Cultured meat that is something to ponder on. I only started this thread thinking someone would say..oh mate your missing out on blah blahs imperial stout or so and so's IPA. What a can of worms I've opened...I'll leave that for the meaties to devour.

Good point it, seems nothing we eat now is untainted..have to get another allotment and a fish pool.. Any idea what koi tastes like

Wow some strong options there. It's quite ironic how I gave up eating meat. It all started many moon's ago when my college group had an "educational" trip to the Bass brewery at Burton as part of our plant reconditioning course. Our lecturer was a crap driver and chose to drive there using all...

OK for starters I might have spelt it wrong but it's too early in the morning to be thumbing through a dictionary. Basically I eat fish and dairy products but not meat. I have done since 16 and I'm 51 now. I m not one of those tree hugging do gooders and I'm more than happy to do my bit on the...

In my opinion retiring early is all down to saving early. Granted not everyone has the opportunity to save and I appreciate not all companies offer decent pension schemes but even the smallest amount you can afford to invest in AVCs will help you to leave the rat race that little bit earlier. I...

They can have whatever they can make use of, like previously posted my liver will probably be no use...and I want to keep my eyes .

Got to be a good old 80s new wave compilation.

Just down the road..im in process of working my notice and moving at the moment, let me get sorted and we'll arrange a meet up

As a caretaker I tend not to even think about the "s" word..too much like hard work.

My advice is know your drink and know your limit. I rarely seem to get a hangover when drinking homebrew compared to commercial stuff, would be interested in other members opinion on why this is, I put it down to savouring the taste rather than tanking it down because you're stuck in a round.

Hi all I have been a member for quite some time but haven't posted for ages. I'm a member of a three strong brewing collective making mainly ales and wine but occasionally we make mead and elderflower champagne. Based in coventry would be great if anymore local brewers would like to join us for...

Hi one and all, moving job and house so very reluctantly having to dismantle home bar. I have a very large collection of bottles (some rare ones but mainly common) majority are capped..but empty! There is over 250 all crated up and ready to go..you'll need a van or trailer and it's an all or...

Think I’m going to empty them into a brewing bucket (good luck there!) make a batch of turbo cider and mix them together to make a “summer fruits cider”.....no carbonation required!

I have a similar problem with a batch of Wilko cab sav wine I made for the good lady. Made dozens of times before so really shocked when it shot out of the bottle like a shook up can of tizer. Had clearly finished fermenting (not sweet to taste) hydrometer reading steady, put stabiliser in, left...

Tight me.......so when I saw the kitchen staff at my school chucking out the syrup from the fruit cocktails, pineapple slices etc etc I thought I'd try doing something with it. Now the collection of source liquid is infinately variable so each brew is different, some nectar some rank, but...

Hi there, This may or may not be of any help at all but i brew from kits and have just acquired a free beer engine. I have a bottle shortage at the moment so tend to store the remains of brews in a demi john awaiting the second spoon of sugar for carbonation. Now I have the beer engine I...

Success!!!!!!!!!!!!! gravity fed some hot water into the beast whilst pumping away and hayho it now works. no need for check valve either. had some pilsner left over in a dj cos i run out of bottles and tried that through, the good lady thinks it tastes like caffereys. next question....best...

I dont think mine is an Angram no distinctive plate or markings. The engine doesn't seem to be drawing at all put my tongue over end of pipe having took check valve off and unless it takes more than 10 or so cranks on the lever it was pull no vaccum.

Hi, I have just acquired a beer engine (no pipes, no fittings, no check valve) and tried connecting a pipe to it (the larger "fir cone" connector), plugging off the remaining smaller straight connectors (which i am led to believe are for a chiller). cadged a check valve from a plumber and...

My local is The Pilot although I must admit havent been inside for years, I tend to use Christ the King club or drink my own. I'm doing the Dryathlon this month and it's killing me so roll on February and lets organize a Cov and Bedworth Homebrew Drinking Collective get together.
