Nah, although that did cross my mind, i grabbed an old coolbox and my old manifold and fitted it all together, apart from some tap issues it made a good tun :thumb:

80L thermobox dispatched today from Nordic Optical :thumb:

Also I forgot to mention on this brewday I used the Silicone Hose that Vossy has posted about, it's cracking stuff - handled boiling wort like a dream perfect flexibility and didn't collapse. The best bit about it I think is it's cheaper than any other stuff i've seen around :party:

It's a real PITA as because of work to the house this was my last chance to brew before Christmas, and I haven't brewed since July :shock:

Looks like I'll be getting a Thermobox for Christmas :pray:

Found time now have ya???

 

[Wez]

I think for that, I may have to

Witches urine adds a nice twang!

You can have my old foreskin, I had it removed about 25 years back. A bit leathery but still in good nic! :sick:
