    New kid on the block

    You just plug the freezer into the 'cooling' holes and the belt heater into the 'heating' holes and then its the inkbirds problem. The old belt did struggle slightly over winter to hold 22l at the counterintuitive 40 deg that Voss Kveik enjoys. Some mornings you find it dropped to a near...

    New kid on the block

    I'll show you mine. Its a freezer I picked up off Scumtree. Works a treat. Yes, a belt will do the job. One of those el'cheapo pads for heating reptiles won't. Yes, round fermenters are a PITA at times. Especially on wobbly stands. But I can't deal with the buyers remorse of going back to my...

    Why are qantas still so ****?

    Which is why I maintain it should be mandatory for flight crew to at least hold a blue belt in BJJ and be equipped with cattle prods and heavy duty cable ties. Its just better for all concerned. And better for the offender than possibly being stabbed by his fellow travelers with improvised...

    Why are qantas still so ****?

    Has the behaviour actually gotten worse, or the tolerance of 'difficult' passengers shifted? Are we talking a few Karen - esque outbursts at the check in counter, ********* losing their phones between the seats or an unruly pisshead trying to smash Boonies record? *Years ago on a flight from...

    Why are qantas still so ****?

    A miss is as good as a mile, as they say.. 'Didn't you check that engine wouldn't catastrophically fail !?" "Nah..I thought you did.." Hopefully the captain and first officer were wearing their brown undies that day.

    Why are qantas still so ****?

    Flown once this year with virgin, never again. Got a text at around 4 am that our 6.30 am flight out of Hobart had been delayed - by 12 hours. Talking to them is a waste of breath and time The dont give a **** that you have two kids under 12 and the hotel is booting you out at 10 am. Only...

    What are you listening to

    Artistic licence. Tarantino cops no cancellation for using n***a like a punctuation mark in his films, as it should be. Personally I see no daylight between that and the lyrics of a recording artist. Though many more hysterical types seem to. 'Go away" - Snoop Dogg. Now she said she don't...

    I don't know faceless masses, but for some reason I feel like sitting by an open fireplace in a large leather chair whilst enjoying a snifter of peated single malt Scotch whisky.

    What makes someone quit brewing ??

    A bunch of reasons really, but the proliferation of decent craft beer available is huge for me. Was a different story 'back in the day' when 3 Ravens or something was the only thing breaking up the wall of VB and Tooheys in the walk in. Needs must. Now? Put it this way. We were down at Cradle...

    And this is why we cant have nice things. Devolution into a cynical echo chamber of bias and populism - on both sides - has now made almost impossible any form of rational civilised conversation. Trump vs Harris in 2024? Now that would be a right sizzler..

    Absolutely, and not at all a hatchet piece. And zero conflict of interest there. I mean, in terms of journalistic integrity, Breitbart is second only to FOX news and InfoWars. And if that wasn't enough, the producers are nonother Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer who exposed anthropomorphic...

    Bee Alert

    Dam fcuking right it matters, for a myriad of reasons, and missing out on slathering honey on our crumpets or putting that bochet on hold because the stuff is now as expensive as Glenlivet 18 will be the least of it. We think lettuce is pricy now. Wait until it has to me manually pollinated. My...
