    Sold 3 x iffy condition tall Corny Kegs

    You beat me fair and square, what a quick reply! If an arrangement with phildo doesn't work out can I call dibs on a second option? For what it's worth I work near reading too.

    No rinse sanitizers

    I get a chalky precipitate with percarbonate, but I also get it with Chemsan (a UK available equivalent of Starsan). I always rinse the percarbonate out, the Chemsan is no rinse though, never had any issues with it as far as I know.

    The downfall of the Tory party.

    Honestly the only way they could ruin the NHS any quicker would be burning down some hospitals. But even that might mean they'd actually build some new ones... Indeed. And it's not even a funny joke, imagine getting all this attention and no one probably even laughed along when you made it. Big...

    Hazy IPA.. not especially hazy

    When I dry hop I just bung the bagged hops in the keg when I'm transferring the beer, and they stay there till the keg is empty. I've tried adding the dry hop in primary to take advantage of the biotransformation, but to my palate I can't tell any difference 😅 The Verdant IPA you can buy dry...

    Hazy IPA.. not especially hazy

    I make a lot of hazy beers which tend to stay hazy over a few months. I usually only have a token addition of hops in the boil (10g in 20L) but usually ~200-300g of hops as a dry hop. Approx 10% of the grain bill as wheat or oats (current preference is wheat malt). Typically 1 hour mash and 30...

    What's for breakfast?

    Today was pancakes as it's the weekend, although most weekends it's what we call 'the usual', which is bacon eggs and toast. Week days are mostly Weetabix.

    Amen brother. That's a motto we should all adhere to! Also I'm having pizza again tonight, hah!

    The Homemade Pizza Thread

    Recently treated myself to an Ooni after months and months of saying I couldn't justify it. Think I've cooked about 30 pizzas in as many days on it, and it's been worth every penny. Cooking pizza in the oven on a steel still works fine and I imagine I'll move back to that over the winter, but...

    Huge head on latest brew

    The nerd in me says it could be something weird like the proteins from your saliva in the "washback", or some grease from your face/lips that are acting like a surfactant and helping prevent excess foam from forming. It's also possible your bottling wasn't perfectly consistent so you're just...

    As the world gone mad

    Quote: One patient shared a picture of the form online where its options included “male (including trans man)”, “female (including trans woman)”, “non-binary”, “other (not listed)” or “not stated”. If anyone gets upset by this they need to give their head a wobble.

    1st time keg user….FOAM!

    I use 2m of 3/16 line with a party tap, fridge is at 2'C, pressure approx 15psi. The occasional pint is foamy but if you rinse the glass to wet the surface, and pour carefully down the side it works for me. For me the restriction of the 3/16 line was the gamebreaker.

    Ukraine: Russia has launched 'full-scale invasion'

    Got a suggestion for why then? You think it's a NATO attack? Or a malfunction?
