I'm not sure why they played him against Wales, it was obvious the way he played he was far from fit. Was in the front row right on the corner when he scored against France just metres away from me, have no idea how he got through, there was no gap. Agree with you AJS2154, I've not met many...

Pocock and Izzy out. Izzy is only a back so that doesn't matter so much :ph34r: , he didn't play that well in the last game anyway. Beale was suprisingly good in one the games he played. Pocock will be missed but McCalman is playing well. nah mate, acting ability doesn't get you that far in...

chicken wings do really well with a brine and smoke too

Can pick broadbeans when very young and eat them like sugarsnaps, a bit older and you don't need to peel the seeds, older again they need peeling. Prefer them at stage 1 and 2

Have my fridge set at 5.5C, which is cold enough for beers I like cold, but way too cold for a lot of others, have to let them warm up first . When I first started I to set it low ( @ 2.0C), I think because it's what you are used to from pubs and get conditioned to it. As I started warming the...

Yep, that's the likely outcome.

I can ( well I hope ), love it when the AllBlacks get done by the Frogs. I do back the AB's when they play the Yarpies though, infact I'd back anyone playing them. The Irish #7 could be in a spot of bother for a thrown punch in the 1st minute, plus they lost a few to injuries in the game, should...

I have the Maverick remote one, has 2 probes ( meat and bbq), #733 I think

Irish will be hard to beat, but with the French you never know what to expect. Should be another good game, and there has been plenty of them this world cup. Think I've been watching too much rugby, was watching Offsiders and thought the scrolling headline at the bottom of the screen said...

Sounds like it's still dropping, you want a stable gravity reading for a couple of days. IIRC the ones I did many years ago finished @ 0.998.

Was going to top crop the first batch I pitched on Friday with Forbidden Fruit. After 24 hours had a nice krausen, thought I'd leave it another 24 hours...went down this morning and nothing on top, checked gravity and it's down from 1050 to 1014, bloody Belgian yeasts.

Some great defence with 2 in the bin, couple of scrum wins against the feed too, which is always good to see. Hopefully Pocock comes out alright, limping a bit when he went off, really need him on the paddock. Watched the Samoa V Scotland game, what a cracker.

Are you using starsan ? I use napisan ( unscented ) to clean then starsan. Regularly do sours ( on purpose) and never had a cross infection ( well not yet ) edit. oops, didn't see your post #3.

When I BIABed in a crown concealed element urn I made a long handled scrubbing brush, before starting the boil depower and give the element a good scrub to remove the soft stuff before it burns on, may pay to repeat just when you get to the boil. Made a wit on Monday, have left my RIMS tube to...

my mower is called Scott. In the 25 years I've owned my house I've never owned a mower.

Good wit weather for sure. 8 hours all up for 4 cubes today. RIMS element will need a good soak after the wit, nothing unusual though for all that raw wheat. The 4 kids got a bit feral with the heat, put them in front of minions with the aircon and they settled, need to get the pool cleaned up...

Last day of school holidays so my brother and kids coming up for a double double brew day. First off the mark is a smash ( almost ): 90% MO 10% pale wheat 54/15, 68/45, 72/15,78/10 magnum @ 60min to get total ibu to about 30 mosaic 25g per cube, same dry hopped OG 1048 1272 yeast Second double...

Small price to pay for putting up with me I'd say.

My missus took mine shopping yesterday, does that count ?

Foley is certainly a calming influence in that he doesn't lose his head ala Cooper. The only rough bit was @ 10 minutes in the second 1/2 after some changes, including phipps, a few stray passes but not entirely his fault. Pocock is at his pilfering best, got his thieving fingers all over the...
