I thought when you registered with PM that your first two orders were free ? Just placed my first order but PM is saying my balance is zero? :o

Ordered a bottle of Videne for which the shipping originally was £17.00stg but went down to £3.50stg using PM, even tacking on the 3.50 euro charge from PM itself that's still £9.00stg of a saving at least and the nearest pick up is just in the road ;D ;D ;D

On the other hand now that i have popped the Pm cherry my bank balance could be in trouble ;) ;) ;)

Your local co-op sells same stuff for milking parlours, use old clothes when working with that muck.
What happened to the starsan?

Not quite the same CH, the stuff for the milking parlours contains other ingredients as well, also they only sell it in 5 litre drums for like 50.00 euro, as oppsed to a 500ml bottle of Videne(10%w/w Iodine) for £8.30 sterling. I want to use it around the house as a general antiseptic as well so i can't have any other chemicals in it, surgical scrub stuff is what i needed so i went for the Videne for that reason.

The small bottle of Starsan is long gone, it was all but gone before i realised you could store it long term Doh! Anyway i reckon the Videne will serve well in that capacity as well as having other uses, cant get the bloody thing here. :D

How much was the Videne, Greg?

It's available from pharmacies in NI but doesn't seem to be here from what I can find.

£12.80 stg but that includes shipping to the Norn Iron Pm address for a 500ml bottle ;D

You cutting up bodies? Videne is heavy stuff and be very careful using that for brewing you can get it here, have you any friends that are GPs, pharmacists or vets?

No but i know a student nurse :P WRH don't even stock it anymore and trust me i asked, trust me i know what i am doing with this stuff  ;)
I believe a dilution of 2ml in 5 litres should do the trick as far as brewing anyway. :o

You can buy it as a trade account, talk me next time.
To repeat myself by all means around the house, that will kill everything, just be careful in the brewing gear and good rinse afterwards.

I could probably get my hands on some in Derry either through the chemist or my gf (vet).

Ask her about it, one of my best buds is a drug dealer with a couple of pharmacies and I will be asking him as I am curious how nasty this stuff is, especially if Greg is going to drink it.
