  1. Yep what he said ^^^^^ Doesn't sound worth twatting about with to me.
  2. Eighteen types of Apple went into it ! I let some of my two year old trees keep a couple of Apple's on them so that I could make a small batch. I worked it out yesterday that after this year's two year olds get planted there will be a 106 Apple trees here with 86 varieties, 50 of which are classed as vintage cider varieties. Need to get good at this cider making real quick, five years from now there's going to be a serious amount of Apple's here. Lol.
  3. Hiya Matt, I used youngs cider yeast, the og was 1052, when I took it off the sediment after seven days, it was 1006. Haven't tested it since but even in the cool room I've put it in its still possibly doing a bubble a day. Cheers, Jamie.
  4. Ah that's interesting Matt!, I've only got five demis on the go that have been going since 11/10/14 , racked off lees seven days later, stopped bubbling within a fortnight, it's now in a cool dark room. So you don't think I should bottle for a while yet? It's my first time making cider so trying to read between the massively varying ideas on how to proceed. Cheers, Jamie.
  5. Right I'm about to bottle this week, what should I use to back sweeten? Ie has the least after taste that some sweeteners have.
  6. To me mine look upright, but anyone else looks through mine thinks I chucked it on there after ten pints of scrumpy! I've tried to use plum lines etc but it just looks completely on the piss to my eyes.

  8. Bloomin heck! What a day! What a write up! I WILL get my first sika in January! "Well hopefully"
  9. Rather tempted myself on the bb .22, would like to see one in the flesh first though.
  10. Not really! When they were studying them we used to walk upto them with a landing net and a lamp and then they would leg tag them. Easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
  11. Ah, did wonder if that was possible, no problem with it being still.
  12. Nope straight up! Last time I went was about six years ago, I thought I'd stumbled onto the set of a war film. Why would people do that to go to a pest control trade show in a conference centre? The look on the reps faces explaining what a £1200 exodus was to a bunch of Jack booted , sas look a likes was classic.
  13. As above looking for a quality .22 Springer, such as sfs imp, theoben, tx, synthetic 97. My s410 has no issues as is silly accurate as it should be, comes with one mag and aa moddy. Wood in great condition, one area blueing a bit thin just in front of forend from resting on sticks. My gun worth around £350 Looking for f2f only, Cornwall or Devon, but possibly Dorset.
  14. Omg no! Wall to wall cammo clad wannabes ! 10/10 for cringe factor.
  15. Time to restart this thread maybe? A question I've been wondering about is sweetness, all cider left to ferment out will become dry yes? But you buy cider that is medium or sweet whatever, so these must have been back sweetened, but it's not mentioned on the label. I have planted a lot of Apple trees, bitter sweet, full sweet etc etc, but surely all will ferment out to dry? What are you experience with this please?
  16. Far too politically correct over here to sell fur, we used to get great money for Fox uni early eighties, then it died a death because of the antis.
  17. Well I'd better start advertising my pre anti tamper on here then as on bbs I've had to reduce it from £390 to £340 and still not a sniff, crazy as it's a walnut classic with no issues, maybe it's because Christmas is coming up?
  18. As the old saying goes " any fool can be a busy fool" Did 2 mahoosive ones this morning, one in a thatched roof and the other in a wood pile, fogging a college hall tonight for clusters, tidy little pay day for little effort, I was taking the day off today too.
  19. Oh yes, I certainly get paid to shoot rats! And I often think, really? I'm getting paid to do this?God this is a great job.
  20. Started five gallons last night, trying the French keeving method to get a lower abv and dry/med Also got a gallon of raspberry wine going like the clappers.
  21. Darcy your not far wrong on the live mole trap, but the all time winner has got to be the Nooski ! What a pile of shite that was.
  22. As above, Plymouth area and north Devon too.
  23. Neo gold is pants in my opinion! The mice down here live on it. I'm using mainly black pearl for mice at the mo.
