EC-1118 is my "go-to" yeast, It will ferment just about anything to absolute bone dryness. I have fermented apple juice with it to very high strength,But the result has allways tasted like super strong dry white wine. Not at all like cider. Give it a try and see if you like the result.

Well done Chippy,That was an excellent video IF we all went over to this, they would still find a way to hike the prices up a few years down the line. Leaving us with no option but to pay the bills and repay the taxpayers " subsidy "

Up here in Scotland the ground is often frozen solid for weeks at a time. Please don't get me wrong,I am not a green energy denier. When I was young I could stand just about anything. But not anymore these days I really feel the cold.

Yes it will work for at least the time being allotment fox. Five years plus is the data expected lifetime of the lithium back-up batteries.

IN this regard I should also mention "Heat pumps", An apparently "Over unity" device. They do their best work when the outside temperature is sweltering (Just when you don't need any more heat). As it gets colder they come closer and closer to unity. ie electric fires !!!

Tigertim is quite correct,Though it mainly applies to "inductive loads" power company's used to hate this.As the system could be overloaded. Resistive heating has a PF (Power Factor of one,ie ( the best you can get.)). This includes storage heaters and electric fires. But nowadays its become...

Nurses should be well paid.Nowadays they have to pass exams,Which at one time in the past would have qualified them as doctors with the commensurate salary. Done on the cheap as per usual !!!!

I commend foxy for being smart with his energy use. However according to latitude Britain is sub-polar,Which means in the past folk kept warm with open fires burning anything to hand in order to have affordable heat which least kept one room of the house warm Nowadays "Omincorp" is screwing...

They SHOULD credit you..But I am not certain they will. Every trick in the book is used to maximize profit ,Fairness don't come into it In these turbulent times your existing credit will count for very little. If you have the energy (no pun intended )Make sure you don't lose out Not even to...

I lived through the various strikes of the 70s, Caused massive unrest. NO political view should be allowed to reign supreme without proper checks and balances. Nazi Germany is a good example of how politicians can manipulate a people.!!! Look how all that ended.!!

What is wrong with fairness, and decency for all.?? If Starmer can deliver is another question altogether Aping Boris or Liz is not going to do that though,

My parents got an air frying pan years ago,Found it rusting in the garage when i had the sad duty of clearing out their home. However today's self contained units are a different story. These mini steamers and fryers can cook delicious (and healthy food ) Well worth the investment.

I dont make this.So this is just an observation. As Lisa MC says the youtube vid was indeed a bit of an oups up. Yeast needs nutrient which makes fermenting sugar/water solutions not so simple as it first appears.Unless that which may not be disscussed here is employed. Its why I stick to...

Got my booster today.Massive que at 9am ( at least 200ft long,) folk going in and strait out. Overheard conversations from folk in the line who had had covid,They said it was due to close contact with kids. None said it was a life or death experince in there opinion due to being double jabbed.

I make ALL my wines and meads to 15-18%abv. At this strength they are for "sipping" rather than "gulping". Plus they "keep" without the aid of sorbates and sulphites.

I did the 7day Solomon Grundy,Oh must be around 20yrs ago now. It took a lot longer than 7days.!!!!!

That as you say Chippy WILL be a real problem. Also folk who live in city centre blocks of flats,

Similar thing at the time going on with roofing, Contractors offering FREE new composite tile roofs as long as they can have the origional slate. If there is money to be made someone will take advantage That is the point I was trying to make,Not to take this thread off track. When I look at the...

Regarding Chippys point about parking. When the council tried to replace the granate kerbstones in my street with cheap precast concrete i checked the deeds, I found that i owned the land and the roads front and back to 1/2way across the road, And all the mineral rights down to the centre of the...

Coz I dont like standing in a busy bar,I used to buy two pints at a time at my local. After a while the barman said to me,You come in on your own so why the two pints,???? For my invisible friend I replied 😁 It worked,!!!! After that my pints started being poured the moment I walked through...
