Re: Making a fermentation chamber/fridge

Regarding drilling I found the safest way to get the heater cable into the fridge was to put a hole in through the compressor cover in the bottom of the fridge. Going in from the back with an old soldering iron. I never found any cooling coils in that area and even if there had been they would not h...

Re: New Year's Mead

Message from Carnot came as a great surprise as I had forgotten all about this. I like the way the company works with the welfare of the bees at the forefront. This is the first mead I have tasted so any review can only be based on this with no comparison with any other product. That said I really e...

Re: Any groups in or around the Preston area?

I have also used Leyland Homebrew a couple of times recently. The owner gave me his name (possibly Joe) but it was forgotten before I left the shop (its an age thing). Preston is about 30 miles for me but I would be interested in a meet if I could bring my dog. I am assuming my wife would also be we...
