels like only winners are those...
