Hey all, I don't know when this started happening but basically it seems my SS Brewtech unitank has started losing pressure. I have a CO2 line hooked up to the blow off tube which was set to 15PSI on the gas regulator and was showing just slightly less than that on the unitank pressure gauge...

By that logic, Turkey should take every single asylum seeker. I mean, they already take over 3 million if the figures are correct. This "first safe country" nonsense is exactly that.

It's hard to tell at times on such subject matter! 🙂 I'll take that on board.

They're not getting 5 star lodgings. Or 4 star. Or probably 3 star. Anyone who says they are, are being willingly deceitful and those who believe them... I've got some snake oil for sale. Roll up, roll up!

Saturday Kitchen guests have got crap taste!

And again, there are reasons why they wouldn't stay in France, of which you've been given a number of reasons.

What do you consider as illegal? Because seeking asylum isn't illegal. And being denied asylum isn't illegal either. You'd have to leave the country if your asylum application is denied, which I suppose is fair enough, but none of that process is illegal. Unless when you arrive by a small boat...

I don't think a nation hosting asylum seekers as well as people from that nation seeking asylum elsewhere is mutually exclusive.

First one I've had of that type from Cantillon - mostly had the Oude Gueuze and the like, and honestly it's one of the best beers I've had some time. Absolutely superb.

Comparatively speaking, from where they're from it IS the land of milk and honey. As for taking our fair share... In 2022, Turkey took 3.6 million, Iran 3.4 million, Columbia 2.5 million, Germany 2.1 million, France 612,000, Poland 900,000 etc. etc. The UK took 328,000. Do we take our fair...

There's a number of reasons why asylum seekers might want to come to the UK over France. Perhaps they speak English and not French. Perhaps they have friends/family/other connections here. And besides which, most of them DO stay in the first safe country they reach, which in many cases is...

I've dissed crocs ever since they came onto the market and now I find myself having to eat humble pie. I bought a pair (I had a weak moment) and honestly, despite the ridiculousness of the things, they're the most comfy shoes I've ever owned. I wouldn't have more than a single pair and I would...

Probably makes sense for those seeking asylum. It's dangerous and risky trip. The women are subjected to rape, abuse, exploitation. If these men have families, then I'd hazard a guess that they're looking to protect their families until they're established in a country that accepts their asylum...

The processing of asylum seekers is clearly very inefficient. They need to fix that and get more people processing asylum seekers. I'm sure this isn't difficult, it just needs some resources throwing at it. But given how inefficient the government is at pretty much anything and how they like to...

This the other night, which was an absolute belter. I bought this in May when I went over to Brussels and visited Cantillon. And this last night at the pub which was smashing. I'm not the biggest fan of Salt beers, I always find them a little underwhelming although they have the odd one here...

You can't really go wrong with US05 for hoppy/pale ales and S04 for maltier/darker beers. Given the right environment, those yeasts will behave themselves very well.

I've used Brew UK a fair bit in the past, mainly for tri clamp parts which they used to do quite a selection of and a 7gal unitank. They were always pretty good and prompt when I've placed orders. For me, I had a good experience with them but seems when it goes wrong, it really goes wrong which...

New release from Balance Brewing and Blending - Clingstone. Wild Ale with second use damsons fermented with kveik and saison yeast. A lot going on in this one.

Resurrecting another old thread. After dabbling with the Brewtools sparge manifold, I've decided to give a go and just using a silicone hose. When I had a Grainfather, I did just this - the recirculation was through a silicone hose and I got great efficiency. Sparging I just kept a few cm of...

Got a B150 and a B40. Neither of which I take apart and put back together more than maybe once every 10 brew days. Everything gets CIP cleaned. All the triclamps and valves etc. stay where they are until the next brew day.
