Red rebellion please. :)

I’d probably hang fire a bit longer. Sediment can give some off flavours if it’s left on them too long (I believe) but 2-3mm shouldn’t make much of any difference. It can sometimes stimulate the yeast to turn the music up at their rave a party and little bit harder but you also lose some wine to...

No, and I’ve had this new cough and high temp for a while..... I decided to drink my GEB beers instead and chucked this. I’ve got a bit of VWP left so will give it another good scrub. It had been sat for a while so I scrubbed it to within an inch of its life prior to packaging. But when I...

Mrs. H commented on why the sink stank of vinegar.... I think I made the right call. :) and no third nipple.

Or worse... grow a third nipple?!

I’ve been drinking my way through a bitter kit, which is nearing the end. It’s been in a PB and I’ve just pulled a pint off and saw something white blob through the tap. It came through in one blob but has since spread itself across the top of the pint. I know my seal on the cap isn’t great so...

🤣 my comment was a reference to a scene in the film where the lead male tries to impress/seduce the lead lady by wearing only whipped cream, cherries and chocolate sauce. I was being rude, childish and naughty. I have had a world with myself and sat on the naughty step and thought about what...

Rings bells of “not another teen movie” I think there was more whipped cream involved though....

I love a bit of fiore! I constantly find myself asking myself what posta I’m in. I never got on with longer pole weapons. I like to be up close and personal. A poleaxe was my polearm of choice. My harness was built in wales by a chap who’s done stuff for royal armouries in York. Love the back...

Was that C15th? Which group were you with? I’m sorry to hear your wife got sick, I really hope she’s doing well!! Also loving the landy. My brother is really into his landies (auto correct tried to change that to pandora! 🤣) and has got a TD5 90 and they use an MOD 110 as a tractor. Rough...

Good evening, You’re fine to rack it whilst it’s still bubbling, the yeastie beasties won’t mind. It can sometime get them a bit excited and they fizz a little bit more but you should be fine. I normally leave my brews (more mead than anything) until there’s a good layers of lees on the bottom...

I’d be tempted to use a tea as your diluting water to which you add your honey. Maybe have a play with lavender tea as a drink to find the strength and then scale it up to your batch size. You tend to use the buds rather than the leaf with lavender in cooking (stews, cakes and biscuits.) a...

Commercial yeasts have a recommended temp range but 25+ wouldn’t kill them. It can, however, “stress” the yeast. (I’ve got images of all these little yeastie beasties talking about how they can’t handle the hot weather.... sounds like me really...) but I digress. Stressing the yeast in this...

This is the link for applying for funds less than £10k from the national lottery community fund (I’m reckon you should be just about able to get a press for £10k.... just. :laugh8:) There are other community funds available too. It’s always worth reading up on bid writing and their criteria...

When I read his name then, I thought this was an obituary thread! Very glad to see it’s not!

It can also be used to neutralise wild yeast prior to pitching your wine/cider etc. yeast. Make sure you give it 24-48 hrs before pitching.

You might also find your gravity (and flavour) is lower if they soak up some water.

Bloomin’ auto correct! Honest.... @DavieC do you know them too?

I went to one a couple of years back near me. Some cracking ales. It was just me and my dad, and we sat on a table with chap and his Mrs. We’d been chatting for a couple hours and sampling local beers when his Mrs. went to top up their glasses and my dad went to the loo to make space for more...
