    Partygate a new low.

    I was replying to the post that was using the terms conservative and labour, however, Johnson stood up in the house and time and time again denied rule breaking. That is the main problem of the whole affair. For him to plead ignorance either is a lie or he is stupid. It is disingenuous of him...

    Partygate a new low.

    I think that you are not reading the situation here, this is the government, the law makers, on one side, and not the government on the other. Remember this has little to do with whether there was a party but whether Johnson stood up and denied that there had been any rule breaking, which there...

    Partygate a new low.

    The rules at time allowed for meals at work events. Mrs Johnson and decorator friend were at the birthday party therefore not work event. Until Williamson resigned there were two cabinet ministers that had in previous cabinet resigned due to national security issues, that would in the past have...

    I'm going to try re-using my yeast

    I've transferred to bottling and then through experience (done it for last 5-6 years) discovered using a third of the remains in the FV is more than ample amount of yeast. Pitching straight onto the full amount is startling, and I did read (Brulosophy?) regarding over pitching. However if I'm...

    Greetings from darkest Essex

    I do recommend sending water sample to Murphyandson.co.uk to get water treatment solutions, well worth the £30+ cost, and do give good after advice

    Refractometer

    https://www.stevenson-reeves.co.uk/reeves/HPKM.htm I use a 1.005-15 for FG and 1.030-60 for OG. The FG one is certified, (and expensive)

    Wilko Beer Finings

    Olde style is no finings? Weren't they introduced when glass started to be used, instead of earthenware or metal tankards, probably about the time of white bread and white sugar?

    One-way ticket to Rwanda for some UK asylum seekers

    So what are you on about then? These people are not "illegal" until they break the law. And then 28% (is the latest figure that) get refused and will then be deported. And while you may think 28% is a low number remember the tragedies around the world, Syria, Afghanistan and others that can be...

    One-way ticket to Rwanda for some UK asylum seekers

    I'll try again. There may be illegal immigration but it is not illegal to cross the channel (by any means) and then claim asylum.

    One-way ticket to Rwanda for some UK asylum seekers

    All of this talk about illegal crossing of the channel. Could it be remembered that to come across the channel in a dangerous way is not illegal, if it is to claim asylum. This use of 'illegal' is wrong, If the asylum application is turned down then they can then be deported. The problem really...

    Canning Thread

    The DRS seems to be a well meant, but ill thought through scheme. It involves a lot of red tape, it will disadvantage small producers over large/mega producers. If the purpose is to get people to recycle then use the manufacturers of the containers to put the scheme in place. There are fewer...

    Hop pellets

    When I have used pellets to dry hop (which for dry hopping are far more efficient than leaf I think) I tie a nylon bag on the end of the syphon tube in my bottling bucket. I used to tie the bag on the end of the syphon as a filter but the suction of the syphon clogged the bag. The bag does get...

    The TV Licence.

    And as soon as BBC gone then Netflix and other streaming services will just put their prices up and/or standards/quality drop, its standard procedure

    The TV Licence.

    I get your point, though independence always has a price? Cross party committee to negotiate budget? Transparency & clarity in negotiations? Budget agreed on a rolling timetable so budget would be beyond next election? The point of using tax would be the answer to Doris' bellowing of too...

    The TV Licence.

    And not to forget the World Service. (I thought we were being Global Britain these days) And not to forget the Schools part of BBC, Bitesize, big effect pre 2020 massive during lockdown. And also not to forget that it was the Tories who broke their manifesto promise to keep free licence for over...

    Beer mixtures

    When I worked in a bar in N London early 80s, a popular drink was light and lager, never tried it myself. Later when living in the sticks I did discover that half draught Guinness, in a pint glass, topped up with a bottle of Gold Label barley wine kept the cold out, but didn't help staying...

    Bottle Conditioning

    Might it be cold crashing for too long? Makes too much yeast drop out?

    Priming a cask...

    Not mentioned here, so far, but fined/unfined? Would it make a difference? I don't fine my beer and never prime casks (36pt pin).
