Where I am today

Well drink 'em separately then jump up and down vigorously
and you can still have your pavement pizza Mr Phantom.

[Easydrinker]

Like a jager bomb or pure in?

As long as they both end in your stomach, it doesn'a matter.
Whether they stay there may be down to your own constitution

The stout wort is made, the yeast is pitched,and from what I can see, the yeast has started work.
Happy Easydrinker living here.

Not impressed! Just been outbid on a wee airstill with less than a minute to go
Whoever got it got a good bargain!

[Easydrinker]

Slightly contradictory post lass, it implies that you couuld have bid a little higher?

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

If it was EBay they bid to high anyway.

[Jennysgin]

It also implies I took my eye off the ball!
Not to worry

Not really, cos some will still have "sniping software" for eBay. If that was the case, there's not a lot you can do about it........

[gaza the instructor]

By that Jenny I meant that i heard of a biding war for a nearly new T500
and a few fermenting items (worth about £80 new) and the bids were still
going on north of £350???? You can buy a new T500 for £380.?

[Jennysgin]

Guess that's where it pays to do your research first Gaza! presumably no-one on here would be making such an error...

[Easydrinker]

It is true that 'live' bidding can challenge most peoples sensibilities.
If you attend such auctions, you need to have told yourself your rules and limits.
And stick to them.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

[Swedish Pride]

I always lose if I'm the only one that's there to enforce my own rules and limits

[Jennysgin]

I always lose if I'm the only one that's there to enforce my own rules and limits

at least you'd be the only one checking success or otherwise too!

[Easydrinker]

That may be better than some of the winning bidders on some of my past items, who drove the price to ridiculous prices and then crowed to me about how they always win.
Good news for me, and they paid extra, just to be the winner.

On the southern coast of oregon. USA. Sipping some oak and cherry wood bourbon

[Mash]

Cherry wood is one of my favourites. Do you toast it?

worth keeping am eye on facebook marketplace search for 'distillers' you can occasionally find cheap ones there paid £45 for one before xmas, only problem is they have to be near enough to collect - jack

[Jennysgin]

You can get new water distillers for about 50 squid Im not in any rush though so I'll just keep an eye out

[Curmudgeon]

The difference between the water air stills and the alcohol ones comes down to wattage and sometimes plastic in the vapour output.

Personally, neither would put me off in the context of £100 - £140 price difference, but be aware.

[Mash]

Plastic? I have never seen any, except of course that tiny little rubbish carbon filter thingy. If it is a final lip, this is easily removed.

Additional Wattage is only a good thing. See here..

[Jennysgin]

I'd go with the stainless outer rather than the plastic and the ones with plastic spouts could probably be removed I'd imagine. Tbh the still spirits one is meant to have a plastic spout!
I'll keep an eye out though, cheers!

[Mash]

The little plastic spout does come off.

Chase the wattage!

[Easydrinker]

The plastic spout fell off mine soon after purchase.
I didn't bother re-fitting it, it was only needed to fill the accompanying plastic jug!

[gaza the instructor]

Just unwrapped one of these.https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/gene-caf ... black.html
Not cheap but a good machine. As a lover of espresso I now roast to my taste,
the beans I love and cheap. Coffee bought freshly roasted is £20 or so per kg.
I buy green coffee beans at £6 or so per kg nuff said.

[Easydrinker]

Good for you gaza!
If it floats your boat, and you can afford it, do it!
Enjoy the coffee.

Robert.
