I'm referring to the upper drawing for 110v wiring which is similar in practice to our methods. The 240/220? V drawing underneath is invalid as the yanks use two hot legs to achieve their higher voltage level which is mainly only used for larger appliances like dryers etc. Aubers directions for...

Not sure if I'd follow those Auber diagrams as they're switching the neutral to the element. This means you'll have a hard active at the heater element at all times and an open neutral when the relay is open. Very dangerous.

Oooh ooh, I'll take one of each...............

I'm referring to the flexibility of the copper. Flex cable has a many fine strands of copper and is therefore more resistant to strands breaking from the constant movements that a power lead is likely to receive. Stranded cable has less strands of thicker gauge copper and while more malleable...

Stranded is for fixed cabling and isn't recommended for a flexible lead. Ask them for 2.5mm2 flex cable. It comes in black too.

Love these cheap Chinese elements. Of all the colours they could pic for the cable sheath they choose the two colours internationally designated for earth colour coding. Which ever arrangement you choose be sure to use glands but allow yourself a drainhole in the enclosure in case of leaks. Also...

I have no idea what your talking about so now that makes two of us. I don't know how you've made plugging a fridge into an stc controller so complicated. For starters, don't assume black is neutral as it's an active 'colour' in other countries. And if you do suspect it is a neutral why would you...

How bout Bag End Brewing? I imagine anyone that entered would have to stoop like Gandalf the Gray? Looks good Grumpy.

I've found a few interesting glasses from op shops the best probably being a small boot from some New England tavern but my best results have been from ebay. From one seller I scored Belgians from most of the big names and a mint Gordon's thistle glass without any competing bids. It was like fate.

Sorry Yob, was hoping to get there tonight but a 14.5hr shift has put me on my ***. I gotta stop working saturdays (but the double bubble is too hard for this money pig to resist). Happy Birthday mate.

From all the work I've seen from engineers 'on the tools', that shed is the frikkin Taj Mahal. But seriously, 10k for a Blichmann single vessel, burner, conical and plastic fermentors? Wonder about temp control. I want to see a pic of his wife's smile in 12 months time when she's realised the...

Have you considered an upright freezer mants? While I always hear people complain that they let more heat in when opened, I find they're so much more efficient at finding what you want and organising it by date. In my chest freezer, food gets lost and forgotten down the bottom and packages get...

Glad to see my friend. I'd better do the same as I just bought more grain than I've used in the last 3 years. Would love to watch you brew sometime. Any excuse to wear no pants I guess.

You brewing again big fella?

Haha! Epic! I wonder if supply will be able to keep up with demand. One things for sure, buy shares in MM now.

They don't add anything to the power bill. Well that's what I tell my wife about the four in the shed...

Only Wey Pils in my lot too Madhu.

Thanks again to Mike and Martin for all their effort with this bulk buy. Big thanks also to the guys that loaded my grain into the wife's car saving her a potential back injury which could hinder any housework. Mike and Martin, got no hb atm but hope you got the sixer of SNPA as a small thankyou...

Drawing a long bow there mate.

Kudos to them. You know you've made it when the big boys buy you out. There wouldn't be a soul among us that would refuse the payout. Didn't read the links but hopefully the original owners retain some control as their "cellar door" offerings were generally dee-lish-oosh and were the only beers...
