Moneyball the film is definitely more about the people, the book focuses on the theory behind the whole process. Basically a Harvard maths genius looks at the baseball stats and thinks people are valuing the wrong things and therefore those things become expensive and un-affordable for the...

The Blind Side - Micheal Lewis Fascinating story about how a middleclass white family took in a child from a black family to play football for their highschool football team. Due to his size and strength and how the NFL game has evolved he was heavily scouted. Interesting human interest story...

Watneys party seven bitter at a party in the local scout hut. As I recall about 2 of the 7 pints ended up on the ceiling when it was opened.

Brupaks beers of the World kits are very good in my opinion. They make 10 litres and the ones I have done come with hops and wood chips that you soak for 15 minutes and add to the fermentor. https://www.brewuk.co.uk/beerkits/single-can-kits/brupaks-beers-of-the-world.html They are not the...

The English press also make the job so difficult I'm surprised anyone would even want the job. Who would put themselves and their family in a position where every 2 bit hack is trying to bring you down. Wasn't that one of the reasons given for Luiz Scolari turned the job down a few years ago?

He did finished with the best win/lose percentage of any England manager in history.

I think that for labour to win power they really need to appeal to more people than they currently do. Corbyn may have received an overwhelming vote of confidence from his party by winning more than 60% of the vote but that was a total electorate of just over 500,000. Nearly 9.5 million...

I know a few people who use Beer 52 - https://www.beer52.com/ They have always seemed pleased with the selection the receive and I think there is an option to buy more of what you like once you have tasted it. There is always a discount voucher for the first month and its often on Groupon...

I made the Richies Raspberry and Lime a while ago as my daughter likes a fruit cider. I thought it was pretty good, she thought it was very good and asked for more. I tried the Magnum Elderflower next for her and that is drinkable but no where near as good as the Richies. Nothing wrong with it...

Having picked a fridge for £15 at the weekend this would be perfect. Please pop my name in the hat too.

Thanks for the info, looking around it seems most people swap the tap on the burco as well as its not easy to fit a strainer so it isn't just a matter of cost. Looks like its a peco for me. Picked up a fridge for £15 today as well on Gumtree so from a kit every month or so it looks like I...

So due to one reason or another that is far to boring to go into I have not been brewing for a while but have been dipping in and out of the forum from time to time. Mainly because I find it interesting, informative and entertaining. I now find I can get back into brewing and having been a...

That is something special, we are clearly a long way behind the times down here in Devon. The big thing at the minute seems to be artisan bakeries which are springing up at a rate of knots. We have a few of those opening in old warehouses. Good for breakfast though, all you can eat toast for...

The deconstructed flat white, soon to be appearing in Shoreditch I expect. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-36423824 I asked my colleague to describe the person who would serve such a beverage and he pretty much got it exactly right except he thought a tartan shirt would have...

I'm pretty certain I saw that on here and saved to favourites. It could have come from JBK though as thats the only other forum I visist but I don't think so.

This was posted a while ago and has some interesting things you can do with Kits. It is Coopers focused but pretty sure the theory, if not the result would be the same with other, similar style kits. http://www.aussiehomebrewing.com/Customize/CustomizeCoopers.html

That would make quite a mess of your beard.....

Not only couldn't one of the candidates tell an IPA from a porter but in the evening in the hotel none of them ordered a beer. That was quite telling about all of them. I don't think any of them were the ideal candidate for any brew company, the fact that it was Brew Dog was unimportant in...

I didn't think James came across that well actually. Loved the idea of getting the workforce involved but when he didn't like the way things were going just pulled the plug. If he didn't like the candidates they shouldn't of been there in the first place.

Just watching Who's the Boss on BBC 2. Three people being interviewed for an area managers job at Brew Dog. One of the applicants wasn't able to tell the difference between a Milk Stout and an IPA. She won't be getting the job..
