The Best Of The Home Brewing Systems

Plato once said: "He is a wise man who invented beer". I couldn't agree more.

I spent 4 of the happiest years of my life working for a brewery.

So, I decided to create a Squidoo lens about home brew equipment.


The page covers everything you need to get started as well as some books and an awesome piece of software that will guide you as a brewer.

Home Organization Ideas

My latest Squidoo lens is called Top Home Organization Ideas 2013.

It features a collection of home organizing ideas and home organization products, room by room.


The main benefit of an organized home is stress relief. Getting from shambolic to organized involves four steps:
1. De-clutter - discard or donate unwanted items.
2. Organize items into piles of related items.
3. Pack, store or file them in appropriate storage facilities.
4. Label files or archive boxes.

To help you augment your storage facilities, I have compiled a collection of the best home organization products.

Shoes For Dogs

I made a webpage yesterday on the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot, the dog boots that stay on dogs feet.
They have a double strap system that stops these protective dog boots from twisting or coming off. They also have a cushioned design that protects the dog's paws.

The soles are non-slip, which is particularly important for older dogs who tend to slip on tiled floors.

There is a video that explains how to fit them.

Shoes for dogs are a great way to protect your dog's paws from cuts and scrapes, extremes of temperature, snow and thorns.

The Best Of The Solar Power Chargers

This week I discovered the Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger's bigger brother.

It's called the Sunforce 50032 15 Watt Solar Battery Charger and it is the best car battery charger and the best marine battery charger amongst all the 12 volt solar battery chargers.

Whilst the Sunforce 5 Watt is a great portable solar power charger, the Sunforce 15 Watt is ideal for use as either a fixed or a portable solar charger.

It has pre-drilled mounting holes, so you can mount it either on a vehicle, boat or building, or you can make up a PVC or aluminium stand and mount it on that. The stand-mounted unit can then either be pole-mounted for use in an outdoor application or carried with you on camping or fishing trips.

Amazingly, these panels can withstand 1 inch hailstones hitting them at up to 50 mph.

That's tough!

Toiletry Travel Bags

This week I made a new Squidoo page (called a lens) about the Pack-it-Flat Toiletry Kit.

During my huge number of business and personal trips I tried out numerous different styles of hanging travel toiletry bags. For me, the flat, collapsible style is best because it is much easier to accomodate in a compact carry-on bag.

The Pack-it-Flat Toiletry Kit is the best of this type I could find anywhere. This explains why:


What is not mentioned in the video is that (in my humble view) it is that it is the most stylish toiletries travel bag.

These days you have to send your toiletries bag separately through the security checkpoint at the airport. The Pack-It Flat makes it easy to display bottles to the staff and it looks like an upmarket product (which it is).

Because it has a range of colors, it is an ideal women's toiletry bag because women can buy a second one in a different color and use it for make-up.

Sherpa Pet Carriers

Travelling with your small dog or cat is often a bit of a challenge. Having a good quality, comfortable pet carrier makes it so much easier.

They are very well made and full of features like a top flap that opens and a pocket for accessories.

Most importantly, they are airline approved, so you can fly with peace of mind. They fit under the seat in front of you and they are comfortable and well ventilated.

How To Slash Your Golf Score


Putting is golf's game within a game.

It's a sobering thought that a two foot putt counts the same as a 300 yard drive.

With putting, practise makes perfect. And the Grassroots Par Three Putting Green makes it easy to continue practising indoors - at home or at the office.





 The 3 principles of putting are:
1. Good stroke technique.
2. Control of distance..
3. Reading the green.

Of these, stroke technique and distance control are most important. And, the Grassroots Par Three Putting Green (3x9 Feet) makes practising technique and distance so much easier. It rolls up and packs away quickly and easily so you can keep it with you and use it whenever you get the chance.

Setting Up A Workbench With Storage

Most of us have limited free time.

If you are like me, you would rather be doing constructive things than building workbenches and storage systems.

I discovered the solution - The 2X4 Basics Workbench and Shelving Storage System.


If you want to build a workbench and storage system from scratch, this is how you can do it.

For me, the 2x4basics 90164 Workbench and Shelving Storage System is so much easier. You just use timber and cut it to the length and depth you require. And, it can assembled in less than an hour.

62 Reasons Why This Is The Best Aluminium Folding Table

62 reviewers gave the Coleman Pack-Away 4-In-1 Table 5 out of 5 stars. It is simply the best aluminium folding table on the market.

This Coleman table's main benefit is that it can be configured in numerous ways. You can use it as a desk for the kids. Or for serving meals. It can be set up as a table for meals or as side tables for arm chairs.

This versatility is made possible by:
1. The table tops, which can be laid end to end, separately or next to each other.
2. Three different heights for each table. So, you can use it as one long high table, a stepped table or a square table.

The Coleman Pack-Away is also extremely steady because it has adjustable legs. It folds up easily and its light and easy to carry.

Modern Cat Furniture - Scratch, Play, Sleep. Cat Heaven!

We have two cats - Misty and Freeway. They couldn't be more different.


Misty (on the right) is a pedigree blue tortie Burmese, whilst Freeway is a pavement special. Freeway was dumped on the Freeway as a kitten and then rescued by a passer by. He was initially very skittish, but now he is a wonderful, laid-back pet.

Last week I came across a product Misty and Freeway would love. You can see it on my lens -
Trixie Baza Cat Tree. I have a very entertaining video on the lens too.

How To Keep Your Batteries Charged With A Portable Solar Charger

Have you ever experienced the frustration of wanting to use a vehicle or appliance you only use occasionally and finding that the battery was flat?

Last week I came across a great solution to this problem - a 12 volt solar charger.




Often, where we store these vehicles or appliances has no conveniently located power source. And, even it the parking spot does have power, leaving a trickle charger continuously on adds to your electric bill.

Solar power is free.

The Sunforce 5 Watt Solar Charger is a great choice for several reasons. But, above all, it is convenient to use anywhere, and it costs nothing to keep your batteries charged all the time.

One of the most common pitfalls of investing in a solar trickle charger is buying a charger that is over-rated for the job required. The 5 watt size in a 12 volt solar battery charger is perfect for most situations.

With the Sunforce 5 Watt Solar Charger you will not have too experience that aweful sound when to turn the key and nothing happens.
