    Hop & Grape in Darlington

    OK - had a quick look tonight after a prompt via facebook. Looks like they aren't selling grain at all, either in kit or bagged form. Maybe a transition thing. Seem to be doing extracts and kits - plus equipment. Wishing the new operators well.

    Hop & Grape in Darlington

    I found the Malt Miller site a bit confusing. Feeling my age a bit.

    Buying a fridge to house keg/fermenter

    Best thing I've done is convert our old fridge using a 308 and a heater from screwfix. Keeps all the gubbins out the house, constant temps, easy to keep clean. I could do with improving my slightly rickety wooden platform - it holds the FV fine, but I probably could have made smaller gaps...

    Bottle Priming

    I've had a couple of batches that were overprimed recently. Sloppiness on my part. The last batch was deliberately underprimed. I've got a pleasant tingle of fizz, but no head. I suppose the next lot might be on the money (or not). I've switched to batch priming - so much easier.

    What should schools teach kids about sex?

    It can be a tricky world at the best of times, and a dangerous world at worst. Given that context, perhaps educating people in order to help them keep themselves safe is a good thing. Perhaps educating them so they understand the world and the people around them might, as Chippy suggests...

    Elvis's Humble Brewcave

    Ventured in tonight and horrified to find my main rack of shelving for bottles had toppled over. To be fair it was a former mini greenhouse, and I hadn't tethered it to the wall. So I was probably asking for it. About 60 bottles went over. I think I lost 2. Needs a proper clean up - maybe...

    May Mogg and Brexit what just happened

    I'd feel sorry for any government that was having to implement the disaster that is Brexit. Unless it was a Tory party government who were responsible for it. I feel for the most disadvantaged in society who will suffer, as ever, the most. I feel nothing at all for overweeningly ambitious...

    What should schools teach kids about sex?

    Trying to decipher this. What do you think sex ed should cover, and from what ages should it be taught?

    Rather similar to Trump and Trump supporters perspective on pretty much anything that matters.

    Retired - your plans.

    Very similar. I fancy getting a few chucks, and improving my photography. My car maintenance too.

    Retired - your plans.

    A colleague (42) just been diagnosed with motor neurone disease - initial diagnosis was around treating a 'bad back'. Two kids under 10 yrs old. Makes yer think.

    Retired - your plans.

    I can't wait. My dream scenario (because I'm ruling out a lotto) is that I get the youngest through uni, then another year or two, then my employer decides to give me a juicy VR package. The lotto is more likely, on reflection. A scenario I can hope for then - don't die too soon, see the...

    Donald Trump.

    very much both a bellsniff a nasty bellsniff a nasty bellsniff peddling horrible policies that are damaging lives and destabilising society and I think he's doing it for a reason other than ego

    Boris gone.

    We're getting dangerously close to being personal again. Both sides have been happily patronising each others world view for the past 2 and a bit years.
