Hobbies Home Brewing Revival

by Ted Bruning

And as soon as you’d managed to escape, guess where you’d head... However, these days it’s more to do with lifestyle, and home brewing guru Nigel Sadler puts it down to what he calls the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall effect. Chelmsford-based Nigel runs a training company called Learn2brew and says he’s seen interest in home brewing skyrocket in recent years. “Crafts in general have a much wider appeal now than they used to,â€? he says. “Home brewing, home winemaking, and home cidermaking have really taken off. Partly it’s because there are now so many microbrewers that people have the chance to try many different beers and are getting generally more interested in the whole subject. Partly it’s because TV chefs and lifestyle presenters like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Heston Blumenthal are encouraging a have-a-go attitude.â€? To that combination has to be added the miracle ingredient of the modern age: the internet. Twenty years ago, Boots – the only national retailer of home brew supplies – reluctantly decided to pull out of the market. Then WKH PDLO RUGHU Ă€UPV TXLFNO\ followed by the independent shops, discovered internet trading. The whole craft took off again; and now Wilkinson, the 400-strong high street discount chain, has taken up where Boots left off. So now it’s easy to get start-

ed. And at entry level, it’s an easy craft to pursue: you don’t need anything more than a EUHZLQJ EXFNHW ZLWK D WLJKW Ă€Wting lid, a kettle, and a brewing kit comprising a packet of ready-hopped malt extract and a sachet of yeast. If you just follow the instructions you’re pretty much bound to get a more than passable beer for your efforts. But be warned! Once you’ve started it’s hard to stop. It’s perfectly possible to bump along at this most basic level for ever and be perfectly VDWLVĂ€HG %XW EUHZLQJ LV D seductive business, especially if you’re the type who enjoys browsing the market and sampling different beers. From brewing with kits you venture into trying your own recipes then before you know it you’ll have graduated from using malt extract into buying whole grains. It can be a sociable hobby, too. The local home brew shop (where there is one) tends to turn into a bit of a social centre, as specialist shops so often do; and in most areas there’s a home brewing club that holds troubleshooting sessions and competitions. There’s a UK Craft Brewing Association as well, which holds its own competition; so one day you PLJKW ZHOO Ă€QG \RXUVHOI EHLQJ crowned national champion... and toasting your triumph in your own beer! ‡ 7R Ă€QG RXW LI WKHUH¡V D KRPH brew shop nearby, visit www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk or www.homebrewshops.co.uk

, / Maybe it’s the rubbish they put on the telly these days. Maybe it’s because it’s expensive to go out. Who knows? One thing’s for sure, though: crafts and hobbies are making a big comeback. Not unnaturally, if you’re going to spend all your evenings and weekends honing your amateur expertise, you want the end result to be something that you can be proud of. And nothing beats beer really, and that’s why home brewing is enjoying a great revival. In days of yore, the main reason why people brewed their own beer was that they were either broke or miserly. Hobbyists who brewed their own would gloatingly tell you how little their beer had cost compared to the price of a pint in the pub. “You’d have to be mad to pay that much� they would cry, before forcing you to drink some of the stuff. #

Life Begins + 3$ The

Call To Collect by Kate McLelland % Nowadays keeping up a hobby can be expensive. No matter how enjoyable the activity may be, the costs can quickly mount up if you have to pay subscription IHHV EX\ VSHFLDO RXWÀWV RU equipment and travel to and from a particular meeting place. There’s no return on that expenditure, so maybe it’s time to consider taking up a hobby that does offer a chance of earning your money back. Collecting rare and interesting objects is a great way to spend your leisure time and, with any luck, you may even make a SURÀW ZKHQ \RX ÀQDOO\ VHOO your collection on. It’s up to you whether you choose to collect conventional items or whether you start a completely new and original collection of your own. You ZLOO ÀQG SOHQW\ RI EL]DUUH examples online to give you inspiration, and who’s to say that the 700 condiment packets assembled by Chris Harne of Philadelphia or the 2,125 airline spoons collected by Austrian Dieter Diatr won’t spark a bidding ZDU ZKHQ WKH\ DUH ÀQDOO\ sent to auction?

So what should you collect? If you’re short of ideas right now, don’t panic. Just read on and see what appeals to you. Philately – or stamp collecting – is going through a bit of a crisis at the moment, with only the rarest items attracting the interest of serious buyers. However with fewer and fewer stamps actually in use these days, there may come a time when the pleasure of collecting stamps is matched by the ÀQDQFLDO UHZDUG LW EULQJV Fifty years ago children used to be keen collectors, but nowadays with the distractions of video gaming and the internet, young collectors are a rarity. That doesn’t, however, mean that numbers are declining: the Royal Philatelic Society of London claims that its membership has increased recently and there are a number of thriving stamp collecting clubs throughout the UK. Thimbles are commonly collected items as they can be easily kept and displayed. The earliest known thimble dates from the Han Dynasty (206BC - 202AD) in China.

In the UK, thimbles made from cast brass were in widespread use by the 14th century. Not all thimbles are suitable for sewing. Some, made of early Meissen porcelain or even gold, were given as keepsakes and in the 19th century thimbles were even used to measure spirits. In the 1880s Charles Horner patented a hard-wearing version with a steel core covered by a silver coating DQG LW¡V SRVVLEOH WR Ă€QG D nice Horner thimble for between ÂŁ30 and ÂŁ60, whereas some of the more decorative antique thimbles will cost considerably more. Coin collecting - or ‘numismatics’ – is one of those hobbies that unites the generations in a shared fascination with the past. We can all identify with handling coins and it’s fascinating to own one that may have rattled in somebody else’s SRFNHW Ă€YH KXQGUHG RU HYHQ a thousand years ago. An increase in metal detecting means that buried coins are constantly being discovered and traded. Collectors can join a wider community of enthusiasts

who are usually happy to share information and expertise. It is rather overwhelming to choose from the enormous range of coins available so beginners would be well advised to specialise in a single country or historical period. Thematic collections are also popular – such as coins depicting female monarchs only, or coins that come exclusively from Commonwealth countries. Wine collecting can be an expensive business, but the rewards are considerable if you invest wisely. A selection from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s wine collection recently sold for £3.5 million at auction, well over the auctioneer’s £2.6m million estimate. The

fact that the auction took place in China, attracting bidders from all over Europe and Asia, shows there is a truly international interest in FROOHFWLQJ ÀQH ZLQHV

The long and the short of curtains A well-designed set of curtains can complement your architecture, provide a starting point for an interior design scheme and, in general, give your room a sophisticated feel. But choosing curtains can be confusing. Katherine Sorrell explains all.

Headings and hangings The way in which a curtain hangs is determined by its heading, often created by a tape which is sewn onto the back of the curtain and pulled to form gathers, pleats or a variety of other styles. Some headings are only suitable for certain weights of fabric and sizes of curtain. For a less formal look, however, there are plenty of alternatives. Tab- and tie-tops are often found on ready-made curtains, though they can be ÀGGO\ WR GUDZ &XUWDLQV FDQ also be hung from a deep hem which is simply slid over a pole, from large eyelets punched in the top, from clips (magnetic ones are easy to use) or even just from hooks.

Poles might EH À[HG RU H[WHQGLQJ PDGH from wood, wrought iron, steel, brass, bamboo, acrylic or glass in various diameters (for various weights of

Spend Now, Save Later These days, we’re all being urged to return to ‘make do and mend’; to reduce, reuse and recycle because it’s economical and ‘green’. But sometimes this can be false economy – and false ecology, too. Some things may be worth replacing or investing in.

Cars

! *

Ever hung on too long to a car that’s eventually cost more in total repairs than it did to buy? Buying a new (or even relatively new!) car is expensive, but in the long run it may save you money – depending on what car you buy. ECONOMY: A new car VKRXOG EH PRUH IXHO HIÀFLHQW saving you money on petrol or diesel costs. Treat it well and it shouldn’t need major maintenance for years, plus a brand new car won’t need an MOT until it’s three years old. ECOLOGY: Greater fuel HIÀFLHQF\ DQG ORZHU HPLVVLRQV mean newer cars tend to be greener.

Boilers Once again, we can hang on to boilers too long and they can be expensive to repair, particularly if you need to call someone out overnight or during a holiday. Maintenance contracts aren’t always cheap either. ECONOMY: Boilers account for around 55% of your energy costs; replacing your old one with an A-rated condensing boiler and modern heating controls will ensure your home and water are warm when needed but aren’t wasting energy when not, and could save you up to £305 a year on

energy bills. ECOLOGY: A new boiler will reduce your energy use and carbon dioxide emissions.

Water softeners About 60% of UK households have hard water that can damage and lessen the HIĂ€FLHQF\ RI DSSOLDQFHV and heating systems; just 1.6mm of scale build-up can cause a 12% loss in heating HIĂ€FLHQF\ 6KRZHU KHDGV toilets, taps, pipes, radiators, boilers, kettles, dishwashers and washing machines will all need more frequent repair and replacement, not to mention the cost of limescale removers for appliances, sinks and toilets, and the greater quantities of detergent, shampoo, shower gel, washing-up liquid and toilet cleaner required. ECONOMY: British Water estimates that a water softener could save the average 4person household around ÂŁ200 a year. ECOLOGY: 6RIWHQHG ZDWHU can remove existing scale deposits over time in heating systems. Fewer chemicals and less energy are used, and appliances will need less frequent repair or replacement.

Solar Panels The government’s FIT (feed-intariff) scheme offers 20 years of

guaranteed, tax-free, indexlinked payments to households that produce their own electricity from renewable technologies. To make the biggest saving, use as many appliances as possible in the daytime when generating your own power. ECONOMY: You’re paid for every kilowatt of energy you create, and every kilowatt you don’t use, which feeds back into the National Grid; and of course the bills from your supplier will drop dramatically too (solar panels create about two thirds of the energy necessary for a family of four). On average, installation costs around £7000 and you may need to replace the inverter, which links the panels to your domestic supply, once every 20 years. It takes around 10-12 years to get back the cost of installation. Bear in mind that the FIT has dropped dramatically over the past few years, but then installation costs are dropping too. ECOLOGY: Your household will be producing renewable energy and none will be wasted, as it’s fed back into the Grid when unused. Always research any major purchase to ensure you get the best deal for you. By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk

Gardening Bringing Up Babies

by Pippa Greenwood

generally want to grow several individuals of the same species and I suggest you choose an odd number, perhaps three, or ÀYH IRU D PXFK ODUJHU JDUGHQ as this invariably makes a better display than if even numbers of plants are used. It may be tempting to plant too close and although this will provide a better looking display initially, over-crowded plants are less likely to become well established, will have to be moved in the near future and in the meantime will be more prone to numerous diseases.

snails at bay. Once you have dug over the whole bed, then it’s well worthwhile adding a general fertilizer. If you notice that the soil is on the heavy side, I suggest incorporating plenty of bulky organic matter and grit. Similarly, if the soil is excessively dry, then you could try to improve its texture by incorporating large quantities of any good bulky organic matter. Once the plants DUH LQ SRVLWLRQ ÀUP WKH VRLO thoroughly and do take care not to compact it if it’s on the heavy side. Regular watering is essential and if the ground is not already quite moist, you should water the plants in well. Check them regularly for signs of any pests or diseases as it will be much easier to stop something in its tracks if you start to take action early on in the season.

.! ! $ A visit to any nursery or garden centre at this time of year will reveal a brilliant array of herbaceous perennials. Right now they might be small and not look particularly enticing but just take a look at the illustration on the label and you will see that these small plants have great potential. They’re also great value, usually somewhere around the £1.50£2.50 mark. It’s essential that newly planted perennials are given that little bit of extra tender loving care. Small plants such as these are more likely to be prone to any weather extremes and even plants in larger pots should be well established. When you ease the plants out of their pots, if you see a really plentiful supply of roots that usually means you have purchased a good plant. Check the plant labels to see the ultimate spread of the plant. For the best effect you

It’s also essential to plant at the correct depth. With herbaceous perennials you need to make sure that you place the plant in the ground to the same depth that it was in the container and although you may decide to mulch the soil afterwards, do remember not to mulch right up to or over the crown of the plant, as this is likely to lead to poor growth and maybe even dieback. Weed control is essential and you can either hoe regularly between the plants to prevent the weeds causing competition or you can use a deep mulch or perhaps even place squares of landscape fabric or black polythene around each plant. Do remember however, if you use polythene, rain will not be able to penetrate through it and so the plants are more likely to suffer from drought. With landscape fabric this is not a problem. I’m a great fan of copper-impregnated and coated fabrics as these help to keep weeds and slugs and
