Clamps and Gaskets: week 10

Clamps and Gaskets: weekly wrap-up

Clamps and Gaskets is a weekly wrap-up of many worthwhile stories and other observations which I have not posted here at Yours For Good Fermentables.com.

Most of the items are concerned with beer, or wine, or whisky. Some are not. But all are brief. And most are re-posts from my Twitter account.
