Sorry to hear this, hope you can turn it around. It sounds like a right bloody nightmare.

Then the government burst into the lecture theatre, demanded that the professor hand over 50% of the balls, sand and whatever other **** he'd managed to squeeze in, and on their way out they smashed the glass jar and reminded the prof that there's no point "cleaning the house" as it will soon be...

I know several people who work for the gig economy and they love it. I sort of do the same, although its not quite Deliveroo or Uber. I love it. I don't want a company to look after me. I don't want holidays or sick leave, I can arrange that for myself. Nobody has job security, although many...

I've no idea - Chemistry is something I wasn't allowed to do at school for some reason (crap school). I suppose it must be something to do with the reaction to air, but can't think what! Edit; this might suggest it's simply due to the fact that water is warmer the longer it is left...

I've noticed this. I keep a glass of water by my bedside, on occasions I've forgotten to refresh it and it tastes heavily of chlorine. So it's not necessarily the fridge part causing it.

I have misophonia and it has quite a detrimental affect on day to day living, relationships, family, etc. It sucks. But I'm 100% opposed to a ban. They're not banning to help us misophones out, otherwise there would be many much better starting points. Fat people are going to keep eating come...

I had a strange experience with this kit. It certainly wasn't very red at all, and had a very bland taste; with an aftertaste a bit like water. In fact it was the same colour as the previous IPA kit I did from them, I was wondering if maybe a batch got mis-labelled or mis-boxed. The only thing...

But the question is really should hands free mobile use when driving be banned? I think the question of hands-on use is pretty well settled. If it's so distracting to talk on a mobile hands-free that lifes are at risk then we also need to take a serious look at whether listening to the radio or...

I'm about the worst person to judge tastes, but to me it [the extract] just imparts sour grapefruit taste as you'd expect, didn't notice any bitterness over and above the underlying beer. I got some basic IPA and added a fraction of a millilitre to a pint and experimented over a few days until...

Understood. But they never say "extract" on the ingredients. Same stuff as I'm using then. I notice it (the pink grapefruit extract) says it is now stronger so the full bottle is probably way overkill for a 20L batch.

I'm sure they've changed the commercial recipe in the last couple of years, it's too treacly and chemical-y (sorry I'm not good at describing flavours) for me now. I've done their DIY recipe a few times now and it's always been great - much better than commercial. There's no way they use real...

I would looooove a motorhome, I'd never be able to park it though. I can image when I'm retired I might end up living permanently in a motorhome. Thanks for the park4night tip.

Good luck with it. You certainly won't miss bottling ;-) As I mentioned in my posting last year, make sure you've got a crimper for the hose clamps and a good adjustable wrench on hand. Maybe even get yourself a box of assorted clamps if you haven't already. I never did work out what the...

3) bars and PSI yes.

It's horses for courses - I'd never get a caravan stored here, it's like Coronation Street (with parked cars) where I live. Luckily I don't need a car anymore, I only "need" a vehicle for going to lake and peak district fell races so the idea is a camper is a way to tick that box, with the bonus...

Not a lot to add from my earlier post, it's expensive and leaves something to be desired but I wouldn't be without it. At the time I bought it I wouldn't have had the time to DIY, now I've a bit more time on my hands, if I had to replace it for any reason...I'd not want to pay the same again so...

Great advice, many thanks!

I'm still circling around it. My deadline is October but I need to get cracking about now. As I'm just buying for myself I've a much smaller requirement and budget, so I'm thinking a Bongo in the sub 10k region.

Bumping this to find out from @uDicko - did you buy one yet?

Don't know how I missed this - if it's still happening I'm in please.
