Coffee is the new cocaine. It reminds me of the tea/coffee shops of yore when the south sea bubble was hatched. As an aside I challenged my wife to list all the coffee dispensers where we live ( small market town) and she ran out of steam at 35 - its bonkers. Im also led to believe `(cant...

You are correct in what you say to a degree. When I worked in healthcare there were 3 standard answers to any question - and they are as follows. 1. We've always done that 2. Matron told me 3. I dont know

You won't believe what Ive just seen - woman walking her greyhound, which has a muzzle - and she has a paper mask dangling around her neck. The world has TRUELY gone absolutely bonkers mad.

I dont think Im taking the good lady to a spoons FGS

You will be fine. Ive got a bitter on the go at present and the temp. is only about 17c in the room, and its gone off like a train - not that many trains are running at present:D

Im having a bad day!!

Ive met the owner and hes a very rich, fat, self centred prat, who can do no wrong!

Just had my 4th *** even though I swore I would never have another one. The folk at the vac centre really behave like a bunch of power crazed to&&ers in their yellow jackets, spraying everyone with alco gel and wearing paper masks outside. Virtue signalling idiots - drives me mad.

Im making for the first time in over 40 years, a lager, on Thursday. Using a CML all grain kit, as well, since I dont want a ton of ingredients for something I dont like or doesn't turn out well. I hope Im pleasantly surprised.

Im not sure this is relevant, Chippy, but Im taking the Mrs out to Sunday lunch at the w/e and I know that the "Gastro Pub" with "Real Ale" will stick a service charge on the bill. It really browns me off. Why dont they just charge an appropriate amount for the food and pay the staff a decent wage.

Agree!!!!! and cheap to make!!!!

A total triumph of style over substance. Very poor value.

I syphoned my (buy all the sainsburys discount raspberries) wine into a 5L jug and then poured it into bottles. Not sure its best practice, but at least I could see how many bottles I needed. If this is a bad move please let me know, since Im not a wine maker. Just as aside one batch was...

Here you go then matey for 10 litres so you may split or only do half 200 gms of finely chopped ginger 1 kg sugar Boil it all up in some water for 15 mins Strain ( I use a jam making strainer) and cool and put into your sterile water bottles. Use a champagne or CML ginger beer yeast all done in...

I use mine for fermenting ginger beer. Dont even use an airlock. Just place cap on gently. Virtually no effort to make. Fiery ginger beer with a cloudy lemonade top is superb.

Spot on Tony, though mild was perhaps more of a "northern" thing. My local had some barrels of cider on the counter as well, which had the effect of erasing ones memory.sick...

Try some Cannonball Adderley and Duke Ellington and Bill Evans - Im saying this as it seems you like Davis /Coltrane. By the way, I dont listen to the Dead all day long!

Good to see you have had a go at cold smoking. 9 hours seems excessive for a piece that size. I do about 4 hours max. Regards the cutting up, the last piece I did, I peeled the skin off and cut it conventionally, and that worked well for very thin slices with no waste. You can also, if you wish...

Send it to Porton Down

Do they charge P&P?
