    STC1000 mode change.

    How do you change an STC1000 to its other mode ie. not refigeration mode. Saw a video of it some time back on a shop site but can;t find how to do it now.

    New Home Brew shop in Cannon Hill area BNE

    It didn't stop them from opening up right on top of another HB shop, that's why they don't stock cans. But beating the prices over at Annerley, that will take some doing. How long ago did the shop at manly close? Is the original HB shop in capalaba still open, haven't been down that way in...

    BigW 19l mash tun

    "Any thoughts? or would you just not bother as a mashout couldn't be achieved ?" Why cant you do a mashout? Just sit the pot on a (portable) stove element, ramp and stir, or ramp and pump. The only sacrifice is the grain to water ratio will be less than 3:1 Or you could do all grain partials...

    A fine mess you made of this Malcolm.

    If it was not for the lnp anti add (fake tradie) I wouldn't have voted labor. Every thing he said labor was going to do sounded great to me, if only they had the balls to take on the banks the construction industry, big business, specially those that don't pay tax and the baby boomers with there...

    What is with this wind!

    If you like wind, you would love Canberra. It could cut you in half where you stand. The weather wind that is, not the polly wind. :lol:

    Wanna upgrade my mash tun...?

    Hi Some numbers I find useful when thinking about pot size. Hate aluminum, don't like plastic, but finding a 40 liter stainless steal pot, at the right price, elusive. http://kotmf.com/beer/2012/mash-calculators/

    STC1000 Temp Probe Placement

    Hi Kaiserben Love the graphs Question, which probe controlled the fridge?

Their for, you only need to control the ambient...
