slightly off topic, i have two hop plants that i planted last season. they grew to about 7 foot with about 6 bines on each plant, there wasnt any flowers in the first season, probably due to not having the time in the last 12 months to look after them properly, this coming season i hope i can...

i have 2 jack russells. the young one,"male" likes to roll around in dynamic lifter as soon as he finds out i have fertilised under the fruit trees, what the hell are they thinking, obviously trying to impress the girl dog. fergi

thanks guys, i think i might try the recovering angle, at least i know these chairs are put together really well. cheers fergi

well i could live with my chairs too, but the missus has breast cancer and after all the chemo and radio she hasnt got much energy so sits in her chair most of the day, she thinks a new outfit for the chairs will make her feel brighter and more comfortable, so i guess its just as easy to agree...

well Bum they are 20 years old and looking tired, tried the shampoo treatment but still look tired, footrests have now worn through the material and being a pattern we cant get the same pattern to recover them, have you recovered yours. ferg

i have two posture care recliner chairs that we have had for 20 years, they were measured and made to a personal fitting. at the time they cost us 2400 dollars for both, they are made from excellent materials and really well made. i am thinking of getting them recovered in leather but looking...

as above ,pitching onto the full yeast cake is way over the top, i empty the beer into whatever ,keg/bottles then the inch or so left in the bottom is swirled all around. i then take one cup of the trub and use that to fire up the next batch. fermentation starts usually in a couple of hours if...

theres a rumor that andy likes to wear the stockings first isnt there ben. so its not a complete waste. fergi :drinks:

ok where do i put my 50k.

yes thought about that, it is certainly reasonably soft in between the walls. might look at that idea too. fergi

yes wolfy thats the same problem i have, might try and put a solid 2 inch stainless or brass tube permanently into the esky , then have something to tighten both ballvalve and manifold onto, so need a solid fitting through the esky wall. fergi

sorry wolfy my brew rig is not that interesting. you are right though ,ball valve, thats what i meant. i have the main problem with the mash tun, its an esky with a hole drilled through one end, then i have a threaded stainless pipe screwed into my "ball .valve" then through the hole in the...

after brewing today i realised that my brew rig has a few leaks, its mainly on the ballcocks, it seems that when i have drilled the s/s vessels and 50 liter esky and installed the ballcocks with silicon washers , they were all water tight but now they have minor leaks, only a drip every 5...

as manticle said it looks ok. point i would make is i am now drinking a JSGA which is tasting fantastic, 5 weeks ago i thought it had an infection. it had been in the keg for about a week and had a weird taste,so much so i was going to toss it out. i kept it anyway and tried it a month later...

i always use a 1/2 whirlfloc tablet @ 10 mins before flame out. then leave the kettle alone for 5 minutes. lid on. stir the kettle to get a nice whirlpool going, only needs about 20/30 seconds then put your lid on and leave it for another 10 mins,open your tap and drain into your cube, you...

well as usual some of you guys are obviously pissed by now and cant be bothered reading the original few posts, sure beer has sugars , how the **** would the yeast make alcohol if it didnt, the argument was my mate is saying a glass of beer has as much sugar in it as a can of coke finished...

yep he is saying its got the same amount of sugar left in it as coke. i doubt i get to pick the 6 pack, he is a farmer, they are pretty tight with their coin, but they are always right, never wrong. fergi

kelby his original statement was really that it has as much sugar as a can of coke that i didnt want to drink, most of the sugars that were extracted from the grain have been converted into alcahol, dont know how much sugar beer has left in it after the yeast has gone to work but as DK said...

i know it sounds like an easy answer, but one of the guys at golf made a statement that beer is 30 percent sugar, i have a 6 pack on this and my answer was it doesnt have any sugar added its only the sugar from barley that it contains, and its not 30 percent.then he went on to say that...
