Can anyone recommend a decent probe then? These are a pain in the ass :(

Yeah I'm starting to think that this is not a Type K Thermocouple, as it was advertised, but a PT100+ probe, which I dont think my PID accepts. I don't have a multimeter but might go buy one after work. Here's what I've found so far: Connecting any of the two cables up as if it was a...

Ok so I've been wiring up the PIDs to the thermocouples to check if they work, and I'm a bit confused! The probes I got were these from virtual village: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0469836491 They have three wires. 1 x blue 1 x yellow 1 x Red marked 'PT100+' The item...

aah nope I got rid of the coors kegs, and bought 3 mucky old steel casks from a friendly local micro. They're structualy sound but look mank are pretty bashed up, far beyond polishing! When I cut them open I found at least 5 plugs in the bottom of each of them, meaning they haven't been cleaned...

Started work on the control box, got the PIDs wired up for a quick power test - they work but are VERY dim - hopefully there's a setting I can change to make them brighter :)

someone say shiney? :D

Hi guys! Just had an idea for a hop strainer. http://www.anothercoffee.co.uk/products/item240100.aspx Get someone to TIG weld this onto a stainless steel dip tube. Good idea? Discuss :D - Henry

That's a good point... I'll do that math and see how much it would cost for each setup :)

Ok so I've done a bit more on the brewery, got some decent legitimate kegs which I'm going to have to insulate. Tested the Backer heating elements the other day but unfortunately the plastic threaded backs to them are a pile of steaming horse..... you get the picture. Luckily I wasn't killed by...

25g will be fine - when dry hopping an IPA the more the better! Remember that the hops aren't going to impart any bitterness.

For gods sake man taste it! :D Surely you took a sip while bottling?! :D

In my opinion, that's a very reasonable price. All we need now is pics! ;)

Looks great! Have you tried it out yet? H

Do tell! :)

cool I'll order 3 of them once my pay comes through :)

Spoke to the guys at Coors, they were very nice but said that the kegs were property of coors and that I probably couldn't keep them. He CC'd the email to someone at Kegwatch, and said that they would say whether or not I could keep them. That was at least a month ago and I've recieved no reply...

Quick update! Finally stopped raining. Girlfriend gave me a hand cleaning up the surfaces ready for welding. Then got the other side tacked up and half welded before I had to run off.

To clean it have you thought of getting some of those big tubs of vinegar you can get from lidl/tescos? Mix with water and leave it to sit in there for a day or two and it should clean right up I think (it's the vinegar in the brown sauce which cleans copper I think). Also, have you thought...

I'd advise putting up with it, drink it sensibly and learn from your mistakes.

I'm sure it would be fine, the more hops the better though - it's a great way to use up slightly older hops. Remember that it will not impart bitterness so you do not have to include it in the AA/IBU calculations.
