    RIP Margaret!

    It Was Gordon Brown taxing the pensions that helped wreck the banks. They used to dip into the pension funds in times of hardship! We didn't declare war on the Argies but surely by entering a countries land by force is an act of war! Althogh it was a conflict you are correct ;) I read a book...

    North Korea

    My grandad used to say exactly the same, now i know where he got it from! China won't aid them N Korea, if anything China will be the ones to take care of the problem! Who want's the threat of the repercussions of N Korea's actions from the West? Im pretty certain that if they nuked the USA...

    RIP Margaret!

    She most deffinately should have a millitary funeral. She ruled through the falklands war and we won!!! If it was one of the new "leaders" the falklands would no longer belong to the UK. Her decission to sink the General Belgrano was one of the key factors in that war as the ship had gone...

    Dark side... what would i need?

    I'm ordering my grain (etc) on Tuesday from the Malt Miller. I will be doing full mash from the start, no lifting of heavy bags (etc). All you need for full mash that's different from BIAB is a £8 30lt coolbox to convert into a mashtun. My setup consists of:- 1. HLT/boiler (which you need for...

    Boil off?

    I have a braided hose hop stopper so dont get a syphon effect. My dead space is the bottom of the ball valve effectively so i lose what ever is bellow this! I could tilt the boiler at the end too as i will be passing the hot wort through a dence cotton bag into the cube to catch any remaining...

    Boil off?

    right so aprox 6lt to boil off 1lt to dead space and 2lt to hop absorbtion and i want to end up with 23lt so pre bouil 31lt :cry: It's not looking good for my 33lt> boiler is it! I may have to add wort to the boil half hour or so in! Would this make much of a difference to hop utilisation on...

    How do you prime your cornies?

    Thats what i was thinking as there won't be "any" sediment (if pre cleared) so no risk. Just didn't know if added fermentable conditioning made a difference but obviousely not! Whats the minimum pressure ou can force carb at? My boots barrel has a woking pressure rating of 15psi, it's a beast...

    Boil off?

    Well mine my dead space is almost exactly 1lt so not sure what i'll end up with including hop absorbtion too. Im sure i read somewhere to allow 1 litre for 100g of hops!
