If i understand you correctly, I think I used to have a similar setup. It was a chest freezer, housing 3 cornsies and a co2 cylinder. I had a plug-in thermostat, into which I plugged the chest freezer. When it got too cold, the thermostat just cut the power. The freezer was ancient, bought off a...

Oh, sorry guys. It's a picture of a 33L pail with a hole in it. Not a round hole, either. I was making the hole with a stepcutter to make a boiler. Had already done 2 holes out of 3, when, on the final one, it suddenly tore a bloody great chunk out of the pail and split it. :( I guess I...

Well, I don't reckon the element could fall out. A bit of sealant on the outside seems like a good idea, but I have a couple of concerns. The first is, it's a kettle, so the sealant will need to be able to withstand boiling temperature for 90 minutes. The second is, I've noticed a...

Evening all, I'm returning to homebrewing after a 5 year hiatus. I brewed in the US for several years, and have never tried brewing in the UK before. Things are a bit different over here. Namely prefeeence of electric over gas. In any case... I followed the instructions for making a cheap...
