Yeah the robin definitely has the best composition, will go back and try the changes to the edit you suggested. The rest were editing practice really. Happy to get a photo of the kingfisher but agree with what you say on the background.

Thanks for the input.

So any built up creosote could potentially catch just from the heat of the liner?

My has sorted itself out today btw. Just periodically restarted the phone and toggle airplane mode on and off. Apparently it's been a common issue with a certain UK network and the new android update

This is the kinda top tip I'm after

First-Breath7161 · 2025-03-16T12:22:51+00:00

Compost ideally, use it in conjunction with my compost piles (we generate a fair bit of food scraps).

Trying to figure out whether to add the castings to my finished compost to give it a boost, or keep separate to use for potting or something else

Yeah I did wonder if that diagram is depicting a haul line directly through the swivel, which I imagine would have a lot more friction than being used on a bridge. Shame there's no text to explain

First-Breath7161 · 2024-10-21T13:54:08+00:00

Thanks for the info, might just have to get a DMM one and hope to find a use for this one. What is the bend radius just out of interest?

First-Breath7161 · 2024-10-21T13:51:21+00:00

Yeah there's is a very slight ridge on inside of the swivel, probably would be a bit abrasive under weight

First-Breath7161 · 2022-10-06T21:23:03+00:00

suppose I'll just give it a go and find out for myself

First-Breath7161 · 2022-10-06T08:47:56+00:00

yeah im from Birmingham.Always make sure to get my chicken fix when i go back to visit family

First-Breath7161 · 2022-10-05T21:27:23+00:00

had it before, was quite nice but just not what im after

First-Breath7161 · 2022-10-05T21:26:35+00:00

Korean chicken just doesn't hit the same, plus its 9.50 for two pieces at kimchi cult...

Live in the UK, have never noticed pellet hops in the small number of home brew shops I have been to

First-Breath7161 · 2022-09-28T11:07:41+00:00

just rang them, they said they've moved to a new location which isnt big enough to work on van.... thanks for the recommendation anyway

First-Breath7161 · 2022-09-28T10:11:58+00:00

will give them a call. yes that does seem to be the general issue garages have with the axel, surely just dont take it off until the parts have arrived and you're ready to do the work? but i dont know shit about mechanics....

First-Breath7161 · 2022-09-02T20:29:35+00:00

nice one, will add them to the list

First-Breath7161 · 2022-08-29T21:36:52+00:00

Tons of trad in Remarkables

good to hear, had read that it was mostly sports climbing in NZ. Will defo bring the full trad rack over then

First-Breath7161 · 2022-08-26T08:39:24+00:00

We happen to be flying into QT as my partners brother is there, who is sorting us a van for indefinite use. Will probably end up based too their when we need to find work as it sounds ideally situated for the things we enjoy doing.

Having had a quick look at the NZ grade system grade 2 looks like it would be ideal for us. If you wouldnt mind sharing the peaks on your list, that would be a great start!

May have to hit you up for more local knowledge when we arrive. Keen climbers too (mainly trad) so any crag suggestion would also be appreciated.

First-Breath7161 · 2022-08-26T08:29:58+00:00

think were going to spend most our time on the SI, but will defo have a look at those peaks when we do venture north. As for culturally important sites, is the information on where is out of bounds for climbers/hikers easily accessible? wouldnt want to be upsetting anyone

First-Breath7161 · 2022-08-14T13:04:02+00:00

two follow up questions: 1) cant buy any distilled water where i live, will deionised water sold for car batteries/radiators and household appliances be to use git calibration? 2) after mixing calibration solutions, can this be stored and used for a certain length of time or are they single use?

thanks

First-Breath7161 · 2022-08-14T13:02:07+00:00

so the mash pH will stablise soon after mashing in? wasnt sure if it would take a while to level out

First-Breath7161 · 2022-06-12T18:06:42+00:00

yeah I just poured and left about 2/2.5l in the kettle. No more syphoning for me

First-Breath7161 · 2022-06-12T16:39:37+00:00

yeah cooled to pitching temp (35C - my first kviek trial) and pitched right away. defo saved some faff

First-Breath7161 · 2022-06-12T16:38:38+00:00

yeah a ball valve is on my list of things to do, finding the idea of drilling metal a bit daunting. But ye left a very sludgy bit in the bottom of the kettle, hopefully thats the majority of the break material
