    Whats everyone drinking?

    Tesco's. I'm working away in Newbury at the moment. That's where I first found it but I think they sell it at all large Tesco's. Want me to bring a couple back? :drink: :thumb: Also picked-up from Waitrose's a few others not tried or available back home. Exmoor Beast, Exmoor Gold, St...

    THIS IS WHY WE SANITISE

    Seen that one a few weeks ago. They've obviously got so stoned they couldn't be arsed to barrel/bottle it. Serves them right. Bloody hippies !!! (Forget I had long hair when I was a student. Take it back) :lol: :lol:

    Turbo yeast

    I also asked this question at a HBS and she said it not to use it on its own was for stills only. Use only the high alcohol yeasts that specify you can ferment then add a flavour eg Whisky, White Rum etc Perhaps it produces some nasty alcohols that can only be boiled off in the controlled...

    Big Kenny by Wez

    The "Butterscotch" I believe is Diacetyl, seen as a flaw in some beers (lagers) and desired in others. Something to do with the yeast and is why Lagers are supposed to have a "Diacetyl" rest. to let the yeast "eat" it up. I think Aleman would be the Lager brewing expert around here. I just...

    help with youngs country definitive

    Have to agree. Just follow the instructions. No need to rack until you've done everything on the instructions, let it clear and then rack carefully. Once racked then leave for a day or two or if all the racked wine is clear then transfer straight to bottles. The racking will only make sure...

    Computer virus.....help

    Just thought :hmm: :hmm: Are you using the machine using the administrator logon or privileges ?? Maybe you should setup a logon with reduced privileges as this is one of the ways viruses can still get about more easily. It's a bit of a pain installing programs as you have to type in the...

    Computer virus.....help

    I also use Avast on Windows machines and it's done me fine. My best solution was to run a dual booting machine and use Linux Mint http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php when I don't need to use Windows, which is most of the time for all the things required except when only a windows program is...

    dvd decoder

    I cannot recommend this more. VLC (VideoLan) is just the smallest best software for playing any media type. It's not flash with a GUI interface but just WORKS!! I found it whilst looking for the best player for Linux Mint and it just did the job. On my Windows machines I only use it as I...

    Turbo Cider

    My neighbour likes Cider so I gave him half a pint of TC yesterday. He thought it was that good, he wants a couple of Cornies from Norm and is getting 25L of AJ tomorrow as well as Cider yeast. I donated him a fermenting bucket. Looks like I may have got a newbie brewer on the block. :thumb...

    lager books

    I'd be very careful assuming that they all drink crappy high volume USA Lager. :nono: The USA has some of the World's best Craft Brewers and believe me some of their beers are fantastic. Almost every State has a raft of microbreweries that supply their bars, pubs and there are also quite a...

    Kate Rusby

    I went to a local "Unplugged" gig about 14-15 years ago and Show of Hands headlined. I'd obviously never heard of them but by the second song I thought they were great. I bought the CD's next time I went to the bar to make sure they didn't sell out. Here's some links...
