    Preferred supplier of castellated spacers?

    I've moved over to Manley frames in the supers, fed up of castellations rusting. I'd love to find a good supplier of Stainless Steel frame runners.

    How can I deal with this?

    I have a couple of jars that this has happened to, its old honey in jars that I found deep hidden away in the garage, I have warmed it in my warmer and it just won't soften the bottom of the jars, I have even turn the jars upside down. Lucky I'll use them for personal use, I don't know why it...

    Smaller scale wax melting

    I lived just outside London (Egham) for 3 years, whilst training to be a teacher. I forever had an upset stomach, one of my tutors asked me once do you drink the tap water, I replied yes, he told me never to drink the tap water. I stopped drinking it (unless it was boiled) and never had another...

    Smaller scale wax melting

    I melted all my wax this season in a solar extractor, I have to be honest you don't need anything special. The supplier I exchange the wax with gave me more than they normally do, she said the quality of this is excellent.

    Making mead as another hobby

    This year I have washed my capping after I have drained the honey off them. I have been amazed at the high gravity of the liquid you get just from washing in warm water. I have made a variety of fruit meads together with a pure heather one. At present I have 6 Demi Johns fermenting away. Two...

    Honey Creaming machines

    Pete You fill and empty the water jacker from underneath, I have removed the original straight valve and put a 90 degree valve which takes a hozelock connector (the original one takes one as well), what you can see is the overflow. Temperature is controlled with a digital controller, it has...

    Honey Creaming machines

    I have the Konigin 50L machine, its brilliant, in my mind over manufactured. The Stainless Steel is thick and the whole machine is well made. It's very heavy, it takes two people to lift it. Yes its filled with water but I have never had to top it up with water during a two week mix cycle. Now...

    Fancy Glass Jars
