Cool, it may need some settling time, when you arrive on site 😳

I've added bentonite finings at the end of the fermentation process, so hopefully it should be clear.

I have carried thousands of tons of  Bentonite over the years. Bet you paid through the nose as well. 🤣

 I took thousands of tons out to the rigs during the 80's. Used for the drilling. That and Barite and Cement.

That would put you on the loo, if you drank it! 🤣

I shan't be at the star camp -- opposite end of the country to me, but the homebrew comments caught my eye :)  That looks like a very pale brew.  I was expecting more red colour from something called "copper".

This is my glass at the moment:

Made to a recipe for Old Speckled Hen.

It's probably the artificial light. I'll take a photo in the daylight.

Hi Folks,

I contacted Lesley on Monday and explained why I am unable to attend this Autumn Gathering.   Shame.......

I am already booked in for the Spring event.

Lesley not doubt will fill you in with the details, in the meantime........ trust the weather is kind and the skies as they are in Galloway....dark and clear....briliant.

See you all in the Spring.

Clear lasting skies

Hi everyone,

 

 

Hopefully this will be the last update concerning the "Autumn Premier Scottish Star Party" next week.

I have again spoken at some length with the site owner Lesley.

The site is a bit wet due to the past weather, but is shut at present to allow the grass recover and to settle down from constant vehicle and foot traffic.

Drumroamin will open for us specifically next week barring any last minute Government orders.

 

( I have to reiterate all the rules to cover our backs, both the site owners, me and yourselves. )

 

 

 

This is not the usual Star Party.

We are taking Covid-19 extremely seriously and can only use the camp site field with extreme care.

 

 

 

a)   Take plenty of face masks and use them at all times when around the camp site especially when closer than say 4/5 metres to others.

Change your masks regularly and either wash them out in soap and water and allow to dry to be reused, or use fresh ones.

If you dispose of them please do so safely, i.e. in a tied plastic bag in a bin.

 

 

 

 

b)    Never come closer than 2 metres to anyone outside your own family members/group at any time, for any reason.

 

 

 

c)   Take plenty of your own supplies of Hand Sanitiser and use it liberally as and when required.

 

 

 

d)    Lesley has restricted the washroom / ablution blocks to no more than 3 people at any time.

( So please, for your own safety and that of others please call out when entering to ensure that you keep to this maximum number at any time ).

Bear in mind that Water Spray is aerosoled and can travel some considerable distance indoors.

( The ablution blocks will be shut several times each day for deep cleaning, please do not enter during these times !! )

 

 

 

e)     The Warm Room is closed and will remain so, so please do not ask for it to be opened, it won't be!

 

 

 

f)       If you need to talk to the site owner Lesley, do so at the office door and please do not enter unless she asks you to do so.

 

 

 

 

Please remember The Scottish Government has banned gatherings……

 

 

This is not a gathering!!!

This is a commercial Caravan / Motorhome and Camping Site, and is following

The Scottish Governmental Covid -19 Restriction rules and Law !

 

In an open 5 acre field, we can talk to one another at 3,4,5 metres distance without problems.

 

 

Remember there are to be no close interactions of any kind, period!

 

 

 

 

When arriving you must, MUST see Lesley, who will then inform you as to where you are allowed to park a motorhome or erect a tent.

Spacing is all important!

 

Please do this or you will be moved !!

 

 

 

Please abide by Lesley's decisions at all times.

 

 

 

Remember as I pointed out before,

if we follow the rules, we will be a lot safer than being in any Pub, Restaurant or a chance meeting in the street.

 

Following these guide lines is for you, your families and other Star Party attendees safety, and especially that of our hosts well being.

 

 

Finally

Ta' Daah !!!!   

Stay safe and enjoy the night skies !

It will be great to see and chat to you all, old friends and new.

 

Derek

Unfortunately I can't make it this autumn. Cardiff is in lockdown and I can't leave the area due to welsh rules. I'm re-booked for next spring. Really gutted to be missing out but also looking forward to seeing everyone's posts and pics. Wishing you all a great time and clear skies!!!!

Or move 🤣

Seriously though it's a shame you can't get Dai but I'm sure the spring one if you can make that will be just as good.
