    Peppermint

    Steeping some in some vodka could be refreshing.

    Corny kegs...please help.

    Safety - CO2 isn't flammable so that's good, the main concern is that the bottle gets knocked over shearing off the regulator and you have a sudden release of gas causing the bottle to shoot across the room. Hence it's recommended that the bottle is secured so it can't fall over. Insurance -...

    (un)fortunately they're a little less PC in Eastern Europe, so Spain vs Italy goes to penalties.... **** http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/903835-hungarian-tv-recreates-spain-v-italy-with-bikini-models

    The Olympic Rip Off Has begun

    I read about this on the BBC website earlier, apparently if you wanted to keep your Olympic torch after carrying it you had to pay £199 (subsidized from the £400 odd it cost to make them). Now if I've given you 200 quid for something then it's mine to do what I bloody well like with, and if...

    Sub Woofers...decisions decisions...

    Well I've only ever bought the one sub and that was a good 6 years ago, but it's still going strong and sounding good and only occupies a cubic foot of living room space. It's more than capable of rattling the windows if need be though! Obviously it's now been superceded but this seems to be...

    A funny thing happened on the way to the forum

    I could never understand the aversion the rest of the family had to me doing AG in the kitchen, lots of dramatically running around holding noses complaining about the vile smells? :wha: Personally I think mashes and hops smell fantastic, so shut myself away in the garage with them :party:

    Secondary FV or no secondary FV , that is the question !

    This one's down to personal preference and finding what works for you, mine is to allow about 2 weeks to ferment out then cold crash for another 5-7 days. I'll then keg straight from the primary or if bottling syphon it into a bottling bucket, batch prime then bottle. My philosophy being the...

    some prices i have been offered for shiny

    When I bought mine they allowed you to combine shipping on two pots, so at a guess you'd be looking at just over 30 euro's. Which considering the size of the things really isn't that bad! Personally I think the things are an absolute bargain, they'll last you forever and if god forbid you ever...

    my build..read so much im sprialling out of control...

    Given that the difference between a 50 and 70 litre stockpot is 6 euro's I really can't see why you'd want to go for the 50L. A 50L thermos is a good match for 70L hlt/boiler.

    AG equipment

    The main reason for the hlt, mash tun and boiler is time saving. If you only have the boiler and mash tun then you have to collect all your wort in a large bucket (50L in my case) and wait until you've finished sparging before you can pour it in the boiler and start to bring the wort to the...
