    Are You A Smoker?

    Dutto, I quote' by not smoking a cigarette you ARE controlling your addiction so therefore you must ( by definition) become an ex smoker. That's like saying people who have never smoked are addicted to not smoking.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] If you are an ex smoker you are a non smoker. Sent...

    Are You A Smoker?

    There are 2 types of people, smokers and non smokers. You can't be an ex smoker classed as 'controlling' your addiction, by not having one. You don't control addiction, addiction controls you. You either smoke or you don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Put a weight in the bag, something like a sanitised marble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First brew hopefully final topic

    The temp needs to be ideally around the 21C mark, if it's cold, it will take a long time to ferment out, as I stated earlier the yeast become dormant. Your final gravity should be around 1.012-1.015 for this style of beer. Based on your OG of 1.048 and FG as above you'll be looking at around...

    Now would probably be a good time to dry hop, I leave the hop bag in for 7 days. Then you should be ready for the cold crash. What style are you brewing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leaving 14 days will pretty much guarantee end of fermentation. Cold crashing helps to clear your beer. By dropping the temp the yeast and proteins fall out of suspension ( go to sleep) if you will, it also reduces chill haze. I cold crash for 3 days or more if necessary, then bottle or keg...

    Are You A Smoker?

    You see patients with no legs sat outside hospitals still smoking, despite losing limbs from vascular disease they continue to smoke. It's addiction not habit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't know, that's why I'm asking. They just look more robust than the mini kegs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you use the Party Star tap with this type keg or just the Philips type?

    Forum suggestion.

    As I started out doing WOW's & Beer Kits I feel I've exhausted these, kinda got boring, there's only so many ways you can throw fruit juice and sugar in a jar and get excited about cheap plonk IMO. There are pages and pages of the same questions, been answered over and over again. After doing my...

    uk holiday prices

    We drive to France most years, saves a fortune, we camp, eat local food, the wine and beer is cheap as chips, a 6 pack of Leffé is around £2.50. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Priming sugar questions.

    Batch priming is inconsistent IMO, some gushers, some flat, some just right. I use a big syringe now, so each bottle gets exactly the correct amount, it doesn't take that long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Airlock bubbler

    Air locks are more of a visual than necessity, i have a FV with an ill fitting lid, I leave it 2 weeks then check the gravity, I'm not a day by day lid lifter. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Soundbars for Flat Screen TVs

    Not a big fan of these virtual surround speakers or bars. They're no where near as good as a traditional 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 setup in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Carbonation Drops for Bottling

    I find batch priming inconsistent, some bottles over, some under, and some gushers from hot spots. I make a syrup and use a 50ml syringe. So if I required 5g per litre on 40 bottles, I make a 200ml solution and administer 5ml per bottle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
