  1. I brew all year round but have never taken any to Glasto. In fact I'm jusging a work-organised beer festival this evening. Bit of a double-edged sword that one, on the one hand I get to try all the beers, but on the other hand I have to try all the beers.

    I get all my kits and equipment from Brew-It-Your-Self. Woodfordes (being local to me) are my favourite, sometimes I add either extra brown sugar and on one occasion, treacle. The treacle was ok but it made it very dark and very rich in flavour and I tend to prefer the lighter ales so haven't done that variation again.

    If you haven't already got one, a heating belt helps keep the temperature constant, especially in the winter months when the mixture temperature might fall quite low.

  2. Parking permit dilema!!!!

  3. I have to agree with Niko. Big fat wheels. The bigger the better.

    Bought a cheap camping trolley thing a few years back, it didn't make it to the campsite. The terrain was too rough and it just fell apart. But that was cheap and nasty. That very same year my friend found an abandoned trolley in the car park on the Monday afternoon and that took two Glastos before it too fell apart. It lasted longer though as it was fairly sturdy - in normal use it would have gone on for years, and it had BIG WHEELS. But solid wheels. This year I'm on the look out for a sack barrow with big inflatable tyres on the wheels.

    This is the one which lasted a couple of fests:

    (Except it was yellow)

    This is more like what I want:
