      What are there popular topics on the forum? Could they be covered somehow.

      These are the ones that spring to mind for me ..

      # Label removal
      # Running your first kit wine ( probably the wrong audience)
      # Sulphite explanation & methods
      # All grain beer process for beginners
      # Beginners guide to grape wine making
      # Beer bottling and priming ( AKA why recycled crown caps are better)
      # wine tasting
      # common faults and their remedies (AKA common smells and tastes and what they mean)

        I could help out with the faults and analysis. Well, I say help. Last time I got involved with the faults in wine malarky I would have drunk most of the faulty wines!

        I could do a brewing water modification tutorial, providing I can make it.

        Along with a demonstration of practical 'graft dodging' an advanced 'ducking out of the way for a quiet fag'. If time (and weather) permits I may be able to squeeze in 'robbing Bob of all his Elderberries for beginners.'

        Bob could do a guide on 'culling large items of glassware in front of crowds' along with a practical demonstration

        If we can get Rich to go, I'm sure he'll be made to do a demonstration on 'all the heavy lifting'.

          My vote is for brewing water modification.

          I could do one" arriving late for curries and stealing other people's food" or even "sections of the M1 I have had time to paint"

                    I'll have a root through the ol' chemical bucket and see what I've got. Doubt I'll be able to do free (dodgy/faulty) testing kits, but I might be able to do some water analysis on site. At the moment I can (potentially) test for everything except sodium and sulfate, but I'm working on the sulfates. Not a clue about the sodium, and I don't have a spare specrometer kicking round.

                      Perhaps a home build demo, using a torch, refractometer and SWMBO's makeup mirror and a tape measure ?

                        How about.

                        Bonfires for beginners.
                        Advanced bonfire method.
                        Charcoal outlets of Knottingley.

                        I'll think of something serious soon, honest.

                        Very much looking forward to it.
