    Lifting table? (what do you stand your on?)

    What is everyone using these lifts for? Is it to get the beer out if your unit doesn't have a pump?

    Are you really happy with your ale ? Really happy ?

    Agree with others about water treatment. No need to get too complicated. If you always keg your beer, the other thing I would suggest is to try bottling some. I know many (most?) on here swear by kegging, but for me my bottled beer tastes better. Next brew you could just do a few pints extra...

    OK, time for my 'is this a disaster' question. Starsan left in bottles...

    Thanks. I've been happily not fearing the foam, but I was concerned about a starsan top... No longer!

    OK, time for my 'is this a disaster' question. Starsan left in bottles...

    Encouraging, thanks! I'll go ahead and cap the bottles and see what it tastes like when ready, rather than just dumping it. Cheers.

    OK, time for my 'is this a disaster' question. Starsan left in bottles...

    I have just bottled my latest brew. I decided to try using a bottling wand again (after many years), having just used the jug and funnel method for a long time. I think this change to my routine is what threw me off. Anyway, I had rinsed my bottles, then squirted some star san into each bottle...

    One for the bikers

    Good illustration. Although no longer a biker, I am still a keen cyclist. Unfortunately the things you need to do to stay safe - eg occupying center of a lane, keeping > 1m away from parked cars etc are exactly the sort of things that wind a lot of motorists up. You get shouted at just for...

    One for the bikers

    I'd say just be aware of the risks involved. I only rode bikes (no cars) till I was 50, though I did learn to drive a car when I was 40. Loved biking. But: My Dad lost a leg in a bike accident when he was 67. My uncle had a bad bike accident in his twenties. My mum lost her life due to a bike...

    Electric cars.

    That isn't reflected by actual used EV prices.

    Electric cars.

    They vary, round here between 35p/kwh and 65p. The faster ones are usually more expensive. At the public charger I occasionally use, price per mile is about the dame as my old diesel.

    Black pudding

    I dont boil it, but sometimes melt it in baked beans. Yum. Sounds awful but isn't.

    In my opinion today

    No to hash browns, yes to a slice of toast to put the egg on

    Early internet.

    System/38 was easily the best computer system I ever worked on. Thr Control Language was completely intuitive.

    Electric cars.

    This is an unnecessarily disparaging reply. The fact that there isn't an EV for your use case (yet) doesn't mean that all EVs are for people with 'nowhere to go'.

    Electric cars.

    There is a list of EVs that can tow, but at the moment only a couple of hybrids can do 3 tonnes https://electrictowcars.co.uk/electric-tow-cars/

    Pubs in Kendal serving food

    I'd vote for the ring o'bells, lovely pub, and also the brewery arts centre which does surprisingly good food and beer. Both in the bottom end of town. (I used to avoid the Spoons mainly because of the owner.)

    Chemclean Residue?

    Question for G40 users

    I got the gf tap for my g40 and I much prefer it to using the nut. No izsues with getting hop crud out. But I have switched from leaf to pellet, as leaf kept blocking the pump. Gf tap is nicely made.

    People will be paid to use less electricity on Monday

    That will be it. We saved 70p first time, and £1.42 second time, but we don't normally use much at that time. This is why they only announce the dfate/time 24 hours in advance - to prevent people 'gaming' the deal by saving their washing etc until a given slot to produce an abnormally high...

    People will be paid to use less electricity on Monday

    It all depends on how much you normally use in that time slot. So if you normally run the dishwasher, washing machine, grainfather and oven during that time slot and you go to the pub instead, you will save a lot!
