Oh yes, I make beer from scratch, hops, malted barley and yeast, no kits! I’ve currently got a Fullers London Pride clone I’m drinking, which is nice. I have 5 gallons of an American style ipa in the keg, Simcoe hops to bitter and Amarillo for flavour and aroma. A few days ago I made 19 ltrs of a 1936 Mackeson recipe, that’s sat in the fermentation tank now.

It’s easy mate. Buy yourself a Brewmonk or similar, a fermentation bucket and some bottles or a barrel or two. You’ll need other peripheral bits and bobs too. Then the exciting bit, some ingredients!

If I drink it does it stop punctures?

It certainly does if you drink enough, your always too pissed to ride your bike.
Thanks for the heads up on Puncture Safe I will be using it after the next tyre change, in the meantime I have the maintained to correct pressures and don't ride in the unsweeped areas.

I've not ridden the scooter since the puncture due to other stuff occurring. Today I checked the tyre and it's as flat as a fart. Not happy!

Yeah, well the stuff isn't perfect. Maybe you should have ridden it more when you found the foreign body? The snag now might be that you could be up shite creek. If you can't persuade the gunge to reseal, which could be tricky, then there's no alternative to taking the wheel off and getting the puncture fixed (internal plug) or the gunge removed. You won't be able to do a temp puncture fix (external plug) with the gunge in.
