I'd love to have something like that but the constant management is a non starter these days. The thing I love about having a kamado is closing the lid and forgetting about it, bloody brilliant with a 7 month old knocking about.

I'm up at 3am most mornings to feed the baby so I decided to throw a pork shoulder on the kamado yesterday. This is day 2's sandwich with fennel slaw.

How long is the cooking time with that method? It does look like a lot of fun but I'm guessing it needs constant management?

They look amazing.

Porter bubbling away nicely, yesterday was a lovely day for it.

Fair do's, impressive sacrifice in the name of beer!

Nice, wish I'd have known about them when I ordered from honestbrew for my oktoberfest bbq. Took over 3 weeks and they cocked up the order, came a week after the bbq.

The dream, although I don't mind so much brewing outside but having to lug the fermenting bucket upstairs to the only tiny cupboard free in house can do one.

Got some chocolate malt and East Kent goldings (hopefully) coming at the weekend so I can get a porter on. Wish I had room for a dedicated brewing/fermenting area.

Depressing read.

Any single malt is worth a punt at that price, I find that red wine matured malts are a bit hit and miss as they don't have the sweetness of a sherry cask and can just end up just adding a lot of tannins to the malt. Younger malts seem work better with red wine, I picked a bottle of Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine à while back and it a was nice easy drinking dram.

Very different beast to Port Charlotte, it's cask strength. First arrival completely neat is probably one of the most smokey whisky's I've ever had, even more so than all of the octomore's I've tried. The only way to describe it is like a smoke bomb exploding in your mouth. Half a teaspoon of water mellows it out and brings out a lot of spice, and the more water you add the it becomes sweeter and a lot of fruit flavour come out.

Really excellent, popped some inert gas in it so I can share it with friends (one day if we're ever allowed out again) as anyone who likes peat is going to love it.

Here's to lockdown 2.0, hope you've all got the essentials?

Vaccination day today, she's never enamoured with her chariot.

Like I said I basically pulled that figure out of my arse based mainly on the fact that getting anything half decent in laaaaaaandan Town seems to be measured in thousands rather than hundreds.

Front doors? Does anyone have any recommendations? It's for a victorian terrace, I've never had to buy a door before so no idea what I should be looking at, I'm kind of expecting to pay a couple of grand for something decent but I'm puling this figure from zero knowledge.

I guess my main concern is that you're spending a lot of money in the hope that the company will still be around in 5 years time to still buy parts.

I'll probably end up buying it after I've had a few drinks.

I've been looking at loads of different cordless vacs over the last couple of weeks and I really want to get the lupe. It's made by some ex Dyson engineers who were sick of all the waste so every part of this is apparently replaceable. But the the thought of dropping 500 notes on a vacuum is not something my brain can handle.

Edit - plus it's normally 700 quid.

Don't you have cardboard recycling in your area?

Depends on the speed of your internet connection and the size of your house. I just bought the M5's (3 pack) for 3 t0 5 bedroom house as I had an amazon voucher and they were on sale but the m4's seem more than adequate for most people. I probably would have gone for the M5's anyway because of the size, they're a lot smaller than the M4's. I live in a small victorian 3 bed terrace and I've only needed to set up 2 of the 3 discs.

Yep. Anti fraud set up, only happens to my HSBC cards. Not sure what the interval is, it seems to be completely random.

Decided to take a punt on the M5 Deco's as I had a 50 quid amazon voucher. Worked an absolute treat, only set up 2 of the 3 discs and I'm getting great coverage everywhere (even decent in the garden), WiFi is faster in the rooms that didn't get signal than I used to get in the same room as the BT router.

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on that. We haven't been letting anyone stay in the house regardless, hence the gazebo now the weather is shit, if we go into lockdown and can't have garden meet ups then I'll pack it down (takes about 15 mins) but at least we'll have the option when restrictions are lifted.

Another reason why I said we don't know what the restrictions will be is that this shit show of a government àre just as likely to sack everything off that they announce today by this time next week.

Yep, I know that. My point was there's no way to know what area and what restrictions will be in place at any one time. This just allows me to still see people in the case that garden meet ups are still allowed, which they are in London for the time being.
