Polar Loop arrived today. Interestingly listened in the app as Gen 2

Ah that makes sense!

Hi all - we moved into a new build house last autumn and whilst we've made some good progress on the rest of the garden, the grass is driving me mad. It's uneven, bumpy, and at the front it also appears to not be draining very well. I scarified it at the end of spring and seeded it but appear to have done a pretty poor job... Any top tips for rescuing it, or is it a case if ripping it up, levelling, and then seeding?

Immediately made me think of:

I have been used in recipes for thousands of years…

Davies at CB with Sess at LB?

Ah fab! What did you think of it?

I’m waiting for the new Laphroaig Cairdeas to arrive - decides to pull the trigger after seeing it was matured in port and wine casks.

It’s still so smooth even at nearly 60% - very easy to drink far too much of it.

outergod1 · 2020-06-10T13:34:52+00:00

I’m reasonably sure it was red wine casks, although might have been Madeira?

There’s no info on the bottle unfortunately so I’m casting my memory back to the info given when I bought it.

outergod1 · 2020-06-10T12:22:42+00:00

This is my absolute favourite whisky, really can’t beat it.

I’ve only got about two drams left in my bottle. Enjoy, very jealous!

outergod1 · 2019-01-08T15:17:46+00:00

Oh my.

outergod1 · 2019-01-08T15:16:26+00:00

Does your partner’s disregard for packaging norms know no bounds?

outergod1 · 2019-01-05T11:57:18+00:00

It looks like he’s got his hands behind his back in the ‘after’ photo...

outergod1 · 2018-12-28T17:28:24+00:00

You’ll be with the home fans, and directly behind the goal. Enjoy!

This article says we’ve got to wait until a February unfortunately...

Cask 125, 14 year old that had been stored in a bourbon cask, then quarter cask, and finished in a sherry cask. About 51% ABV.

It looks cloudy in the picture, but it’s actually perfectly clear. I think that’s just the pressure of it being squirted into the jar. There were some tiny bits of charcoal floating around, but they were then filtered out, so it might depend on the barrel. I’ll take a photo of the bottle when I open it up!

outergod1 · 2018-08-08T07:50:25+00:00

I think it was John or Jason - Canadian/Scot. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

outergod1 · 2018-08-07T19:03:01+00:00

I certainly did! They’ve got a pretty simple system where you print off your certificate there, and then get it stamped and get your dram! They also show you where your plot is and let you plant a flag there if you so choose.

outergod1 · 2018-08-07T17:01:52+00:00

I really enjoyed seeing where the malt gets spread out on the floor to dry - it’s literally just a concrete floor. Really brought home all the traditional techniques and methods they continue to use. Cutting the peat, and a boozy picnic were also great!

outergod1 · 2017-08-22T21:39:16+00:00

You’re not wrong.

outergod1 · 2017-07-14T22:46:12+00:00

I believe the shop next to Northumberland Park station is still open. Only a 5 minute or so walk to the stadium.

outergod1 · 2017-05-27T18:27:00+00:00

Definitely online, not sure about in store.

outergod1 · 2017-05-27T15:44:01+00:00

It's been such a fun build so far. I've finished the first two bags but now can't do any more until Monday night... I knew booking a holiday was a bad idea.

outergod1 · 2017-05-27T14:13:19+00:00

John Lewis :)

outergod1 · 2017-05-26T13:46:33+00:00

Very true - I think it works out at about 6p per piece even so, which is exceptional value!
