Q: How do you know if someone is vegan? A: Don’t worry, they’ll tell you within the first 2 minutes of meeting them. This is a good joke, but it ignores the fact that non-vegans think more about vegans than vegans do, as this thread has demonstrated 😄 Sincerely, A non-vegan

Sounds delicious! Look forward to finding out

I love many kveik strains, but I can't think of a good use of Voss for anything. As many have said, it creates a strong orange flavour, and as I have said before IMO it strips out all of the malty backbone of the beer, making it taste thin like an orange squash, and accentuating the bitterness...

My understanding is that Starsan, as well as sanitising surfaces while still wet/foamy, creates an inhospitable environment for bacterial growth even when it has dried out. So I: - Circulate chemclean through my CFC for about 20 mins while I'm cleaning out my pumps, boil kettle, mash tun etc -...

That's really interesting - I'm in a very similar position regarding a brewing hiatus. I have just relaunched my own brewery after nearly two years as part of a house-move garage conversion and did my first brew last week. I have been documenting the process and I will post it as a separate...

It's refreshing - even genuinely touching, especially online, to have a conversation which started off with two people coming from two very different positions, bordering on antagonistic, ending up this way. You have given me plenty of food for thought too. Honestly, this debate has shaken me...

This started off as a short reply. Sorry 😂 I wouldn't confuse incompetence and greed with an unwillingness to implement right-wing policy. There has been, and increasingly will be, a strong desire to pander to ultra-conservative values to get them out of a sticky political situation caused...

You can't think of a right-wing Conservative policy? This Conservative party? I am missing context for which I apologise, but do you think they are not being right-wing enough?

Thanks for your own reply! I love a good debate, even if (sometimes, especially if) I feel like my views are in the minority within a community. I am ultimately minded to agree with you on Labour on motorists, if only because they don't seem to have waded into the manufactured culture war on...

Compared with the traditional centre -ground long since abandoned by the British political establishment, here are a few very recent examples: - Refusing to vote to support a ceasefire to prevent thousands of civilian casualties in a one-sided 'war' - Abstaining from a vote for a fatal motion...

LOL Labour are currently trying to outflank the Tories on the far right.

Depends whether you believe he is: An honest, innocent man who has been hauled over the coals by malicious liars; or Whether you think that on balance he was probably extremely relieved as the very small number of accusations made against him which the prosecution felt actually capable of...

Despite being both "tried by the media" and tried in the courts he was still found technically innocent of any crime? Seems like it worked out pretty well for him. It's almost as if trial by media didn't prejudice him. Well huh.

What's really, really important here is that women (and girls, can't believe we are still living in a world where I have to type this) do know that allegations have been made and that people are taking them seriously. It doesn't matter how many years after the fact it was - if only one woman...

This sort of post exemplifies exactly why the political future of this country is on the rubbish heap. The deeply-ingrained, post-feudal mindset of the British voter that we really need to be voting for people who are somehow superior to us, like our social betters will see us right, as they...

Do you honestly, honestly expect this to ever happen? Big business and oil in particular has a stranglehold on Western politics, and the UK is no exception. Do you think any of the major civil rights successes won globally over the last century would have been achieved by simply 'getting elected'?

It's going to take a lot of protests, and perhaps a lot more extreme versions of the protests we are already seeing, before meaningful change becomes an inevitability. Re the point about suffragettes above - they started off with fairly low-key protests and lobbying. Yes some groups went...

This debate hinges entirely on whether one can happy to watch the world burn and for millions, possibly billions, of people to die or be displaced. I, for one, can't imagine anyone with children and/or grandchildren being anything other than 100% behind all and any attempts to decarbonise as...

Ah I'm glad we're on the same page :) honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if you had been entirely in earnest (not a reflection on you, just some of the general messages by the community I have seen round these 'ere parts!) As Sir Norman of Nowhere recently posted on twitter - "if in the...

You do us a disservice! Personally I'm extremely left wing and I'm not remotely interested in abusing you :D On one fundamental level I really don't care about the environment, despite being very sad about what we have done and are continuing to do. Why? Well, because I don't have kids and one...
