    all grain queries for a beginner

    Mashing dark malts could potentially give a treacly taste. Which malts were in the recipe? Some people add the roasted malts just at the final 10 minutes of the mash for this reason. Start simple I say until you get a feel for the processes. Single malt, single hops, something like a pale or...

    Safale S33

    I like it, it seems to be a low attenuator apparently, used it in my low abv beer and finished very quick.

    Higher stout consumption driven by female drinkers

    20mph Wales: Some roads to revert to 30mph after backlash

    I've seen several residential roads in England randomly being dropped to 20mph, I've been trying to stick to it but its painfully slow... and this is coming from someone who enjoys narrowboating at 4mph. The only way I can realistically stick to it is by using the cruise control with gritted...

    Live on a canal boat...

    All being well, I'll be living on this in a few days. Already had it craned, surveyed, blacked, just need to pay up the remainder. It's a 45 ft cruiser stern, 35hp Beta Marine 4 cylinder diesel

    I received my postal vote today

    I registered for postal voting years ago at my parents' house as I have no regular address. I thought number 9 was strange. The way I interpret this is that you're allowed to commit voting fraud, but it's limited to only doing it 5 times 🤣
