Big session at the Scratch for me tomorrow, what is on tap lately?

If you can brew out of peak hours between 5pm and 9pm you can hook up the brew system to a tariff 33 or similar and save around 60% on power costs.

Nice link Manticle, this question has turned out to be more interesting than I thought.

I am not too keen on minty beers, but I guess I will never know unless I give it a go...

That sounds like the one!

On ebay, search for STC 1000.

Sounds like a dead short, check the lead for cuts or nicks, and if you can check the cable termination in the fridge, it may have just been bumped in transit, though probably still need your sparky mate to check it.

I finally got the parts today to build my stir plate and it was a bit tricky getting the magnets on the fan. So I had to do a Macgyver job. I placed all the magnets on a strip of blu-Tak which allowed me to get the distances perfect. I then dabbed on some silicone and placed the whole strip...

I used 1kg of rice in a cerveza that I am drinking at the moment, it was my first time using it. I had cooked it as I would normally and left it over night. It was not overly gluggy. The efficiency came out at what I was aiming for too.

Heck yes! can't wait

I would be in on a bulk buy
