Hey @Weizenberg - that looks awesome and very similar to what I want to end up with. All my gear came with a half built control panel and my son is doing an apprenticeship in panel wiring - so with any info you’ve got I think I should be onto a winner!! Thank you 🙏

Mine will be in the post tomorrow :)

Ooh am I too late for this? Not at home at the moment as away with work but could get one in the post over the weekend I think? If it’s too late don’t worry. Belgian Blond

Also interested if you are selling separately - fancy that inkbird 😉

Perfect timing! Was looking for something like this for my new brew kettle but couldn’t find neoprene! Thanks @DocAnna 👍🏻

Thanks @JockyBrewer and @tigertim for the replies. I've re-checked as per your advice above and what you've said makes complete sense. The RCD in the distribution board feeding the garage is 40A. I've included a pic of the consumer unit in the garage and the cabling going to the sockets...

Hey all I've recently acquired some new kit (from @big yogi - details here) and looking at the best way to connect it all up to my garage electrics in as safe a way as possibly but also in a modular way that means I don't have cables trailing all over the place. Currently the kettle (70L) has...

Got a brew in today for the first time in ages. Just finished last years Elderflower Ale so decided it was perfect timing to get another one on the go. Elderflowers in full bloom right now with us (highlands of Scotland). Modified the recipe a little from last year - a little more elderflower...

Cool thanks chaps - going to give this a go next brew 👍🏻

Reading this thread with interest. Doesn’t it leave your mill rollers in a bit of a mess and make them more difficult to clean? I’d also have thought it makes them more susceptible to residual water that could rust over time?

Thanks. Read this thread with interest so will be taking it all into account when I take a reading. Cheers 🍻

You never know - after 2 years they may have it back in stock 😂

Thanks @St00 and @Sadfield - top tips. Will do this next brew with my cheapo meter. Every days a school day 😉

Related but kind of not related question. If you’re measuring mash pH - when do you measure? At the end of the mash? Half way through? Both? Answers on a postcard. Or you can just reply to this thread 😂

I made a blonde last weekend and use Wyeast 1214 Abbey Ale. Made a yeast starter but should have done research first as it’s a very slow starter so my yeast starter was probably all but useless and as a result probably only pitched half the amount of yeast I would have liked. OG was 1071 so...

Thanks both @peebee and @chthon - I took your advice and just fired the table sugar straight into the boil. The wort tasted pretty good to me (but then most of them usually do). Looking forward to the end result :beer1:

Fascinating thread @peebee even if I don’t understand half of it 😉 So, dumbing it down for me - I’m making a Belgian blond today, don’t have “candi sugar” which many recipes call for, so was left with two options: 1. Use table sugar (there’s lots of talk online about this stressing the yeast but...

Our gorse is still in hiding - not quite warm enough here for it yet 😉 My wine is still in the DJ - maturing (aka forgot about it!) must try and fish it out and give it a try! Sorry not much help 🙄

I’m in the highlands too (Caithness). What I’ve been doing recently is using highlandparcels.com - it’s Menzies behind the scenes but they give you a virtual address on the “real mainland” - get your stuff delivered there (often free based on many suppliers offers), pay a fiver to HP and they...

Maybe it’s just how powerful we like to see it. Some sort of visual stimulus that makes me feel like it’s working. But I have seen a difference since making the mod, but you’re probably right in saying running it as normal but for longer would result in the same/similar end result.
