Another typical day in sToryland then!! Some people are incapable of honest argument and discussion, they twist things around and manipulate the narrative to make it look like you are the one who is being unreasonable. I tend to find that it is people who vote conservative who do this, not all...

I tried cycling with headphones in once, absolutely horrendous experience... terrifying! Never ever again!

Interesting article, and the results sound great thumb. The only thing I would add that I am increasingly aware of, is that the regionality of beer could be related to water perhaps? It is certainly the case with the Burtonisation of water to brew english IPA and the soft water required for...

hehe... remember that you are creating the perfect medium and perfect temperature to grow micro bugs! The whole point is to create that perfect environment and make absolutely sure that the only 'bug' to get into your wort is the yeast. It is always impossible to be absolutely *sterile*, that...

I had covid last year, everything tasted like ****! Easy night tonight after my indulgences through the week, just one of the Redneck Double IPA thumb.

I would say absolutely not if the toilet is used... I mean... eeeewwww!!! https://www.studyfinds.org/what-happens-when-you-flush-with-toilet-lid-up/

How curious!!! Hope it is okay for you :)

That's yeast isn't it? All nicely clumped together floating on the surface, just after pitching? A dried packet right?

In all seriousness, I quit driving because it just isn't any fun any more. I am quite sure I have compensated for 35 years of smoking by the reduction in stress levels and walking everywhere! Win win... win win!

Thanks, if I ever get a car again (highly unlikely in the foreseeable future) I will give it a go! I am pretty sure I already know the techniques as I was taught them at the beginning of my driving, but can always learn more I guess.

No, of course not. That's not what I meant, the advanced driving techniques give you more reaction time because your degree of awareness is that much more extensive, I was shocked at the difference it made, at least double, probably more depending on the circumstances. I haven't done the course...

To balance this out a little, all emergency service drivers have to do an advanced driving course and most members of the public don't bother!

Welcome!!! That's a shame. I just scrub everything with soft non-abrasive brushes then rinse, twice, then sterilise everything with sodium percarbonate for 20 minutes, swishing everything around every 5 minutes. Just a quick thought, is the temperature of your kit right when you add the yeast...

I am not even sure I am arguing against them, just thought it was interesting. Honestly, I am not really into cars, so I have no idea, the last car I had was an VW Golf that didn't have central locking hehe, I (d-)evolved beyond car use a long time ago. In comparison to my peers, I am...

Hehe sure, but the thread is about banning petrol diesel cars and I don't believe there are any EVs that are not computerised? Does it matter? It's still in interesting angle on EVs in my opinion. Happy to hear of any EVs that are not computerised, are there any?
