Title: White lies
Post by: Ciderhead on January 05, 2013, 01:51:59 AM
I can use the CO2 to make you bottled water...
The extra fridge would be handy for keeping platters and white wine cold for parties...
That small freezer would be great for storing bulk purchases...
The buckets will be useful if we ever have a leak.....
We need 3 thermometers as we could have three sick children...
The bottle drier is great for drying socks.....
We have saved so much money since I bought that vacuum sealer....

Anybody got any more I can use?

I need one for a grain mill ;)

"If I was to pay Tescos for what WE drink then it would break the bank".

The grain mill equals 50 bottles of beer in Tescos ie . ONE 5 gallon brew - so one brew and its paid for!! QED

Also: Whole grain is cheaper than milled after all milled grain in shop can cost €3 a kilo.

Also: Milling one's own leads to a much higher quality as I can control the size and get less flour

Also: The grain stores better so we still get great beer at the end of the bulk bag.

PS: All the above are actually true!

This? A grain mill? Not at all! It's a very small mangle for drying our baby's clothes in a more traditional way. I thought you'd like it...

They're great for making super fresh porridge! Very healthy...

Yea - the bench capper is another one of those that's hard to get the better half to relate to ..

I just keep yakking on about the vacuum packer ..

It makes cooked food last twice as long without freezing - cause you know freezing ruins the flavour (and with all my hops we have no space in the freezer!! :-X)

If she ever comes home with a lovely new winter coat - dont say "that would probably fit around my mash tun" - they hate that!
