Takes four to lift the top section- the oak sleepers weren't cheap, you can though get slightly smaller ones form Dorset timber which start at about £20 for a short one. RD

Was waiting on a friend to put some Portland stone slab down for me on top of the concrete so whilst I was waiting I did a bit of a dry run of the first part of the build- heres a previewUpdate tomorrow Cheers RD

Here's the hole I dug, and then filled it with three quarters of a ton of concrete.

Sorry I can't make the Spring Thing this year hope you have a great time, hope to make it next year. Current project is building a wood fired brick oven. I've been planning it for ages and have only recently got the go ahead from swimbo.The idea is that it can be got up to really hot...

It's amazing the depths to which people will sink if they think that they are not going to get caught.

Always, and I've taught my (teenage) kids to as well. This includes the local Wetherspoons, I think it's courteous and respectful. RD

Happy New Year Everyone. My beer didn't have a code on it, but it was a Weissbeer brewed by Brian from Newcastle. Appropriately it was in a Newcastle Brown bottle and nicely labelled. Easy pouring with a good head and a crystal clear pale straw colour. Zingy mouthfeel, like a myriad of...

Great debate, Thanks for the links to the 'I am a craft brewer' video. Didn't need to tickle the back of my throat very much at all. RD

Amazing colour coordination BB !

Couldn't bear to throw away the yeast and trub from a recent London Pride clone, so used it to make some bread and rolls last night. Any one else use the yeast from the FV to bake with ?? RD

Unopened packs I keep in the fridge, once opened they go into the freezer. I take what I need and they then go back into the freezer. Not had a problem. RD

Welcome lots of info on here for every style of fermentable beverageRD

Truly a labour of love. Please post back once the tastings have been done. I did something similar last year using 6 different yeasts ( your record is still well safe ), the difference in flavours was really surprising.RD

Maysie, this was a great question ! RD

You've made the point more concisely than me BB, and I do take the points above about the blanket. RD

Good afternoon. Interesting debate. I was just going to put my flak jacket on but I think one of those 'Hurt Locker' bomb disposal outfits might be more appropriate. Firstly what I share with all of you is an appreciation of good beer. This is where I have to duck for cover. I've been a CAMRA...

Weissbier from Newcastle has landed, very professional label, many thanks. Looking forward to this ! RD

Our pub puts the left over roast potatoes on the bar after Sunday lunch, lovely with salt and a pint.

Dennis, I clearly don't know what your exact problem is, but the orthotics will be to allow weight to be borne on a different part of the foot. Try a pair of either Rocker soles or MBT ( Masai Barefoot Technology) - I know people who swear by them, they redistribute the weight away from the heel...

It becomes an obsession as soon as you taste your first brew. It's a one way street after that. Got home from work tonight and the first thing I did was to check the Krausen on some beer I'm brewing for Xmas.
