Totally agree. Ress-Mogg doesn't think that paid holidays should be a right - says a bloke whose life has been handed to him by a rich daddy.

Agreed - that is where my mindset is I think - I have worked all my life apart from one period when I was unemployed, and by nature I don't like "doing nothing". I would find that ending up getting cold and wet digging up potatoes to feed people that have no interest in helping but who are...

Definitely! Lets do something soon!

I am doing a Systems Thinking course and some of my fellow students are interested in and/or proponents of the Anti-Work movement/idea. This is a rejection of the "capitalist" system that forces people to work to earn enough to eat so that you can go to work. It does seem to be mainly younger...

Anyone like to guess which beers are made with which malt just from the picture? :?: Your starter for ten is that Munich is the yellow crown cap...

I like both GP and MO as they are both heritage malts and give more flavour in my opinion in beers that need that maltiness - I have also tried Chevalier but did find that a bit stronger in flavour and less convertible but maybe shouldn't have used it at 100% of the base. I think Munich is good...

What type of brewer are you at the moment?

A few years ago I did an experiment, brewing five smash beers with five different malts: Maris Otter Munich Vienna Lager Belgium Pale Ale Malt The hops were all the same (can't remember what now) and the yeast was US05. In this picture you can see the dark one and that is the Munich malt. For...

Wow that was a long while ago! There are two of us brewers in Hemel so happy to hook up!

Just bought one - looking forward to using it in anger when I finish my current grain sack.

I may have lost mine.

Also the two biggest banks in Scotland are no longer Scots owned so you will need to start afresh to manage your own currency.

An economy based on oil in a world devesting itself of oil is like putting all your cash on the success of a new world colony, coupled with the fact that you will need your own currency or be tied to someone else's economic success or failure by using the pound or Euro. Greece has found out that...

Not really incredible its logical - three events made by politicians over promising. You are focussing on Iraq as a war and Scotland Independence as something completely different. They are in what the processes are/were but that is not my point. People were arguing that Blair knew what he was...

I used the Iraq war because it was an example of a politician creating a story to convince the electorate based on flimsy evidence. Brexit, Iraq war and the proposed sunny uplands of Scottish independence are all examples - things that have similar failed outcomes don't have to be exactly the...

" "ALEX Salmond and other SNP ministers were wrong when they said oil would be a “bonus” not a basis for the Scottish economy after independence, a senior party figure has conceded. Andrew Wilson, who is leading an SNP review updating the case for independence, admitted North Sea income was...

I have some but under their Experiential hop name. I used them with other hops so didn't get all those delicate flavours so have kept the rest for doing a single hopped beer to find out if they match up to the descriptors.

I got mine from Malt miller - I get yeast from CML not hops as yet...are they any good from there?

Thanks I will do!

I think Brexit was a bad idea, I think that the Iraqi war was a bad idea and I also think that Scottish independence is a bad idea - I think i will be right on all three. I use economic and geopolitical reasoning not patronizing ideas to reach this conclusion
