    Packaging - Whale Pods

    I saw these mentioned by @Hoppy2bmerry on HBT and thought they were interesting. The originals are not cheap, but the principle could be adapted for DIY use? From what I can tell they consist of a foam pad on the bottom to cushion, then a layer of foam cut out to accept the bottom of the...

    White Labs dry yeast

    So, hell has frozen over and White Labs introduce a dry version of WLP001, 500g bricks are already on Yeastman with 11g to come. On their Facebook page they say "Two more strains are planned to be released in dry in 2023" - my guess would be a lager and either London Fog or WLP002/007...

    Fermentis BR-8 - first dried Brett

    Fermentis are very proud of their new baby, BR-8, so much so they even did a fancy Guinness-style video which tells you absolutely nothing about the product but tells you how to feel about the "brewer’s journey, through his thoughts and doubts. It’s about his path towards his most creative self...

    Beer kit at Ocado

    Ocado sometimes have interesting beers that I get via someone I know who shops with them, I was just looking at them and saw that they are doing a kit from Northern Brewer - nothing to do with me, but the US homebrew retailer that was bought by AB InBev in 2016 and sold to private equity in...

    Gigayeast no more

    In case people haven't seen, Gigayeast have ceased trading as of 16 July : https://gigayeast.com/ I think BrewUK were the only UK retailers who ever stocked them, but aside from a good Conan when that was the big thing, they never really had a USP in the way that eg Omega managed by going hard...

    Cummings testimony

    Cummings giving his evidence to the Commons committees is extraordinary. Live coverage at : https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/d919fbc9-72ca-42de-9b44-c0bf53a7360b Most of the political correspondents live-Tweeted it to some extent, Ian Dunt of Politico was perhaps the most comprehensive...

    Poll: Should Christmas be postponed?

    There's been a suggestion that formal celebration of Christmas should be "postponed" until the summer, as a way of discouraging gatherings in December and keeping the pressure off the NHS.
