Often seen these in Pubs but wouldnt fit in my pocket (joke joke) With 3 Woodfordes in barrel for ages now untouched I was going to offer my mates a go at each one Wherry Nelsons and Admirals and though a novel twist would be to give 3 of them a Beer flight but WOW how expensive. It would be...

I stopped sending Cards 15 years ago to people at work and donated money I saved to Children in Need. It would be great if everyone (who wanted to) stopped mutually and chose a Charity Im down to a list of 25 ish now and every year I promise myself to put a message in saying "I am going to...

I just did Orange and Chili Cider which left a stubborn tide mark I used the VSP stuff and rotated FV until it had been underwater for a couple of hours and it had come off I realise tht might mean it was not that bad but I couldnt shift it with usual cleaning method

WOW takes me right back to getting the one above at that stage. He has now made it to 17 and a Half on Nov 22 and to think he started just like your friends pup. Enjoy the journey.

Anyone done this kit please ? Just put in Barrel today and it tasted (to me) like Ginger / Ginger beer. Not a thing I could drink 40 Pints of but thankfully it is for Mrs Wherry Just wondered if it will mellow after a few weeks in the Barrel to something maybe drinkable ? I did a Wobblygob...

Bit late to the party but if you have not got any replies I was really surprised at how good Wobblygob Mixed Berries turned out Made for Mrs Wherry and followed a similar Wilko Mixed fruit or similar name. That was watery for her she said and came from just one can and to that you added a small...

I made Admirals Reserve for a mates big Birthday - and used the suger quoted on the Box to batch prime the PET Bottles 2 of us randomly picked a bottle after 2 months and it tasted "carbonated" but did not have that much of a head. However I was trying NOT to disturb the sediment while...

Cheers Clint - you are often in my thoughts. Well each time I get someone a glass of Cider from my new Barrel (earlier thread) and I turn off the tap - I always think "make sure its at exactly 90 degrees like Clint suggested" Not leaked since then ! True !

Yahooooo - update especially for those who gave me some good tips in replies above Stage 1 - I got cheeky and asked my Tubs maker BlueWhaleSpas Nottingham for draining down tips. The Tub I have was superb value and their Customer service is great. I really rate the Tub and the service They...

clapa:laugh8: Glad to be of some assistance even as usual indirectly :laugh8:

ChilledGecko - yes that seems a sensible thing to do - I was probably remembering my DIY "track record" rather than my Chemistry as dosing it up with Chlorine granules before draining would ensure any water still in wouldnt freeze unless we got a really bad winter - and who knows we might get a...

athumb.. :beer1:

Hi again The Baron and once again thanks for the reply I have picked up more tips again from your reply and maybe still have one more question. I have a Sunshine Bay Hot Tub (Costco) and it has 1 Pump and a 2KW heater. It is a 13A Plug and Play and once the Pump runs it does 40 jets and 5...

Hi Pezza24 - yes its a hell of a lot of Wherry Kits / Admirals Reserve kits and you might be right I should probably do it myself. At least this isnt like putting shelves up ! Using The Barons tips I will probably drain it myself as I have done when just water changing in summer (as the drain...

Hi everybody and thanks for the input/replies Clint - they come and in effect service it - push chemicals through the water to cleanse the pipes. I wrongly thought that just bunging the water down the drain was easy as I do that when I change the water but - it does not drain what is in the...

Hi Got hot tub 2 summers ago and kept it on during Winter using it only on New Years Eve - and it worked out at at least £7 per week Havent been in it since Mid October but to have it properly drained to save the electric usage is around £350 which seems extortion and cheaper & to keep it...

I bought one recently and it had a leaky tap . There seemed to be a weeping from the front of it which you may negate with your vaseline Someone (Clint ?) pointed out to me that the Tap when turned to the "Off" position has to be as close to 90 degrees as you can get - or it will leak albeit...

Thanks I will certainly give that a go I was phasing out Wherry (despite my name) as I thought it a bit thin compared to Nelsons and Admirals but my last PB of Wherry really was good Also made my neighbour a batch of Admirals Reserve and bottled it for him for a big birthday. It stood ages in...

Thanks for that - are you using bottles or PBs and would it work for either ? H&B - LME = Holland and Barratt Liquid Malt Extract ? I found it on their Website so if thats it do you put all the 454g in - and at the start ? Does that tip also stand for Admirals Reserve and Nelsons Bitter...

Cheers - hope Nidger sees this. Im still searching for the thread as well (sure there was a photo) Cheers Kelper - I wont be resposible for bottle bombs now LOL
