Wort transferred to fermentation vessel, volume topped up to 20 litres and activated yeast pitched. Now wait for 2 weeks for beer to be produced (hopefully) #HomeBrew #brewsky #beer 🙏🤞

I have been tinkering around with python and the Bluesky API and have managed to generate a set of statistics for the accounts in my Breweries starter pack. Here is the Top 10 by followers. #geek #stats #python

Thursday Morning Question: If you could go to any gig you missed out on who would you see and where would you see them❓

For me it would be to see Marillion at the Bristol Colston Hall on September 30th 1985.

Overall I would give it a 9 out of 10, it ends rather abruptly without any sort of final word from the band members which was a bit odd. Apart from that I would recommend it for anyone interested in rock music or how bands start out in general.

An excellent point for the Hammers on the road and the first away team to score at Everton's new ground #COYI 👍⚒️
