    Brewing In The Far North Qld Heat

    got it running at 20C. got a deep freezer with a shitload of big ice bricks in it. adding one in the morn and a big one in the arvo seems to be doing the trick. luckily its a plastic sink and not a stainless so theres not as much heat loss. bought a copper tun kit and it says to run at 18-30C...
