Time to resurrect this thread I think. 30° here today and it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. At least post-covid I can choose which days I commute into London on the train so I'm staying put until later in the week.
I was actually quite pleased to be in the office today (air conditioning) but not looking forward to the journey home as always seem to get delays on the railway during heatwaves. But working from home the rest of the week which should be fun with 30°C heat.Time to resurrect this thread I think. 30° here today and it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow.

You need aircon in Tyneside???? I thought it was still glaciated up there and that you hardy chaps kept warm by putting on a string vest in mid-winter.I've worked from home since around 2016 and by the time it got to 2018 I decided I really needed air conditioning in my home office. After seeing the installation prices and being a practical kind of chap, I just put myself through the FGAS certification programme, gained a Category 1 licence and acquired all the equipment (mostly second hand) to legally install my own unit. I worked out that, if I then resold all the install equipment, it would ultimately work out cheaper that paying somebody else to supply and fit!
As it is, I kept the equipment and have since installed at least another 5 units for friends and family - and the units also provide a very cheap source of heat in the winter.
In fairness, it was in the Midlands which is where I was living until recently - I'm not a true GeordieYou need aircon in Tyneside???? I thought it was still glaciated up there and that you hardy chaps kept warm by putting on a string vest in mid-winter.

Yeah, that’s warm. I think even kveik would get a sweat on!Brewing suspended until next Tuesday. The forecast changes from day to day so it's hard to know what to do. A couple of days ago they were forecasting 45C at the weekend followed by 25 on Monday- a bit unlikely without some cloud cover, I would have thought. It's already 30+ on the terrace! Probably a bit of a mistake making the terrace with slate slabs, but WTF! The last three fermentations I've done, I've managed to keep down to 22C max, but they've all finished within 3 days and now they're clear enough to bottle. Three different yeasts, Wyeast Scottish, CML Four and some monster harvested from a bottle of St Austell P J. I could dig out some saison or Opshaug, I supposed, but frankly can't be R-sed. This is definitely drinking time and not brewing time.
