    take some pictures to help the retailer make a claim against the delivery firm. Hopefully they will resolve it quickly for you.

    Web frustration.

    Doesn't everybody just use 'Password1'? at my last job I used to cycle through that. 'Password2' and 'Password3' until it would let me start again... Everybody in my department did the same so we could all hotswap without logging in and out. Security at its finest :-D

    The Leaning Stilton of Eccles take Three.

    I like a bit of stilton, but really just a bit. There is no chance I could get through that much in a year! I tend to put it in pork meatballs more than anything

    50L pots

    No doubt a pallet full will still be shipped, but I always thought they where light on postage costs, they must have been loosing their profit margin with all these little UK orders.

    elderflower cordial or ribena

    If you wish to use ribena i would suggest using the 1L cartons of ready to drink juice, they are available in most supermarkets and don't contain preservatives.

    Lakeland moonshine

    My dad did a similiar 'brew and dispense from the same bag' beer a few years ago, and has never touched a drop of homebrew since.. it was that bad. For that price you could pick up a Wherry kit and a bucket in the wilko sale.

    Is this worth it?

    I think your £30 offer was fair, if you just want the bottles then put an offer in for the bottles and maybe the FV, you probably already have the rest and dont need spares.

    first brew with wilkinson apple cider

    It will take much longer than the kit says, you should be looking at weeks if not months until you are drinking it. Give it plenty of time to finish, then drop clear.. And then a good bit longer before bottling. Once bottled it'll take a week or two to carbonate in the warm and a week or two in...

    Sediment in bottle AGAIN!

    A carafe I think is what I have. But yes I rack mine a few times, and cool it in the fridge to get as much sediment to drop as possible

    Sediment in bottle AGAIN!

    Since I started racking kits in to a clean demijohm and leaving it to clear and mature a bit before racking again in order to bottle I havn't had any noticable sediment in my wines. With the old bottles left which do I usually decant them in to something else to serve....there is a correct term...

    Homebrew twang

    all grain isn't the only answer, cost is one factor in brewing but when it comes to allgrain vrs kits the biggest difference is time. For £30 I can make a good kit, and its in the fermented in about 15 minutes. With all grain your looking at pitching the yeast maybe 6 hours later if you get a...

    Homebrew twang

    The yeasty taste usually comes from drinking too early and pouring the sediment in to your glass... I have started to notice a bit of a twang in all my kits the more I drink, One pressure barrel was wasted and went sour it was that bad.. I couldn't drink it fast enough. I'm moving towards...

I'll either have an unplesant surprise now or i won't be able to taste it, i hear some can't detect...
