    Covid the *** and the final stage.

    My 92 year old Mum's had it. No problems at all. She had none from Jabs 1&2 either. PS All Pfizer

    Looking for the best budget red and white wine kits pleasr

    I recently did the Winexpert Classic Chilean Malbec. Followed instructions exactly, you have to rack twice and add various fining agents at different stages. It's certainly clear, but lacks body and complexity. Worked out about £2 per bottle but my wife and I agree that I won't be doing it...

    Angela Rayner on the Tories

    Not for quite a while now. I had a 164 when the internet 'took off' and I needed a username for loads of things and it just stayed through laziness. My first two cars were Alfasuds.

    Angela Rayner on the Tories

    The problem is that they won't go down well with the voters that Labour need to get back in order to win an election.

    Thank you both, but I don't want to go beyond extract kits at the moment.

    Where can I get a rye ale extract kit?

    I made the Mangrove Jack's Rye IPA (Rye IPA - Limited Edition) which I really liked. They don't do it anymore. Anyone know where I can get something similar? The Yanks seem to go for this sort of beer: https://www.austinhomebrew.com/Extract-Rye-Ale-Kits_c_197.html

    Lager, NOT larger!

    Just saying... Lager : a beer (such as a bock or pilsner) that is brewed at cool temperatures by slow fermentation with a slow-acting yeast Larger : exceeding most other things of like kind especially in quantity or size

    No trucks, CO2 and Christmas is cancelled.

    When I read the papers, listen to radio, or watch TV, I completely ignore any 'news' which includes the words could, perhaps, might, probably, etc. That rules out 99% of the doom and gloom.

    Oxygenating wort

    Thank you both for your quick, helpful, replies. I was a bit worried but my wife, who will be the main consumer, was more worried!

    Oxygenating wort

    I am making my first attempt at wine using a Winexpert Classic Chilean Malbec. The instructions just say to stir the wort. With beer I give it a vigorous beating but did as suggested. 24 hours later there is weak, intermittent bubbling, no krausen, just much less 'action' than I'm used to with...

    Drink beer if you're vegan

    Vegans are like the SS to the vegetarian Wehrmacht.

    To pimp up or not to pimp up?

    If it's their cheapest £12 one, I did this a few weeks ago to see what the cheapest beer I could do would be like. I did it as per instructions, worked out to about 30p per bottle. I use it as a gnat's p**s lager substitute for a friend who only drinks Carling and Carlsberg (don't get me started!).

    Young's New World Saison stuck on 1009.

    It's a strange one, never had a saison before. Not really sure what it's meant to taste like. It seems to be getting more drinkable as the weeks go by.

    Young's New World Saison stuck on 1009.

    Just FYI, in the end I stirred it up and hopped it. It finished at 1007.

    Equipment Crossover?

    I'd not thought that I could use my beer bottles. I would be doing it to please my wife really, and she likes 'big' reds so we'd probably be OK with residuals.
