    Slug & Lettuce and Yates's owner to charge more at peak hours

    In Scotland "Happy Hours" were scrapped around Sept 2009. Bars got round the legislation by having happy days. Not the 70's show with the Fonze, but drinks sold a set price for a minimum 72 hrs (3 days) So you could have Happy days Sunday, Monday & Tuesday and up prices for the remainder of...

    Hello From South West Scotland

    BIAB I was keen to read the BIAB thread (Brew in a Bag) because i'd seen several companies trying to get Hipsters to start brewing beer by just adding water to a bag, wait 7 days and it's party time. Think at one time there was a Munstons wherry, and I see some brew in a can adds on amazon...

    Coopers 500ml PET Beer bottles

    I've a set of PET bottles that I've used since 2017. My lessons learned are. 1. When bottling, always do a final wipe and check cap with a towel. 2. They don't like dish washers. The Bottoms pop out. 3. Easier to use than crown bottles if you don't have a bench capper. 4. Now I have a...

    Kits I Wouldn't Brew Again (moved posts)

    Always a panic when your local shop is miles away. Good you got it done :thumbsup: FYI - Caster sugar is just fine Granulated sugar. They do market it as higher quality, but once disolved in water is exactly the same. If your asked for icing or caster sugar and none immedialy available. Use...

    Eggs 🥚

    Unlike Shetlands - Half of which have tufty heads, Give the evil eye if you go near them, sneak off and nest under a bush, and then don't show up for bed time!! Spent over an hour last finding Goldie. Nest with 15 eggs under the bedroom window :mad:

    Kits I Wouldn't Brew Again

    Tinsel Toes - Bought 2 kits las year - Big mistake. "A wintery dark ruby beer with sweet, fruit flavours and hints of Christmas pudding. A smooth fusion of roast malts with rich fruit characterstics ABV - 4.5%" Not what I'd call a Christmas Ale. Had that thin watery taste. No feel. Just a hint...

    Heating Greenhouse in conjunction with Inkbird control

    My Inkbirds operates with loads up to 10A, so you might be pushing the heater load Heater Thermostat - I use a small tube oil heater in my fridge and I just put the thermostate to maximum and control with inkbird. No conflict. Heat Requirement Google Greenhouse heating Calculator to workout...

    Heating Greenhouse in conjunction with Inkbird control

    The question is how big are the plants? Could you pack then into say a small cold frame (inside you greenhouse)? I only have a poly tunnel, so it gets cold. I do have an under soil heating cable for keeping seedling going in the spring. This I cover with a Poly Carbonate cold frame and some...
