If the element has a US plug it will be 120volt,,,,,,, goes bang when you plug it into 240v

Well come on, don't keep us waiting.......what's the verdict?

Ok I'm interested. What's the process for making sake, same as beer?

Gee it was a while ago....... Something like : Grainfather 2.5 kg Pilsener 2.5 wheat 1 kg frozen raspberries Wheat beer yeast- can't remember if it was Safale or Lallemand 64deg mash for 60 min 30 g of Halleutaur? @ 60 min Added raspberries at 4 days...... remembered that it didn't effect the...

What a fantastic reply......thank you. Clearly we are in very different paddocks when you lend your knowledge, I will need to re- read this a few times to understand some of the technical aspects !! I have always used JW malts, both pilsener and pale. I wonder sometimes what role yeast may play...
