Thanks for your replies. I know I’m going to have to research it more, it’s nice to get a rough idea before the time comes to see if it is manageable though!

The original idea was to get into making cider too as my brother has an apple tree we are going to use as well so it would (hopefully) get some yearly use. Is there anything else like enhancers I need or a particular yeast?

Hi everyone, Seeing as my brewshed is going to be up and running soon, one of the construction guys that has been digging out my garden has a variety of apple trees in his orchard and has promised me a knock on the door in September (in exchange for some cider). I have no idea what to do or...

I smoked a pork shoulder on my charcoal BBQ this evening, once both sides nicely sealed chucked a load of hickory chips on the coals and cooked it for 2 hours. Smoke ring on the meat was incredible

Should just let UKIP take the credit for the leave vote, let them take credit for whatever they want. Then when it actually all happens and they no longer have seats in the EU and no seats here then they can drift off in to nothingness.

Get the “do sourdough” book by Andrew Whitely and use the seeded loaf recipe in there. All you need to do is rinse the grain to get rid off any off flavours and stick it in the dough (no need to soak) at the ratio of 2:1 (dough to grain).

If you’re going to drill you might as well drill the drain hole and widen it, just make sure you check for internal parts around the hole. Someone else on the forum (can’t remember who to credit them) said that when drilling the side of fridge or freezer turn it on and put a bowl of hot water...

Have you got various ones from different stages? If you’ve got some of the older ones and tried them all over again it should be easier to pin point what you consider is wrong with them. Definitely think sending a few samples to someone on here who has been brewing longer then us mere mortals is...

Any movement, action etc that is designed to promote rights is a good thing. It’s made the subject come into discussion everywhere; even on a home brew/beer forum.... job done.

Amazing how quickly these threads move.... I am not saying that every single human being seeking asylum is going to be able to on our beautiful little island. However, if ALL countries who are in a position (grey area I know) to support Asylum did so then we wouldn’t need this thread at all...

The president released his statement (on Twitter of course) by offering his condolences and in the same tweet saying no one should feel unsafe in an American school. Maybe guns should be looked at??!

I always end up wishing I hadn’t read the thread or commented in the first place on ones like this.... I don’t see how anyone can justify denying another human being a safe(r) place to live or the chance to feed their family. The fact that the system is abused etc by a minority shouldn’t make a...

I find it really hard to think that I would deny someone coming from a hideous place access to the same services I get just because I was lucky enough to be born here and not in some foresaken hole in the desert.

Andrew Dornoch-Bowler would be mine.

No to death penalty, too many ifs and buts whether it is a certain case or not. However.... if the cause of the OP is due to the cost, how about take away the millions of pounds in privileges and make prisoners earn their keep? Make prison a prison instead of a gladiator camp for criminals.

There are already certain stipulations that enable gifts to be given that means they get written off by a probate court. First house, first car, birthdays etc all fall outside the amount that count towards the inheritance tax limit. There are also quite a few pension products out there that...

I’m 28 and under no illusions I need to invest wisely and make sure I can support myself. By the time I get there the national pension age will be 90 (if there is still one) but the way they’re pushing life ISA’s etc they’re shaping up for a big overhaul anyway. Let’s hope they don’t close the...

I do understand there are some people that suffer in silence and feel better for a bit before going back to normal and feeling even better. I just don’t like being told the various ways my horrible meat eating and beer guzzling ways upset need to change because of upsetting the cosmos.

Just letting off steam..... I am sick of reading about the various Fads people are putting themselves through in January and feel compelled to preach to everyone about. If they feel like torturing themselves for a whole month then it should be done in silence. So today I am going to...

Looks like a beautiful place.
