All of which is interesting, most notably because lots of commercial beers (and probably most wines) are fined with isinglass and you'll never see it on the ingredients list. Why? Because it's not an ingredient technically. The point being that you put it in, then take it out again so it...

Meh.

Ideally a triple with all the gauges as that's what my dispense system will ultimately be based on. But if anyone has a cheap single with two gauges that would be awesome. That way I can keg the beers I have coming ready this week and serve two with a gas line t-piece as they don't need...

There is nothing wrong with a wee BIAB sparge! I don't just because I'm really lazy and I can't be bothered reworking all my mash volumes!! :lol:

You need at least 90 mins for a BIAB. I sometimes push it to 3 hours if I'm not getting the gravity I want... Normally it's 90 + 10 mins mashout though.

Went to the local 'spoons for the first time for a burger a lunchtime and the had Hill Climb on. "Nice lunchtime beer," thinks I, "at only 3.8%". To be honest, I wasn't ready for this. I was expecting a pretty standard, easy going pale, a thin-ish, thirst-quenching but, you know, a bit...

Hello and welcome! I see you chaps have made the media! :clap:

<devils_advocate> Welcome to the market economy. Your town is clearly populated by the sort of person who doesn't mind paying (or actively likes to pay) silly money for mediocre beer in mediocre pubs. They are like that because there isn't enough market to make a different establishment...

Is your local still trading?

Can't say I'm disappointed with my tax cuts...

If it's retained by the pub or small brewer then that's fine by me...

Thanks George!

I use the medium for most things unless I'm doing something that needs masses of malt. Light is just too light IMO.

I really don't know why it's so funny. It just really, really is!

On every level and in every way, yes, it is bonkers.
