@Grim... Yes. The trick I learned off t'internet is to put a strip of kitchen towel folded in half near the top - it catches nearly all the dust. I've sealed >70kg of flour with our £25 unit and it hasn't failed - to be honest I'm more concerned by delicious meat juice.

You've just reminded me that I have a single vacsealed bit of brisket in my freezer - that's lunch sorted.

This morning I thought I'd hold off on opening the chocolate one until mid-morning at least. I then had a cup of tea and immediately broke this pledge.

I would just open another window.. It does seem an odd thing to do.

There are 2 in tomorrow's window to compensate, apparently

The porter from the other day tasted acceptable for the first few mouthfuls but I soon tired of it.

I'm promised 100% Smaak. If it's 80, if it's 90, even if it's 95 then it's no good.

Exploded upon opening like a massive pink volcano, covering my kitchen in its bright sticky goo. If the remainder calms down, I'll see if I get any Smaak at all

Day 16. This looks a nice beer.

Yesterday's was so sickly I had to open two bottles from my "proper beer" stash to clear my taste buds and erase it from my memory.

Here's today's:

Flat tire is great, so long as you've not had anything too malty/bitter beforehand.

Unlike that Brooklyn Special Effects, which can also be great but I find has to be freezing cold and accompanied by something sweet because it's a chewier experience than watching something with Tim Curry in.

Yes, I liked it. Tasted like a lager.
