    Covid-19 the second wave.

    There are alot of ifs and maybes about what the vaccines do or don't do (and everything else to do with covid), my speculation is that is it prevents symptoms (coughing the virus into the air and onto surfaces) and gets rid of the virus in your body quicker then it must a least make you a bit...

    Pubs post COVID

    Thats how I felt about pubs (when it was an option) and i'm sure a huge no of others. I have my own pub instead but its not the same on your own.

    Pubs post COVID

    Just wondered what anyone's thoughts are. Do you think the pubs near you will reopen? Will the same customers be back? How many do you think could close permanently? Are the old regulars desperate to go back or have they got used to not going and found alternatives? Is it going to be...

    Anyone got one of these wort chillers?

    I think thats exactly the one I got around 5 years ago, works great for 23L batches

    Water pump for wort chiller

    The problem with recirculating the cooling water is as the wort cools the cooling water heats up and eventually they will both get to the same temp and cooling will stop. Also is wasting the water worse that wasting the energy to cool water and pump it? Counter flow chillers are much more...

    Small brewery relief.

    From what I can tell the proposed idea is instead of getting 50% discount for under 5000hl and no discount not much above it they want a much more staggered rate, so that breweries don't hit an amount of production then have no reason to expand due to the tax hike. Also as far as I can tell its...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    I just made this just to test some software to see if it works. It was only a test but shows the spread of covid in the southeast since early September

    Ban on new petrol and diesel cars in UK from 2030 under PM's green plan

    Many good points being made here, looks like I was wrong about how far behind batteries where on HGVs and it certainly looks like battery technology is the soon/now/near future solution and if hydrogen has a place in the near or even distant future is a maybe. A few things I forgot to mention...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    I think thats a different variant to the latest one 1st found in Kent

    Ban on new petrol and diesel cars in UK from 2030 under PM's green plan

    Except it looks like batteries are a long way off of being and good for HGVs so petrol stations may have to stock hydrogen for them anyway. It looks likely it will cost around 3-4 times more per mile for hydrogen so it gives you a choice of wait for a charge or pay for a fast hydrogen fill...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Just went to Waitrose, theres a queue to get in for the 1st time since lockdown 1 but only a few mins. Fairly quiet inside but no vegetables left at all except onions and a few of the tiny packs of mini corn and green beans. Most fruit is still there but a few things have run out. Theres...

    Ban on new petrol and diesel cars in UK from 2030 under PM's green plan

    Just a thought, do you think we could see hydrogen fuel cell + battery hybrid electric cars?

    Vaccine queue calculator for the U.K.

    between 27/06/2021 and 17/09/2021. I think it puts me in the exact middle of the population

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Its worth watching this just for a different perspective from India warning its not very optimistic.

    What can you buy that's made in Britain

    I don't know what percentage but I think most paper, carboard and glass things are made here, also many large one piece injection moulded products that don't need (labour intensive) further assembly. About 5-7 years ago (following nos are off the top of my head and very approximate) I was...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Thats looks about right to me. I think the tier system is flawed (partly demonstrated by this) in there are not that much differences between them. The main difference if where the rule of 6 applies or if it does and I don't believe many people follow it to the letter and instead use there own...

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Totally agree but I think in March they based the pay outs on thinking it would all be over buy the end of summer.

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Yes the government has totally failed to clarify the definition of a substantial meal, I think if you want to sell something cheap just to comply the best idea is a lidl or cash and carry ploughman's lunch it could easily cost under 50p.

    Covid-19 the second wave.

    Cheers for the answer, maybe my 1st question should have been, How were cases rising in North Kent during lockdown 2 when they were dropping massively everywhere in the rest of the country. There were alot of cases in a prison in Sheppey but I think Thanet was rising 1st.
