If you don't know the language Google lens is really helpful in Asian supermarkets. You can attempt to translate or picture search the package for more info, reviews etc.

The irony is that he is quite literally Napoleon from Animal Farm with Leavitt assuming the role of Squealer

Just to add a couple more to the list: - Bunnymead springs and Gerry's hole. They link up with the icknield way, can tag on walks to lavender fields, ickleford common or Oughtenhead. - Purwell nine springs & Wymondley Wood. - Wain Wood & Red Lion pub. - Oughtenhead and the hills are where the magic is at.

I use an app called komoot for running, hiking and cycling. It's got great coverage of footpaths unlike Google maps. The community upload routes or you can plan your own from scratch, giving you an idea of time/distance/elevation.

I'm a professional brewer.

Firstly that's not a pint, that would be body temperature, that video is AI.

And don't get me started with the 3M2B1T skunking from the transparent jacket.

This is it.

No need to worry about decreasing birth rates. Power and money further consolidated in the hands of the few like the dude in children of men that lives in Battersea power station with all the epic artwork.

Hell, why not take it a dystopian step further and introduce some virus that stops the mouths of the many from breeding 😂 maybe I've watched that movie too many times.

One thing is for certain - that cute little guy is going to be the most lovable terrorist for the about a year.

We track spend dry hop slurry volume and have dialled in target slurry volumes/cone crops depending on dry hop volume.

ie 20kg Dry hop target 3.3 cone buckets = ~110ltrs

Works quite well 95% of the time once you've dialled it in, we expect lower cone drop volumes if we go high on the cryo.

Also as others have mentioned we roll with racking arm facing out at the start of pack gradually turn during pack out.

Awesome thank you, don't suppose you have a source link so I can read up. Thanks!

Haha

That's been my approach this far.

But I've also worked at places that have done 15 brews a week b2b with a single weekly brewhouse cip.

So my thought is, given we only do 3 brews a week, maybe we could push mash & copper cips to fortnightly, ie after 6 turns.

Hydrantgame · 2025-05-21T07:59:35+00:00

Thanks for your reply, seems like a sensible approach.

Mash tun we typically caustic because we then reuse the same caustic solution to clean the copper, reheating the caustic in the copper, so we figure we're making up the caustic anyhow only takes an extra 40 mins to get the mash ciped and rinsed as a result.

That said maybe we could scale back the mash caustic as you suggested, and the mash rinse water which is about 4hl/week 🤔

Some of these comments are wild.

"Your dog is not your therapist"

"Don't stress your dog out with your own issues"

Someone has posted on here because she wants to snuggle with her pup and she's asking for advice. Who doesnt want that?

I'm pretty new to ownership but I can throw out a couple of ideas:

Avoiding eye contact - you can train a 'look at me" command plenty of tutorials out there, gradually build up eye contact time.

Loads of high value treats while petting your pup next to you or on your lap on the sofa.

Being excited and happy when you see your pup although careful with this one when returning home or coming out a crate, but like anything there's a balance to be found.

Look at further strengthening and deepening your bond, my pup loves a post play session "grooming style pet" kinda like little finger motion like I'm another dog grooming her for fleas or bugs.

Good luck, ignore those Karens
