    Pump bottle of super slik lube! Oops, sorry wrong forum.

    Ruddy brill Matt! Keep looking at these demis full of cider and thinking "no"! Don't bottle yet,like Matt said , too early.

    There really are some proper twats on here, I've never poisoned a mole in my life and never will, as Matt says I only trap them and have done for a living the last sixteen years.

    The dust was blown into the burrows not placed around or spooned in, unlike large clear ups where baits are used, coumatetrelyl powder was not dragged around the place to be picked up by non targets. It was a very safe and effective method if carried out by a competent, thinking operative.

    Twas a bad day, the day we lost the powder! Start a big new job next week which is heaving, would have been so much easier "and cheaper" had I still been able to use it.

    Duck you gotta be a bit more careful, pheasants, when we've had cooler winters down here in the sw, I've hung them a fortnight on the shed door and they've been proper. In the fridge not bunched up two weeks is fine imo.

    As above but naturally taking into account that when there is an abundance of natural food around they can be a complete ball ache! Several times I've gone cock sure into these jobs and not remembered to take this into account.
  8. mole trapper
    Yep what he said ^^^^^ Doesn't sound worth twatting about with to me.

    Top bloke! Great honest food. Thanks for sharing.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  13. mole trapper
    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.

    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.

    Bloomin heck! What a day! What a write up! I WILL get my first sika in January! "Well hopefully"
  17. mole trapper
    Exactly what he said!

    Rather tempted myself on the bb .22, would like to see one in the flesh first though.
  19. mole trapper
    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.
  20. mole trapper
    Ah, did wonder if that was possible, no problem with it being still.
  21. mole trapper
    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.

    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.
  23. mole trapper
    Omg no! Wall to wall cammo clad wannabes ! 10/10 for cringe factor.

    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?

    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.
