    Picture or Video of the day.

    Normally there is a mechanical method to release the caliper for system failure. The breakdown company should know how and may be in the handbook. Almost all cars apart from small number of new BEV have a mechanical backup key to get in hidden in the keyfob

    Better beer

    I've picked up a few cases from Cilgwyn and ordered a few cases over lockdown for father's day etc where they got steadily worse. I think they have lost their way unfortunately.

    GAS bbq...

    I've had a broil king for 7 yrs. Been pleased with it. Using a smoke box or lumps of wood can be used as a great smoker. Spit roaster makes really moist chicken. I have an aldi pizza box which also works great on it. Going to get my tin hat out now before they tell us to cook inside.

    Using gas BBQ as outdoor oven

    Your brave mentioning gas bbq on here. The charcoal police will be around soon telling you to cook inside. The broil kings are great, I've had a signet for about 7 yrs. I've thought about doing the same as I've also cast a pizza oven but it will take up too much space under the pergola. I'd be...

    Glasses

    I've always have a look round my local recycling centre. Picked up a few unique Belgian, German and even a Japanese kirin lager glass.

    Blue Stone IPA

    I spend a lot of time in Newport and been to the brewery. There pretty friendly, send them a message to ask about the hops. £30 for a case of 12 seems pretty standard from a brewery although have found some of there most recent brews were not to my taste. Struggled to drink a bedrock blonde.

    Rehydrating yeast

    I use a 250ml erlenmeyer flask, star san then pour in 100ml boiling water. Leave to cool to 35 while im doing other things. Easy to swirl the yeast in and again get into suspension before tipping in. No bother at all compared to the rest of the process.

    Scam warning.

    That's bad, I'm sure the NHS wouldn't be encouraging us to go to and mix in theme parks even if Boris would. Some people will fall for it. Did make me chuckle when it was suggested clubs should ask for vaccination cards, any printer could bash them out...

    Any plummers? Help identifying a alkathene joint

    Thanks for quick reply. As i remember there is an insert with a protruding o-ring to seal against the fitting which was why i was wondering if i could get a like for like. Seen most seal on the outside but the pipe is quite rough

    Any plummers? Help identifying a alkathene joint

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help me identify a coupling I have on a mains feed. The 15mm copper connector is a JG one and split on the threads under o-ring. Seems it's a brass one now with tapered 1/2" bsp but nervous the angle not designed for interference fit. Local plumbers...

    What BBQ?

    That's my plan Clint, I do enjoy cooking over good charcoal which i do on holiday but also the flexibility of gas as suits. Seen a few Weber around second hand on eBay

    What BBQ?

    I have a broil king with a rotisserie which we use a lot and it's great when we have people round. Did a great full brisket for a party when we were alowed one, burnt ends were to die for. Feeding some chunks of oak for smoke (like the charcoal fans 😉). Cooking on charcoal is great but more...

    What BBQ?

    At the risk of starting an argument, gas or charcoal (personally i think both have their merits)?
