Old Reptonian is my choice please.

One minute we have transit vans floating down high streets the next minute we have hosepipe bans. It's a sad case that we can't manage water better in this country. I guess the infrastructure investment is driven by shareholders. Say no more.

Thanks.

Hi Kingtj. I have 3 boxes of 48 and 3 boxes of 24 branded glasses. I wanted to put them on ebay but I'm concerned I may get some saying they are broken on arrival, hoping for a refund, hassle then starts. I sell a lot of things on Ebay but usually undisputable stuff or cash on collection. See if...

Thank you very much. I have some LME so I will add what about 1/4 kilo? So you mean the sachet that came with the kit to add after fermentation?

I've filled a 32 pint Woodfordes Admiral kit up to the 40 pint mark out of habit. Does anyone know whether it will be ok or should I add something to it as a substitute. At the 4 day point I have to add a sachet of dry hops. Terry

Yes you're right I'm probably wingin it. If it was a French vehicle I would just expect it to fail but not a VW unit. The age of the car is well out of it's 3 year warranty but the warranty mileage is 60,000, so even VW are confident the turbo should easily last that long. My argument is that...

Hi Graz, I sell quite a bit of stuff on ebay and now select a courier through ebays packlink service depending on the level of importance. I still use hermes occasionally because our local lass is spot on and living a way from a P.O it's convenient. It's a shame she should suffer because of the...

I thought I'd better follow up on an earlier post during lockdown when poor delivery companies were discussed. I issued a court moneyclaimonline against Hermes for the 3 maks that went missing. and within a week the masks appeared at the delivery address in Hoo Kent. 3 months after sending...

I have a spare pub gas cylinder you can have but I'm across in Humberside. Then you'd have to know a pub that stocks the same brewery gas to exchange it or a gas supplier to refill it. It's a bit rusty but would clean up.

The snubnose looks dead snazzy, proper show off material. I keep very thorough records of every brew and would enjoy reviewing this new bit of equipment. I'm still on bucket and barrels/bottles, so a step into the future for me.

Really fizzy the best I've brewed so far. I will always use honey for priming from now on. I have no knowledge of the dextrose, sorry. Since I'v started making beer again keeping detailed logs is crucial for repeating a winning formula. I'm thinking of making some elderberry wine in the autumn...

That's a brill video, can't fault the guy really, his fuse went, but tried to put it right.

Hi Ray, I've done 5 kit brews so far on my return to brewing. The first one I used normal sugar, it tasted poor just like the brews I made in the early eighties. Since that one I have used, honey/normal sugar mixed / light malt extract and dark malt extract, also primed with honey. I have been...

I found DHL to be the best recently. UPS failed to collect two ebay sales in the same week. It's a lottery I guess. I don't think it's the number of failures a company has, (any company) it's how they deal with the customer after a mistake.

Follow me to the promised land. I've just opened another bottle tonight and it's as flat as an apple tart. I suspect the cap hadn't sealed, so forget that. My miracles are subject to basic science after all.

I sent some 3m P3 face masks with Myhermes two weeks into the lockdown. They were for a mate who has no spleen, if he contracted the virus it would more than likely be game over. My mate had sat near his front door for two days but no one called and no ticket was left. They had got as far as...

Hi Terry M, I've just barreled my 4th comeback kit and on the same day my third batch (bottled) was ready for sampling, I'd used honey to prime. When I took the cap off, at first I thought it hadn't sealed because it was quiet. When I poured, it was like champagne. The fizz kept going right to...

Our daughter has a Marstons pub, I think she could have done better, she is experienced in the industry but new to the chain. She seems to have been completely deserted during the lockdown, just a premises security guard I suspect. We'll see what comes out in the wash, but I suspect no job at...
