    Swing top bottles

    If you keep your beer in clear bottles you need to keep them out of the light as that can taint the beer in them. Most people use brown bottles.

    Swing top bottles

    Wilko sell them but they're clear if I remember correctly.

    Would you still vote for Brexit?

    I voted to Remain originally but in all honesty I'm fed up of hearing about it. Like chopps has said the country voted for it so lets just get on with it and make the best of it. If the pandemic hadn't hit maybe we would be in a better position with it, who knows. It's in everyone's interest...

    Chilling all grain

    Ah yeah I wouldn't want to melt one of those with boiling hot wort. What will you be leaving it in if your cooling overnight?

    Chilling all grain

    Your not going to get a definitive answer on this one I'm afraid. Lots of strong opinions on both sides of the argument. For balance I brewed a Wheat Beer a few weeks ago and chucked it in the FV warm and pitched the yeast the next day and it's fine.

    What are you drinking tonight 2020.

    I can get it locally in Tesco and Asda. Although Wales has hiked up the price of anything tasty.

    Electric Coffee machines (under £100)

    I descaled the baby's Prep machine thing with distilled white vinegar which could be an option for you. Never descaled or cleaned my espresso machine I bet it's right manky now.

    New phone time!

    Seems an unreasonable amount of data to rob off you though. I've got the Honor 10 Chinese spyphone plus edition and it's got all that integrated Google stuff and I never go over 4gb of data in a month.

    Polytunnel

    We're not part of the allotment society as far as I know. I know very little apart from the account I chuck the £60 In to be honest then it's every man for himself after that. No water or services of any kind on site. It's fallen into disrepair over the years but when I was a kid it was...

    Polytunnel

    Ah great thanks. My allotment is more of a one man and his dog affair. Although we rent off the council he runs everything with little to no help from the council. But I could ask a few other plot holders of they want to club together and get some bulk stuff.

    Polytunnel

    Just out of curiosity where does everyone get there seeds from? Only started up my allotment last year but it's coming along to how I would like it to be now and I want to have a good go next year. Currently got Leeks in the ground waiting for spring for them to fatten up, a few Swedes and some...

    New phone time!

    John, you could have just turned the mobile data off which would stop it using data. You would lose all other online functions but it would solve your problem. But as it's now filed under B I wouldn't worry haha.

    New phone time!

    Don't know if you've bought a phone yet Clint but the Money Saving Expert sent a mail round last night with a tool to find the cheapest phones at the best deals etc. Just answer a few questions about what you want and it reccomends some to you. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/

    Electric Coffee machines (under £100)

    I had a Dolce Gusto machine a while back with the pods but stopped using it. Think I just found instant coffee easier.

    Best drink drunk?

    Bottle of Amstel in the garage after a strenuous 12 hour night shift on a summers morning. Slept like a log after.

    First All Grain BIAB

    I did the same on my first BIAB and was worried but at the end of 2 weeks fermentation I left the FV overnight in the garage to 'Cold Crash' and the beer was amazingly clear. Well as clear as a dark beer can be. I didn't leave the hops in though as you say you have, I put them in a small...

    Are these Sloes?

    They look very much like sloes to me. Can't think of much else that would still have fruit on it this time of year.

    Greg Hughes recipes

    I've just taken the lid off the fermenter of GH Weissbier after 11 days and it's from 1038 down to 1002. Missed the numbers and a little less in the fermenter than I wanted but Its only my second try at BIAB so I'll take it. The yeast worked really well too considering I broke all the rules and...

    Bottle Conditioning

    Fair enough. No shaking haha. There's a small ring of what I assume is yeast around the bottom of the bottle so if I can gently disturb that we should be in business. When I opened the first bottle there was a release of pressure so there's some level of carbonation going on maybe I just hadn't...
