    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    So starting with an amazing 5% NZ pale from beerriff. So much flavour for a 5% beer awesome. Then my dipa-matic solution a 7.74% NZ beerriff inspired DIPA. I'm stoked I nailed it. It's immediately on the rebrew list despite 300g of pellet hops in 18 litres. Then a weird yet strange and...

    Electric cars.

    the sprinkler would have reduced the damage is his assessment it's not going to stop an EV battery fire, barriers would also have contained the spread and they generally don't need 'maintenance'. unfortunately the majority of multistory car parks were built before the increased fire intensity...

    Used a lot of this in a previous job. it is a fact that lithium ion battery chemistry makes a fire they are involved in harder to extinguish. their chemistry means they generate their own oxygen to keep the fire going once started. with other fire types co2 or foam work. so on the risk matrix...

    @Chippy_Tea 1:50 of a 5 min video of a 5:35 video, the pedant in me says thats less than half way :laugh8:. He's just going through the chain of events and covers everything including ways to mitigate against this. Any car park with an out of order fire suppression system should be closed to...

    Extract to start

    Favorite Beer Styles Discussion

    I like most styles apart from penny pinching mass produced pap. the cheapest beverage you can have should be water because no extra ingredients required? But brewers please don't try to get to that level of costs it's going to end up like er , well water asad. there are a lot of meh modern...

    Huw Edwards' BBC pay increased by £40,000 last year

    I used to 'police' the IT image filter as IT manager at a previous job. one or two images I did have to look into the law to see if they were illegal. when I introduced the filter I gave all staff prior warning in line with the IT usage policy everyone singed up to and all new staff were...

    Charlotte Dujardin pulls out of Paris Olympics

    I'm sad but glad to have heard this. So I'll not watch dressage anymore. What about other horse sports? hitting any animal (unless you are under attack from one to defend yourself) is never a kind thing. To do it in the name of sport is abhorrent.

    British Hops

    I've had a few beers that give that oniony taste (not my own) and with the odd bit of umami from some dead yeast remind me of steak and onions. The beerriff brewer did mention a certain hop was more prone to that but I forgot what it was because I thought , well I'm not going to use that.
