Yup got it. Thanks matey

The 5 litre growler co2 dispenser. I realised after looking around on the site a bit more. Was tired last night. May have to order one for myself for Xmas

Testing a glass of carrot mead. Then a wee dram of Talisker before bed. Done nothing all day and I. Still feel knackered

This looks awesome. Might have to purchase myself a 5 litre one. But if I buy the growler and the c02 tap will they fit together? Seems if you buy the two bits separately it's cheaper. Or am I missing something?

Unfortunately I see this kind of thing way to much here in gloomy Birmingham. People don't care as there aren't enough police to actually police them. And on these dark mornings now there faces a lit up by the glow from the mobile down at their lap. Others I see with the phone wedged into the...

So I made some plum wine. Had an early glass just and noticed a dark 'oily' layer on the top. Don't taste off. Is this just fuseal alchohol? It's about 14% Just an odd layer of darker stuff floating on the top. Anyone???

It's been about 15-18 degrees under the stairs. Mostly on the lower end which is why I think it may not have finished properly. It went off like a rocket for the first 4 days. But I've not heard a peep from it for the last few days. Edit SWMBO was talking to me.

I've got a half pack of yeast in the fridge with all the other yeasts. It mangrove jacks work horse. I bought the entire stock of OOD yeast from my local homebrew shop after I discovered that it had been discontinued. Should I add a bit more yeast to it to finish it off? It's not bubbling much...

It's dropped nicely of its own accord. Maybe rack it soon but it's still bubbling away very very slowly. Sneaked a wee taste. Tastes just like mead. With no real carrot flavour. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

Did this this morning. Tastes wonderful and has cleared very well. Although I'm still a few points short of the final. It's been quite cold under the stairs so I've moved it upstairs where it's a little warmer. Hopefully it will drop a few more points before I bottle.

Going to rack this into a secondary tomorrow. Or maybe first thing Saturday morn. First chance to have a taste. The paint filter zip tied around the top of the fermenter allowed me to catch a decent amount of trub and hop debris. I've only lost around half a litre instead of the usual 2...

Half way there

If anyone is interested in what I do at work here is a video from the other day. I'm learning a new skill at work as my normal job is casting and soldering pewter. I used to be a mold maker and caster for a resin company making art work and movie props, down to the plastic tat for the masses...

The toe is better by the way. Still quite sore after the cycle to work. A days work and then cycling home. The redness around the joint hasn't gone away either. Guess it's going to be one of those injuries you live with. Like my other leg I smashed to bits as a kid. Or the shoulder I dislocated...

Just looked on Gumtree round my way a man in a tipper transit will drop a ton for 60 quid. I'll pitch in a tenner towards it. 5 more takers? We need a video of it arriving though.

My dear wife bought me this book for our anniversary. Amongst other things that I won't go into.... apart from an adventure day on an inflatable water park thingy in a lake. Which was awesome. Any how. I've got the elements brewing books and a few others that people have gifted me. But this...
