  1. It doesn't for the normal Elderflower Champagne, but I'm planning on making some silly stuff this year, so once I've got a few bottles of normal champers, I'm going to add a kilo of dextrose and some champagne yeast. I'm hoping to get something at around 9% that can be drunk in volume
  2. Technically, it's taking game without consent, (unless you have the permission of the landowner) but you are right not to waste it. Don't bother cooking it; dogs are designed to eat raw flesh. Take the guts out, skin it if you wish, and let Fido have a feast
  3. Perhaps you'd like to start the ball rolling by telling everyone on the WWW how much you earn? What the site costs, or earns, is nobodies business except the owner. I'm not sure what is going on lately. Members posting ridiculous questions and expecting instant answers need to exercise extreme caution. As do those who just want to stir trouble As has been said several times already; give it a rest lads.
  4. Why what's happened? Full moon on Friday the 13th, all he idiots came out to play.
  5. Personally, given what has gone on in the last 24 hours, I'd say not enough.
  6. Ficam W used to work really well on Bedbugs. Everyone used it, and everyone raved about it. Now it has no effect on them at all. Why are so many commercial flocks treating with DE now???
  7. Do you think all the mods read all your posts within seconds of you posting them? You've been asked nicely; now I'm telling you. Please do something about the chip on your shoulder and stop posting constant whining threads about how hard done to you are. If I had the answer to your original question I would have given it to you. In the meantime, either contribute and enjoy or log out.
  8. Guys, this is getting tiresome.
  9. I think magpies like dropping down on the traps, and lifting it off the ground just stops them going round and round the outside of the trap. I've had some great results with a Clam trap (Larson Mate) lately. Simple, easy to make and very effective. Mine is powered with a bungee strap and took about 20 minutes to make.
  10. Just in case you haven't seen it:
  11. I've only ever been Matt I'm sure that if the owner of the site thought that the word 'dick' was inappropriate he'd have either asked me to remove it or done it himself I'm also sure that if that had been the case I wouldn't have posted half a dozen threads bemoaning the fact and attention seeking like a five year old that's had their toy car taken off them
  12. You don't need the RSPH to buy products. Most suppliers will give you one day courses. The RSPH is the recognised entry level qualification. Getting insurance may be difficult without it, and some customers insist on it. If you've no experience then working for someone else is the way forward.
  13. Guys, whatever you think about it, always remember that the site is owned by one person, and it's up to him to decide what goes and what doesn't. Does having an avatar picture like that really enhance your visits to THL that much? Personally, I'm more interested in decent content than funny pictures Keep things in perspective folks
  14. Save it as your desktop background and you can look at it as often as you like and think of old times
  15. I don't for several reasons. Firstly, I'm a bit nomadic, and arranging for deliveries isn't easy. Secondly, I use a local specialist shop when I'm down here (the one in the links) and I get a bit of discount In fact, if you mention me, you may get a bit of a deal yourself. I rate the HB kits very highly, although they are a bit pricier than some of the other stuff. Dead easy to make being dried malt The mild I've been drinking is the Geordie kits, and it's OK. I've just barrelled a Youngs mild the other day, so I'll reserve judgement on that for now. With the barrelled stu
  16. Some links for you: Little bottler (link) Bottle drainer (great bit of kit) Bottle washer With that kit I can bottle bottles in an hour, and that includes the clean up afterwards. The advantage of the bottler is that you can deliver your grog straight to the bottom of the bottle without it fizzing up too much. It cuts off as soon as you release the bottle thereby minimising spillage and fuss.
  17. It depends how warm it is. I left my last lot indoors for 3 days, and then transferred it to my beer cellar. I put half a dozen bottles into the fridge on route, and it was clear in a couple of days. Don't forget you will need a second tub to transfer it into before you add the flavour sachet. I have two fermenter s (as you can see) and both have taps that allow use of the bottler (£7) or for transferring from one to the other. Syphoning is a right fag which is why I fitted a tap to my fermentation tub. I'll find you a link to the little bottler in a minute.
  18. OK, on photobucket, get the 'direct link' and click it. That will copy it to your clipboard. When you want to post it on here, click the picture icon, and then paste (either ctrl & v or right click and select 'paste') into the dialogue box that comes up. Then hit 'post' and your picture should be there.
  19. thats the one I'd pick lol Yep It's a real nice pint. The Mild is good because I can do half a gallon when I get in without getting insensible.... trouble is, that half gallon is usually followed up with a gallon of the good stuff
  20. You wore trainers to a wedding reception??? Someone tell me it's not just me?
  21. 40 PET bottles of cider doing their secondary fermentation, while 40 pints of mild and 40 pints of best bitter do their primary in the background:
