Well you wouldn't as a consumer...exactly why the electrician who is responsible should be prosecuted because it's unlikely to be caught by the consumer and is a potential fire or electrocution risk. If for some other reason the home owner wanted to check something around the meter and a loose...

Well all of the suppliers will contract out the fitting of the meters. You'd have thought that if you found your meters install in that state then you report it to Octopus and if I were Octopus I'd be prosecuting the electrician.

You often see pubs and bars with CO2 bottles outside. Usually in cages to prevent theft I'd imagine, but totally open to the elements. Perfectly fine. I'd put the regulator inside though.

Well there are a few reasons and benefits why you want to cold crash. But if we're talking about cleaning up beer then if you don't cold crash then you're just putting more work on what ever other method of clearing beer that you might be using like finings or filtering. And if you're bothered...

the problem with this is that the expected level of tipping starts to escalate and you don't get the 'better service' unless you tip enough. Cant have it both ways...cant claim you need the tips because you get paid poorly, then when minimum wage/living wage comes in still expect the tips...

Maybe try a forced diacetyl test before the final crash?

I have only done one. I brewed the Lager and lagered it for about 6 weeks and only dry hopped after lagering and ahead of kegging. Not sure if this is the correct method, but I didn't want the hops sitting in the beer for 6 weeks. I guess I could have dry hopped at the start and pulled them out...

thinking about messing around with liquoring back for times when I want more volume. Appreciate I need to adjust hop additions to ensure I achieve target IBU's and hop flavour profile post dilution, but how would you treat the water you use for dilution? I assume you'd want to adjust PH to match...

How expensive do you think they are once you dilute them? I buy a 5kg bucket of VPW which is pricy upfront, but it lasts ages. I've not working out how expensive it is per dosage but it will be pence per dose rathe than pounds, if you observe the recommended dilution rate and never had an...

Volatility in Russia is not the cause of pushing up energy pricing. Especially when 80% of what we pay is tax and we pay huge levees and subsidies for renewables - if renewables are so cheap then why are we paying huge subsidies and levee's? The energy market has always been volatile and we've...

Problem with hydrogen, just like batteries, is energy density. Energy density trumps efficiency any day. BMW did a demonstration vehicle to show what a hydrogen car of the future might be...they took a BMW 7 series, a pretty large vehicle, took out the back seats reducing such a huge vehicle to...

Most of my grain comes from malt miller ready crushed and I find my gravities are pretty spot on to Brewfather predictions (within a small number of points) and pretty consistent. How are you measuring your gravity? I've found cheap hydrometers to be pretty rubbish, though the error is usually...

Yeah and even the foundation of the recommended units of alcohol is not really based on science either. Politicians know that every year they will want the option of increasing duty on alcohol...like the motorist, those indulging in drinking are easy targets to keep squeezing for more and more...

Don't think this is true is it? Though there are plenty of calories in beer there is very little sugar and if anything the lower ABV beers have more sugar than higher ABV beers. The residual carbs in beer are mostly or exclusively complex carbs which don't cause the same amount of stress and in...

LPG is a classic example of a lost opportunity. Gas is alot alot alot cleaner than oil. The US has seen huge CO2 emissions reduction over recent years and it's mostly from their transition from oil to shale gas. Moving to LPG for cars would be a very beneficial interim step and relatively low...

thanks got one of those for my 3-pin run devices like pumps and chillers, but my brew kit runs off 32a commando sockets. Brewkit will use a a few fair few KW over a short time, but running a glycol chiller and a couple of fridges constantly over time will consume more over time...so wanted to...

Utter nonsense. Oil companies are investing hundreds of billions of pounds inventing new renewable and clean technologies to enable net zero. They are key to achieving net zero and demonising them is shooting yourself in the foot.

The reality is that there will be a mix of different powertrains going forward. Battery EV's have their place as do hybrids and good old ICE is not going away no matter how hard politicians try to rig things to coerce people and take away their freedom of choice. The reality is that ICE cars...

Or just take a post connector with a length of hose into a bottle of sanitiser.

I'm surprised a new law is needed and the current laws already in place suite of laws don't cater for this like they have before. I was at school during the '80's when Rambo came out and there was an obsession with Rambo knives as they were called then...differnt name, same thing. And there was...
