    I never use markers where members of the public have access to the land. Indentations on mole hills, strands of wool, white spray paint; anything that'll point me to the spot but won't catch the eye of a footpather. Thats sensible, enough..but i personally never use any type, of evident marker,...Thats ok till you end up with a field full of mole hills, then the old timers desease kicks in, but if there’s only a couple of lines of hills then no issues, easy to relocate them,

    there could be a way some instrument, I would take a guide from what the instructions say it should end at, I think that’s your only option now,

    have you seen the ones made from drinking fountain water bottles they look handy, I was given a carboy (25litre ?) but I never got round to using it.....not hard to acquire though. If you're gonna go, go big ! I think she’s buying me a fruit press and I have access to loads of apples too late this year now, so will have to dig through some old posts, for next yr anybody know anything about useing Sankey barrels/ kegs as I am thinking of useing a couple of them

    I think with these being bolt/fasten on, you should be able to fit it further down the neck, making for a tighter seal at the mouth / bottle opening, and of course you will be able to swap them from bottle to bottle, should you need to although unlikely you will ever need to,

    the coopers irish stout it really nice if made with spraymalt instead of sugar.yes its spot on I have done this with brewing sugar instead of normal white sugar its very tasty, I bottled there stout, and kegged a bitter, am going to get some in for Xmas, trying to get some flip top bottles Aldi are doing a beer festival....loads of beers in flip top bottles.... buying em full of beer works out a few quid more expensive than buying em empty!!!! I'd a batch of cider go manky on me once upon a time. Swing top bottles, I figure the seals (first use) weren't doing their job. On opening if you di

    I like beer brewing and have got back into it over the last two year, I did my first in a corney keg, and just finished that, it’s good to do, I liked the dry recipes years ago but struggle to get the ingredients now, so been doing Coopers kits, and they have been good,

    Pest stop are about the best of the cheaper trap makers , I use them mixed in with my flat pack traps, but they do need a little feteling to make them smooth / lite to fire, however they do outlast the rest of the cheap Chinese crap, good strong springs,
