None of the usual signs of high carbonation though. Not much fizz and the mouth feel is just about right for a stout.

Adding extra sugar and yeast to this kit is pretty common as it at peters only send them out with about 6g which is never enough.

I'm tempted to cool a bottle and see how it does then.

Wondering if anyone has come across this before. I've had a St Peters stout in bottles for about a month. It's the 3rd time I've made this particular kit over the past few years as it's a goodun. This time I added extra muscavado plus sugar when making up the kit, as well as some extra yeast (last kit's trub) to battle the extra fermentables. I started about 1052 and ended up about 1018. Not as low as I'd hoped but it had definitely finished so bottled up. The beer tastes great, and isn't heavily carbonated, I didn't add much priming sugar due to it being a stout, but as soon as I open each bottle it blows the slurry right through the beer and out of the top whereupon it goes everywhere. As I say it isn't heavily carbonated, as it would be if it had started to go again in the bottle, but I can't work out why else it would be blowing so heavily. I've yet to try cooling a bottle to see if it's more settled but obviously don't want to drink very cold stout! Even bottles that are filled to just below the rim, which would usually be much more stable, are blowing. Anyone come across this? I did intend to do a secondary before bottling but didn't get round to it so there's more slurry in the bottle than there otherwise would be.

I've got a 60mm on my SC chameleon and want to try a 70mm to see if that improves things slightly. Anyone got something battered and old lying around I could test? Would need posting.

Good idea, I tried the forum but they haven't looked my post yet and it's been over 24 hours. dB sounds like a shout

Helpful... Not much luck there than! I'll keep searching

I'm in Scotland. Could give them a ring see if they can send some up.

Ok thanks for checking I appreciate it.

The Kobe incident is the ultimate definition of a rabbit hole...

That miniature Shetland pony thread is incredible stuff.

Yeah it's a struggle to find the right bits without buying loads more.

Thanks I'll get back to you if I'm stuck

The first page is a hoot.... But I have to know, does he ever get the frame? I can't just skip to the end, that would be cheating.

Umm... Covid and Brexit. The pinnacles of entertainment

Hey thanks,

Yes 1 at 200mm x 150mm x 10mm, 1 at 200 x 130 x 30 and 1 at 80 X 80 X 40. All in mm obviously.f you have anything I can get any or all of those sizes out of that would be great.

Fair enough! Basically negates the need for this thread....

Cheers! Looks top drawer. I've added the link:

Looking for some walnut offcuts for a espresso machine project. Struggling to find what I need online, anyone a woodworker with some offcuts they could sell?

In my year or so hanging around the the forum I've stumbled across some quality entertainment, notably in my mind the 'Great Papier mache Aero Helmet Build', which has provided me with many chuckles. Currently enjoying the Big Poo Debate of '21. Any other classics stand out? Some obscure forum-based rabbit hole to disappear down and annoy my wife with. Is there a way to set up a poll of the greatest ever LFGSS thread? Based more, it has to be saif, on entertainment than informative content.

I'm taking part in a test for someone of a 3D printed kit which extends the height of the water filter and adds space for PID, as well as a glycerin filled gauge and dimmer. The kit comes with a led strip for the water tank too. I've also added a better basket and a bottomless PF. I'll send you a photo when I've finished the review for the kit. By the time this is finished my GC should be as good as anything under a grand!

Random question: Does anyone who does woodwork have some walnut offcuts they should be willing to sell? I'm modifying my Espresso machine with some walnut additions but can't find the blanks I need.

I use Compass Coffee and Black cat coffee, all good stuff.

In that instance I presume the paper would go on the end of the bayonet.

Not sure about that bike but family member works in LBS and trek have told them there won't be any new bikes available until Feb 22. It's pretty much the same with orange etc too. I ended up going 2nd hand but struggled to find anything that wasn't overblown in price

It's nice to think that in these tenuous times this might be the most divisive thread on the forum.

Cheers! It is a beaut. I'm tempted to change the grips although they are v... grippy
