    Aldi specials

    I picked up one of the non stick pizza trays and it fits nicely in the top of a crown urn. Planning to use it to sit the bag on while it drains.

    Glasses what's best

    I bought a box of these glasses recently for a party. They have all shapes and sizes, etched and non etched. I couldn't go past them for a $1 a glass and I don't mind the smaller size - less time for the beer to get warm in summer.

    The Beer Cellar - WTF?

    Strange that the only liquor licence they show on the AU site was issued in Hamilton, NZ. I know we're only the West Island but I didn't know we had reciprocal licencing arrangements.

    Why have some bottles carbonated better than others?

    I found with bottles, whether bulk primed or individually primed, it made a big difference how long I gave them to chill down in the fridge. 3 hours was OK to cool to drinking temp but not enough time for the CO2 to dissolve into the beer. If I gave them at least 24 hours in the fridge then...

    One for the IT gurus - MS Excel

    Your IT Dept should take a look at Sharepoint. Comes as part of Windows Server and allows you to store documents in a shared environment but with strict access controls (who gets to read, who gets to modify etc). To modify a file, you check it out so no one else can work on it while you are and...
