As you may be able to tell, I'm very much in the habit of taking pics of things when they are new and a 'first time' for me :lol:
:whistle: Really, not much chance that I won't make a photo diary :lol:

Well, work on the brewery is progressing steadily.
Mash tun needs insulated, that's tomorrow morning's job, other than that it's good to go. Sparging arm is made, just needs tested to see if it's going to work the way I want it to :hmm:
The boiler will get a single coat of insulation, but not until the thermostat gets here - ordered it from virtual village - so that could be a right old story trying to persuade it to work... :lol:
Built some shelves to keep all the new kit out of the wife's way, and a fold-away stand to sit the boiler up on for brew days.
Made an immersion cooler, it's all leak tested and ready to go.
Doing a trade tomorrow with hairybiker for one of my immersion coolers, so I'll have a king keg tomorrow, and that rapidly brings forward the potential first AG brew day (I have two kits to deal with first - all being well I'll start the Santa's Winter Warmer tonight...).
It's all looking rather good at the moment - although I should get my act together and work out when to order the grains etc :hmm:

I'm almost there!
Here's my fold away stand for the boiler
Not that I'll be brewing here, but this is the rough setup
And the storage system I've made in the garage to keep it all away from the Mrs who was moaning about it all taking over the house :lol:
Now, if I can ever figure out how to get that PID thing I've bought to work... (XMT1700 if anyone can help...) :whistle:
