Hi there, My name is 'Crastney'
I'm in London, I enjoy making homebrew, I got Andy Hamilton's book 'Booze for free' for Christmas. I'm a member of TheHomeBrewForum online as well, so I'll mostly be on here in the homebrew section, and possibly foraging, Gardening and DIY sections too (or those that are nearest approximations to this, as I've not looked around the forum much yet)
hopefully you'll all be full of useful advice to help me become more aware of my surroundings, and how I can live a life with a less detrimental impact on the earth.
Thanks and I look forward to nice discussions.

Hi Crastney and Welcome. I cannot help you with your questions, but I am sure someone who can, will be along soon. As well as the usual friendly hello's.
