What the **** are you talking about DarkPhoenix ???
Really could not have made it clearer :p

A game takes 10 hrs to complete.

These guys do it in like 30 minutes.

People watch and donate money when they're impressed/to get challenges added.

At the end roughly 1million dollars goes to a cancer prevention charity.

Can anyone suggest a few good space documentaries ? Cheers
If you haven't seen them, Brian Cox does a few really great documentary tv series which investigate a lot of different theories on the nature of the universe but also things like time, space and gravity as well as some deep space stuff. The best one is 'Wonders of the Universe,' but he also has done others on the solar system, earth and mankind.

Anyone here do home brew?

Bought a 25 Litre Brigalow fermenter with money I got for christmas and picked up a Blueberry cider concentrate which is supposed to be brilliant.

The Cider said to put it in a 30L fermenter but there was a good 4-5 inches above the 23L line of the barrel I had so assumed it would be okay.

Have the barrel sitting in my bedroom as my bedroom stays at a constant temperature of above 20 degrees but below 28 (mainly due to a computer running in it).

Woke up this morning (day after mixing up the cider) and the fermentation lock is bubbling every 3-5 seconds or so releasing CO2 but the fermenter itself feels quite hard. Should I be worried that the Fermentation lock isn't going to be able to keep up and the barrel will explode? or is this normal?

Was going to contact the manufacturer of the kit (brigalow) but they don't seem to have a website even though theyre one of the major suppliers in Aus.

So you're fermenter stays hard?

Maybe ask Hird for advice.

i make home brew, and i did away with the air lock/bubbler and just put a film of glad wrap over the open top and use a big rubber band to hold it in place, any other questions just ask.
Took the air lock off and gave the drum a squeeze. Turns out it's just the firmness of the barrel so all Good there.

After this cider is done going to do some ginger beer.

The cider I'm making is from a 2.7kg wet satchel. Ever used it? Mangrove jack I think the brand was. If so what kind of results did you get
