Think I had a couple of Phyllonorycter klemannella mines and also Gypsonoma dealbana on Italian alder today, though happy to be corrected. #teammoth

I’ve held the fermentation temp at 18-19c and the gravity has dropped to 1.027 making the ABV currently 11.7%. WHC Fountainbridge yeast has an alcohol tolerance of 12% so hopefully it won’t get much stronger. 😳 #homebrew

Brewing a big ol’ barleywine for Christmas today. Goldings and Challenger hops, treacle, ginger, orange, cinnamon, and will age on Pedro Jimenez soaked oak chips for a few weeks. Should be around 10%. #homebrew

How a band from Grangemouth can sound so glorious and dream-like as Cocteau Twins shows how magical music can be. Just beautiful. Absolutely no disrespect to the town, just looking at it from an industrial viewpoint.

What a game Colby Donovan had tonight for Celtic, and that opening goal by Duran - wow! Hussan on the wing was great too. Reasons to be cheerful for Celtic at the moment. #celtic

They’re charging Rayo Vallecano fans €90 for an away ticket for a game that’s on a Monday night.

Good to see the lads of @pigsx7.bsky.social back in Edinburgh earlier this week. Best rock band in Britain. No question. I crunched the numbers and the numbers don’t lie.

My gran had that Lonely Wine record, also signed. He used to tour the bingo halls of Scotland in the 1980s singing his songs and selling his records.
