    Kveik

    Did beer using top cropped Lellemand Voss. Just added 1 tea spoon of this - I think that how much Kveik you suppose to use (under pitching).

    Your views on how the Tories have handled Coronavirus.

    Really interesting clip: The thing is, Boris already made mistakes, not preparing for it. I would say this is the biggest so far. Second mistake is not to order people of the streets, in lot of places people still acting like nothing is happening. Even Theresa May is criticising current...
