    Hot wort to fermenter?

    Maximum temperature in a Fermzilla is 55°. Boiled wort cools to about 80° in about twenty minutes. You'd probably only need to wait a couple of hours for it to be down low enough to put in the Fermzilla and then adding cold water would take it down lower again.

    What system for first time brewer

    Others seem to have answered your question, so I'm just going to break it down a bit. All in one (AIO) systems (like Brewzilla etc.) are mainly geared towards making a fermentable wort from grains. This can also be done in a plastic bucket or cooler box with brew in a bag (BIAB) and insulation...

    What system for first time brewer

    If you're on a budget and want to do all grain brewing, something like the Klarstein Maischfest would be suitable. The temperature control is quite coarse, so I'd recommend just getting your strike water temperature correct, add the grains and then insulate, leaving the heating elements off...

    Old cars big money.

    If you want to get parts for it, there's a guy in Cork with two of them and loads of spares. May have got rid of them since, but the ad is still up on DoneDeal. Never sold well for Audi. Too expensive with the aluminium construction, but was a great concept.

    Interesting car. All aluminium. Which one do you have? Petrol or diesel? And is it still as economical as when new?

    Thermometer calibration

    Kettle boiled water drops temperature quite quickly after the boil. In the 80s would not be unusual. Altitude has some bearing, maybe one or two degrees lower boiling point. That's the same across the board, so if you're mashing at 66, you may be closer to 64. You say recently. Has something...

    Was that an after market alarm fitting? Doesn't seem like a clever place for a manufacturer to put electrical gubbins.

    Old cars big money.

    The CAN Bus has completely changed the way cars are wired. A two wire system that's far more robust than the old multi-wire looms in older cars that would actually have multiple earth connection failures that are hard to track down. It's calculated to have saved up to 20Kg of wiring in a car...

    Electric cars.

    Yeah. Worth testing in a controlled environment. I'd say it's the full whack, Hyundai aren't known for being cheapskates with the features. My car has it. You just stop on the hill and let your foot off the brake and it holds until you press the go pedal. Even does it on the flat. You can feel...

    Electric cars.

    I think these should have hill-start assist. Just take your foot off the brake and it will hold until you accelerate. Not sure if it's full assist (stays braked until you accelerate) or timed - holds for a couple of seconds to allow you to get on the accelerator after releasing the foot brake.

    Electric cars.

    "Near impossible to extinguish" - using conventional methods. A number of different methods have since been developed. A big fire blanket which covers the whole car. A unit that looks something like a car jack that goes under the car, drives a hole in the battery pack and injects high pressure...

    Co2 transfer loop

    I'm talking about the one gauge loop. To set the pressure on the demand side, you have to do a fair bit of trial and error. You're setting the inline regulator blind, opening the supply side valve and then closing it again so that you can read the gauge. Rinse and repeat until you reach your...

    Co2 transfer loop

    True. Still don't see the advantage of it. A lot of faff for very little (if any) monetary saving..

    Co2 transfer loop

    Don't think that would work without the means to vent the hoses first. Otherwise the high pressure side would always show.
