    Brewferm old Belgian brown no head

    330ml bottles helped to ration myself with it...

    Brewferm old Belgian brown no head

    It’s hard but the difference is incredible. I put mine in some milk crates at the back of the garage out of the way and left them there. I did sample a bottle every couple of months, that way it almost encouraged me to not touch them because it was obviously getting better. I would definitely...

    Brewferm old Belgian brown no head

    My advice is leave it to condition, and then leave it some more. The Christmas kit benefited from being left for a year and just got better and better.

    Drug cheats. [Poll]

    Ive put lifetime ban because there needs to be lifetime bans. There’s always going to be the need for medical exemptions and I think it would be hard to ban someone for life for taking something someone else is allowed to use for a medical reason.

    Anyone heard of this before? Concerned about a scam...

    When I said their printing is average it is good enough for what I want and I use them for my caps. They’ve got better each time I’ve bought some and their website and what is on offer from them is improving all the time too. The phone case deal is just to try and get traffic through their...

    Anyone heard of this before? Concerned about a scam...

    I had the email from them and have had some bottle caps from them too. They’re printing is average but the offer is real.

    Old hops - getting back on/off the homebrew wagon

    Nothing in the recipe that looks offensive to me (in my very limited experience) and should be tasty. As for the hops, you will get very different opinions on freshness of hops, how long after picked they get dried/frozen etc. Just use them and see what happens. In my personal opinion I think...

    Ben Stokes not Guilty ????

    Apparently CPS filed the wrong charge (affray) and left it until after the legal deadline to add secondary charge, (I know nothing about legal system) So that’s trial finished. Straight back in the side after so I doubt ECB will be able to do anything otherwise they should have kept him under...

    Local accents.

    Never really make chips... I always cut the spuds in to chunks and roast them with a block of butter in the oven. Eggs are in oil in a cast iron pan used only for eggs though.

    NHS "Phone 111 Service"

    Whilst ever there are humans answering the phone or being part of the process, there will be human error. No matter what the procedures and monitoring fail-safes. It is horrible when that affects a loved one (I know from personal experience too) but the people involved work damn hard and are...

    NHS "Phone 111 Service"

    I’ve used it numerous times through work and for my daughter. It’s all done on a risk assessment that assesses the risk and then places in the line of people, same as A and E. Sometimes they get it wrong, other times they are woefully understaffed and only human.

    Beer52.com

    I did the 2.95 deal and the beers weren’t too bad. Wouldn’t pay full whack for it though!

    Strawberry and lime cider

    https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/cider-from-aldi-100-natural-apple-juice.77453/ It’s all in the above. Enjoy!

    Strawberry and lime cider

    There was another thread somewhere I read relatively recently that was talking about different ciders made, I’m rubbish at searching but might be worth a try.

    Staycation.

    I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

    Sewage pipe

    As others have said, (as far as I was aware/told) it’s your responsibility until it reaches someone else’s property OR a juction. However, if you are still in your guarantee period with the builder the utilities company may not have adopted the full responsibility yet if the pipe has been put...

    Courgette cake...

    Do you preserve/pickle any of your leftovers? I’ve seen quite a few recipes for a kimchi style veg mix with courgette, carrot etc in it somewhere

    Maple Syrup

    If it’s the flavour you want I would use the drops, won’t affect gravity and priming calculations then. Looking forward to seeing how this one goes, maple is one of my favourite flavours and would be incredible in a winter warmer!

    Brewing\pressure barrel?

    For me it depends on the beer. Pressure barrels are good and hassle free for pale ales and bitters as they don’t need too long conditioning and are better with low carbonation. Any of the “big” beers that benefit from conditioning are better in bottles, as are higher carbonation beers such as...

    Maple Syrup

    If you end up using syrup then Aldi’s maple syrup is a nice flavour on waffles so should be ok if you think it’d work in a brew.
