smollocks:
1. Thats 4.99 camping mat from golo, I simply taped one end near the sight tube, then ran it around tightly and used a stanley knife to make the handles poke through, then I cut off the extra, from that I made the round piece for the lid.
2.For now I intend to use the inbuilt tap, I really want to find a way to pull it apart for cleaning, if that fails I may get a ballvalve in the future.
3.Honestly, I wasn't really paying attention, between cooking dinner and singing "twinkle twinkle little star" (my wife returned to work recently, I am currently off work on leave to allow her to settle in).......I tried earlier in the arvo before it got it's jacket, and it seemed to take ages, with the jacket I'd estimate 20-30 mins...
And yes, I am in an apartment, the kitchen is the technical brew zone, all fermenting and bottling occurs in the garage however....that reminds me, i need to set up the PC down there with all my MP3s.....
I am so anxious.......I almost want to buy a cigar for Saturday night, and I gave up smoking nearly a year ago....
