    I was not drunk last night

    I once turned up at my brothers house ( he lives in cheshire, I live in bristol) to go with him to a gig in manchester, to be told I'm a day early! I booked 2 days holiday with the firm, so straight after the gig had to drive straight home to be ready to start driving at 6-30 am!

    Covid booster: Who will get another jab this autumn?

    Will get jabbed when the offer is there, with the last outbreak and a high percentage not testing and possibly over 60% positive, aged 57 and with a couple of health issues, more chance of catching it, so why not keep yourself protected?

    2 fvs 1 belt

    I used foil faced glass cloth, we use it in work to make valve and flange mats suprisingly enough, so as long as its taped and sealed ok it's perfect for fv's and and for mash tuns, boilers ( for beer ) etc, i made 1 for my boiler and it made a huge difference in time heating up and keeping heat...

    2 fvs 1 belt

    I used all materials from my work, im an insulation engineer, all the mats made for this were sealed completely with 4" foil tape so no rockwool can be accessed or escape, check an earlier post i did, it has a celotex box perfect for 1 fv that is completely sealed

    2 fvs 1 belt

    The jacket, bottom and top all have foil face 40mm Rockwood insulation in, should have made the bottom from celotex board, forgot the weight of 2 fvs so the bottom is a tad flat but still providing a good barrier between the fvs and the tiled floor

    Can I increase bitterness after kegging

    simonh82 is spot on, this would be the only way to get bitterness from a hop, if its added after boil, i.e in the fermenter or keg it would only help with aroma
