I work in it/tech, and am seeing loads more 'I am looking for a new role' posts on LinkedIn, not people let go from Meta, just people from across IT uk and elsewhere. Going to be tight times ahead!

Welcome Aardy! What are you looking to brew? Are you brewing already

I don't see why that would be an issue, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can pitch in. I've found John guest fittings to be very good under pressure.

My understanding (which is not doubt poor!) is that even 20yo panels today are outputting around 60% of their original rating. The choice people will have is to get the extra 40 boost (or higher if they become even more efficient in the future) - the old panels don't have to be scrapped and no...

I don't have solar, would love it - my mate works from home mainly and his solar install was £5k, and will pay back in 10 years was the original plan. With increase in electricity cost it looks like will be about 5 years to break even. As he is at home he can run the washer and drier during...

How are your various esp32 builds going? We're you building something to weigh the kegs to see how much beer was left?

Love your water bath. I have a large cooler that I use but hadn't figured a good 'lid' - ill be stealing your idea next brew!

I do 'no chill' - so once my wort has started to boil, before I add hops, I draw off a litre and a half. I fast chill this in ice and then use a start plate to get a starter going. By the time my main wort has cooled to room temp, usually 24 hours, my start is booming along nicely. Obvs...

Yes, they are gas safe and you can use this sort of thing to reduce the size of the tubing John Guest 5/16" - 3/16" Reducing Straight Connector PI201006S 665626053061 | eBay

Welcome! Looking forward to hearing about the beers you brew. What sort of thing are you intending to make?

Any reason you can't bring the corny in the house? No smells etc like brewing, so could place in a wardrobe or similar and take advantage of house temp?

I keep mine at 3 to 5c as I like my beer cold and we also use it for soft drinks and overflow food storage when the house fridge is full, so it needs to be at food safe temps. Use a cheapo inkbird clone type temp controller, and I put the probe between too defrosted 'ice bags' that come with...

Looks lovely!

Hey Cropduster - there seems to be some black Friday offer coming on this Maischfest Mash Kettle It has everything you need, all I've added is something to insulate with (I used towels at first - not needed but when wrapped up the heater doesn't kick in much during mash), and a jug to...

Nice one, will be great. I do a simple marris otter/citra/cascade APA as my go to beer - I love it.

Hey, would likely make sense to prime with sugar and naturally carbonate, then just use the co2 to serve - as I think you'd fly through the cannisters to force carb. I did see a chart previously but can't remember were. I'd personally move to full co2 cannisters if you have a local supplier...

Hey Dom, I followed a similar route to you, was very happy with the kits I made (and messed about with), but itched to try something more. I can honestly say, other than maybe two brews that weren't great, all my all grain brews have been more pleasurable to make and drink than my kits. Are...

I normally dry hop with 100g total of citra and cascade in my 'go to APA' - but I could easily double that. 100g for me is a good balance of flavour and cost - I don't think you'll over do it. Interesting on the efficiency, again a balance as being 'too efficient' can lead to drawing other...

Can you attach a photo (not sure if new accounts can?) - I don't brew cider, but get all sorts of films and white stuff in my beer and turns out fine.
