[caerleon]

Thanks, certainly cost enough... :drink: got to use if more often to get the payback on it :rofl:

 

[mick84thomas]

Looked up your set up. OMG one hell of a nice setup!!!!!!!! I bet it's worth every penny though and will last for years and years!

 

[PD]

Aah but where's the sweat? where's the toil? where's the swearing ? where's the wet floor?

Very nice indeed....

Yeah i have moved on from my 50ltr setup and downsized so i can brew more often and store in cornies which are only 19ltrs - Crimbo i will have have over 40 ltrs of beer to myself :

Still have that, although the science and control of the mash is now sorted and of course repeatable results = better beer!
