Here you go, Tories…

Not sure where the filters have gone. Someone’s probably drank them.

I’ll probably just buy a new one. No point buying stuff to clean it with when they’re about £8, eh.

Water is integral to beer styles (it being the main ingredient and all). Pilsen for example has very soft water, which is excellent for brewing light lager styles. Burton water is full of minerals that works well for pale ales, and you definitely get a sulphur note from some Burton ales (known as “the Burton snatch”). Brewers all over the world recreate Burton water by adding minerals to their water, it’s called burtonisation.

Guys in Iceland the water all stinks of rotten eggs, washing dishes was absolutely grim, it’s impossible to think anything is clean when it all smells rancid.

NI Water’s website classifies my mum and dad’s water as ‘Moderately Soft’ and mine as ‘Slightly Hard’. Interesting.

Can i just say this is a great thread? Seriously impressive posting.

My head says “this isn’t a thing”. My heart says “like hell am I drinking from the bathroom tap”.

Bleurgh.

I used to be an auditor, and when we were out on site the number one rule was: don’t look in the client’s kettle. You won’t drink the tea if you look in the kettle.

“Can you put the kettle on please?”
“I really don’t think it’ll suit me”

Colleague once descaled the office kettle overnight but didn’t tell anyone or leave a note, so the first person who came in in the morning just filled the kettle up as normal. He didn’t see why we were outraged. This was the guy who also poured the dregs of his tea/coffee into the pot plants.

How DARE you.

Actually the first rule of auditing is do what they did last year. So if there had been a note that they looked in the kettle last year, I’d have looked in the kettle.

I trust there will be no follow-up questions.
