Ahh the name sort of put me off a bit mate

Sorry guys wrong spot, finnished night shift half asleep

Lucky enough to have come across about 50 473ml Grolsch bottles. Would love to put my Cider in them but am not sure on the priming rate. I relise that bulk primming is probably the go but am very short of time. If using Carb drops, one or two?. If placing sugar into the bottle, the standard...

A mate of mine at work drinks bucket loads of xxxx mid strength. When he farts you can smell it through your ears.

Being in Hobart Ive had the same trouble in winter until I started adding some boling water(2 lts) to the tun whilst waiting for my strike water to get to temp. Never miss now, just remember to empty out the boiling water befor adding the strike water.

Q. What did they call Whinny the Poo when he died. A. A Dead Shit

A Difference of seven is not a huge difference in a SG reading, the FG is what I would be looking at. Maturing is the answer with extracts

As always THANKS GUYS
