GPs would say that you can't give any treatment for a virus, definitely not antibiotics. Just tell the hospital staff to go home ,lie down, plenty liquids and it will be OK in a day or two

When our Pharma company closed 2 years ago we still had some in house operating systems for equipment that were Windows NT and 95. They were not networked but it was known that if there was a fault the system could not be fixed and not only the software would have to be replaced but also the...

They did, It's called the IDS ( Ian Duncan Smith) virus and it's deadly to claimants especially the disabled.!

Brewlab very professional, it does help if you have a science background I was a lab manager and instrument manager for 20 years in pharma industry. Good luck with your venture , would hope to get up there sometime but my wandering days are limited due to family responsibilities!

I did the 10 week Brewlab course and you are right the brewing does seem to be the easy bit. there si a big focus now on due diligence and HACCP ( Hazard assessment Critical Control Points) to stop you poisoning the public. Do you have a HACCP plan in place, it also helps you to understand...

The number of pubs closing may be slowing down but it is still happening however this is somehow offset by the fact that most microbreweries now are opening taprooms associated with their breweries. There rare a few new micropubs also opened by brewers which also stock other brewers beers so...

I have a phobia about not having a bottle of beer in the house but once it's there I rarely touch it. I can go 4- 5 days and not drink and then maybe have a couple. Usually only out 1 night a week and maybe have 4-5 pints then but rarely in the house. I do still need to know that there is some...

Don't worry, he'll be back!!

Agree but once they are in there they could not be turned loose and survive. I think without a new licence all of these animals would have been in danger of being killed.

Agree with that , a quick spurt when needed. The first time I used I left the gas turned on and it emptied the cylinder and would not dispense after a while It is important to make sure that the cylinder is screwed completely in as I lost a couple leaking from the holder.

There is a problem with Government definitions of poverty, and a certain sense of entitlement among the lower paid or those totally dependent on benefits. The actual definition of poverty includes those who do not have a range of things that I would class as nice to have but not essential such...

They are only dark for 6 months of the year and then they are light again! Must admit I am a fan of these also. It's funny how similar the swedish/norwegian language is to Geordie dialect, they share a lot of words!

Chinese alphabetti spaghetti! Goes nice with spam apparently!

I usually put about 13 - 16 g of table sugar, not sure what that is in spoons? Never tried it myself but have heard that 20g is too much.

The BJCP description of English porters and Irish stout have the following descriptions Porter Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Moderately-low to moderately-high carbonation. Light to moderate creamy texture. Appearance: Light brown to dark brown in color, often with ruby...

I thought you were going to say your eye was hanging out and he just shoved it back in without an anasthetic, just like the dentist! you have not had much luck have you!

It is a blurred area nowadays as porter was a more popular beer in it's day and yes brown malt was it's main constituent which is not always the case now. Brown malt now is not the same as the brown that used to be used for traditional porters. I always assume that stouts are a more full bodied...

As a general rule freezing slows down the rate of any chemical reactions and therefore degradation into bi products and off tastes. Excluding oxygen will prevent oxidation mainly but for sealed and unsealed packs freezing should make them stable for longer

See if you can find a nice friendly microbrewery, not so much for hops but grain can be very cheap. I get a full sack of Marris otter for about £14, Golden promise about £16, this is probably enough for 5- 6 brews. You can order small quantities of the other grains or share with others...
