So may adverts in #snluk If it wasn’t for the absolute comedy gold it would be unwatchable.

@stephenfry will you write the Odyssey? If your Troy is Homer’s Iliad, will we get the next chapter? Please say yes!

Good morning @NTPackwood, are you doing your Christmas stalls this weekend?

@LogitechGUK when will your HomeKit doorbell be available in the UK?

Quick beer q for you @bakingjames, I took my eye of the ball when mashing out and my mash temp went skyrocketing (95°C ++ 😱). Now I have astringency in my beer. Will time in the bottle help or is it a loss 😢? Thx.

All my social media is telling me the American election is all wrapped up and the Democrats are just waiting for the victory from Nevada. What’s terrifying is all today Trump’s numbers have been rising, from 47/51 to 48/49. 10,000 people are gonna decide the fate of 328 million.

@superdrug in Leamington, why are literally none of your staff wearing masks. You’re only a freaking healthcare provider.

@bakingjames Thanks James! I’ll leave it another week before dry-hopping and hope that helps.

[Alex Giblin @AlexGiblin]

Hail @bakingjames! Guru-God of Bread & Beer. My first WG Wheat Session Ale tastes bitter & sour @ FG b4 dry-hopping, is this astringency? Could it be related to the liquoring-back (it being a more bitter wurt)? Should I just be better @ sparging? Can it be fixed w/ time? Tx

[Alex Giblin @AlexGiblin]

@bakingjames, doing my first WG; your Session America Wheat Ale. I’ve got a 20 litre brew pot, but what you say in #Brew about foaming up at the boil, I figure I can only brew about 11-15L in it? Should I liquor back, & if so, adjust qantaties on Grain Bill?

It’s not just about the ugly prejudices, but how we allocate power. Until we address the deeper consequences of arming a person, removing his identity and replacing it with an omertà and a uniform, evil will always spring from the darkness.

Notice how one of the policemen puts a stick in the hand of the boy who has been immobilized so they can say he was armed.

@louisenolder can someone. ANYONE give me a call back. Your customer evasion team gave me your name and a promis of weeks to call bak. Now ‘Martan’, has just performed Olympic feats in dismissiveness. Won’t escalate, won’t help. I need a #SecretEscape from your customer service.

[Alex Giblin @AlexGiblin]

@bakingjames Thanks James! My end goal is to all-grain your Session American Wheat Ale. I promise not to ruin your recipe. Might send you another tweet if I get horribly lost though 😊

[Alex Giblin @AlexGiblin]

Hi @bakingjames! I’m doing my first home brew (kit) after reading your awesome #Brew book. American IPA I’m gonna dry hop. Should I move beer from first fermentation bin to 2nd to dry hop for three days and then back to primary (washed, obvs) to bottle, or can I dh in the first?
