    Using whisky bottles

    One of my neighbours is a very definite whisky man, and he tends to buy it in half bottles. I've asked him if I can have his empty's, with a view to rinsing them out and then filling them up with a brew. Are there any possible problems with using an old whisky bottle, apart from the savings? So...

    Troubleshooting Home Brewed Beer

    Good info, suggests that there may be a wee whiff of fusel alcohol in the blueberry cider. It tastes pretty good but after reading this, it made me think - and propanol came to mind. Next time I need to be a little more careful with the temperature when the yeast goes in and thereafter.

    'Thieves' knocked off mopeds by police in London

    Very true, but it doesn't stop the middle and upper classes pontificating - while doing nothing useful to cut down the problems that they go on about, incessantly.

    Strawberry Wine 17/11/2018

    I bet that it's not an easy thing to conquer. Not sure why, when your council tax pays for the supply of water, that they can get away with providing so many people with water they don't like, can't drink and don't like having to wash their socks in. Haven't worked out why people up here buy...

    Strawberry Wine 17/11/2018

    I bet that you enjoyed the water you got in Glenkindie, and no doubt it was regularly supplied by clouds that carried the rainfall. You'll miss it now. Sounds like I'd be demanding that Anglian Water come down and clean out their black gunge - and take it away with them. Whether or not they...

    Strawberry Wine 17/11/2018

    I've just noticed what was used along with the kit used here. One of things was Sainsbury's Scottish mountain water and that makes me wonder. Why buy water when your council tax covers the cost of supplying clean and drinkable water? Having said that, I use a lot of water taken from either the...

    'Thieves' knocked off mopeds by police in London

    I wonder how many here that are pandering to the police are just sooking up to them in the vain hope that they'll stay out of jail for a while. Until after Christmas, at least.

    What are you drinking tonight.

    Had a couple of (Very) wee glass"s of gingery beer. Now it's a last glass of blueberry cider and it's smashing. Will do a bit of it again.

    Black Friday Deals?

    Why have anything "Black Friday", the majority of us don't seem to live in America and that's where Black (or blue, green or purple, not to mention pink, orange or any other colour for that matter!!!) Friday comes from - or so they claim, loudly, with a yanky accent.

    Driving while using mobile phones. (hand held)

    I remember the firs mobile phone that I ever saw. 1976 and one of the neighbours picked us all up in Aberdeen and took us down to Edinburgh. We were travelling past Stonehaven and his mobile phone rang, (it must have been one of the VERY first mobile phones), and the first thing he did before he...

    Has temperature data been changed?

    Westminster has never honestly justified any tax that they've taken off us, they've just taken it.
