    Electric elements

    Thanks chaps. Sorry I'm a bit late coming back, I've been putting a slate roof over my wood fired oven then decided I needed a beer so I've been in my bar watching telly. The round heater is way out of my budget, looks good though. So my assumption that the longer the element the more the heat...

    Electric elements

    Please understand you are talking to the ignorant here so please be patient and tell me when I'm wrong. This will be a mash tun and boiler combined, brew in a basket eventually, but a bag until I sort the basket. The Screwfix element is 3kw which is the total I was after (I think). I thought 2...

    Electric elements

    I was thinking of a total of around 3kw, maybe 2 at 1500w. They'd go into a 50ltr stainless pot, although I'd be aiming at about 27ltr into the FV. Do you think 1500w would hold a boil?

    Electric elements

    Will a 2kw "long" element, such as from a washing machine, be less likely to burn the wort than a 2kw "short" element, such as from a cheap kettle?

    Opinions please

    Thanks for the responses so far. I do stir the wort until the boil, and as I said, I even change the element at that point but they still both scorch. I'm quite handy and could turn my hand to most things, but, as soon as electronics are involved somehow the language turns into a cross between...

    Opinions please

    I'm looking to upgrade ( slightly) I've been brewing, quite successfully, biab in a 30L plastic bucket with a couple of cheap kettle elements. A couple of things are annoying me though. Firstly when I lift the bag out it makes a bit of a mess no matter how careful I am, so I think a basket or...

    Were you a Mondeo man?

    loved my Mondeos, although the model before last was the best car. The clutch on the newer model went after 27,000 miles and it took me ages to get them to admit it was a fault and not driver error.

    Do you remember.

    I remember my dad changing our aerial wire to get 625 lines on the telly instead of 405 lines. The difference was like normal telly to 4K today. I was only a tiddler at the time so it might be a false memory but I think it was so we could receive bbc2. What I do remember is I was amazed how...

    RO question

    It's only a problem if it's used for drinking water. It's because it removes all the minerals and the water becomes a magnet. It will absorb minerals from my anything it can, metal for instance, and even the human body. It's banned for drinking water by WHO in places that have a reading of less...

    RAFFLE #10 1kg of hops for £2.5 (20 tickets) WON - Andy_K

    Would you get an invoice if you won?

    Do you remember.

    When I worked on the tools I accidently cut through the cable on one of those boxes, there's at least 5,000 wires inside, honest. The customer was out all day so I thought I could fix it before she got back. I drove into the nearest town and bought a soldering iron, solder, flux, insulating tape...

    CO2 regulator

    I think you can unscrew it and fit a JG fitting from there any size adapter you like as long as JG do it.

    Help with beer pumps

    It's just a promotional light, it's not a font. You'll need a proper pub 24 volt transformer to operate it. A font will probably cost you from £60 upwards, but you could get lucky, I have in the past. Prices shot up during the first lockdown, the pubs were shut and home bars became the thing...

    Help with beer pumps

    Are you sure it's a beer tap surround? It looks like part of a bar light to me.
