I have one of those.Now thanks to
you I.G.I have 4 parrots.
One glass, one copper, one C.A.G.
and one giant white Aus version.
The last two make a lot of noise!!!
Unpacked my order from Discount Brew
this afternoon, I was down to my
last 3 Vodka Star yeastie packs,
so ordered another 15 with a few
bits. She said "What have you
ordered more of those blue packs
for" Well daer only got 3 left.
Oh she said, had a tidy up , put
these under the stairs !!!
Well I now am the proud owner of
41 packs of Vodka Star Yeast ???
Best put some washes on then :)
Rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy

I splashed out £12.99 on an infrared thermometer from ALDI, great for checking the temp of fermenting buckets, radiators cups of tea etc, and the kids love it lol

Not so good on shiney metal, I might have to paint a black target on my boiler to make it more accurate.

Yeh only problem with a target Anavrin
is you still have to hit it after you've
had a drink. ;D

I have been tucking £2.50 sets of reading specs. just about everywhere that I go.
I hate the fact that I now need them.
Lifelong spec. wearing friends tell me to shut up.

Another life lesson learned.
