How long is delivery taking from GEB these days? I need a couple of new FVs and an AG kit.

Thanks both, they both sound like good options. Thermowell is more work initially but less faff later on, by the sound of it.

Thanks for the tip; can I ask what a thermowell is and how I’d install one?

Nasty Cabbage

I make these for the mrs, she loves them. I like the flavour combination but find it a bit too sweet. If I have a cocktail it’s usually an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or a Negroni. Negroni is the easiest. 1 shot each of gin, red vermouth, and Campari. Stir it for about 1 minute with plenty of...

Good Christ man, are you trying to go blind?

Hi all! I hope everyone is keeping safe amongst all the coronamadness. I’ve no idea if anyone even remembers me- I used to post quite regularly but have had quite a long absence from homebrewing- over 18 months! In my defence I’ve had a lot on- I learned to ride a motorbike, bought a...

They were literally goose-stepping and seig-heiling in the streets. Calling them Nazis doesn't seem particularly unfair to me.

Thanks Slid, it was a bit gutting. Still, I think I'll try a red ale next- something for the autumn.

Well this ended horribly. On Saturday, after almost 2 months in the FV, it was still so cloudy it looked like soup and smelled strongly of gone-off fruit and nail varnish remover. Had to chuck it :(

I suspect Khan's problem is not so much that "cycling is racist", but that he wants Londoners to cycle and no one other than middle class white men seem to be doing so.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

An American brewery is currently trying to put these into production. I'm all for it, though I'd be interested to know how significantly it will affect the price of one of their sixpacks. https://wokesloth.com/six-pack-rings-feed-animals-instead-of-choking/alexa/

I'm having to deal with this (I'm a salesman/account manager, so our CRM system needs a good clean out as a result). I think it's a good idea, and definitely coming from the right place, but it's a right headache to get yourself compliant. The reason everyone is so panicky is the fines. A...

Ah, I did pitch at 23c, and while it was very warm the first week of fermentation I doubt the brew was sat above that. I'll pitch some wilko yeast tonight just to be on the safe side.

SG has dropped to 1017, so it's slowly getting there. It's still really cloudy though.

Unfortunately not. This was my first foray into water chemistry, so it was at a very basic level.

I have the same issue. We're thinking about buying a place, and as soon as we do that's first on the list.

What Brian said. I was being flippant, they weren't actual instructions. Don't use nails!

It's not very complicated, you just need to nail a greenhouse heater to the inside and buy an inkbird. Hell, I'd do it if I had a spare fridge and some spare space, and I can barely wire a plug!
