Home? you don't look like a South Korean :huh:

Ha. Googled Power Station Images, found the one you linked, and yep it's Loy Yang.

And no it's not Korean, it's Victorian, just outside of Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley. 170kms east of Melbourne.

Apart from Brad the gas man, it looks like we will all be on electric - I'll need two circuits and possibly Browndog as well, and of course one circuit for the BM - I take it there will be enough power points and extension leads available? I'll bring a couple of leads. I'll be pumpin' 4800w at a couple of points.

The ghetto rig will only need one 10amp power point, we used to use a wood fire but upgraded to that electrics thing.

besides, who but management types can afford electricity these days?

 

[NickB]

Indeed! None of us 'trade types' are installing new 32A circuits. Not us, for sure!!!

Now before I pop off to the hairdressers then get my nails done, I'm in a bit of a tizz about whether to iron my lab coat as-is or to use Fabulon as well. Do you think Fabulon could be considered a bit wanky?

Well, that's what the professionals use, don't they?

 

[browndog]

I think Liam and I will be in appropriate ghetto attire, were were even thinking of sleeping in the dumper bin outside Bacchus on friday night to get right in the mood!

I was contemplating getting my plumbers crack waxed for the occasion.

Why not go all out and get back, sack & crack?

Ring the Ponds Institute and check

No prizes for what PB and co will be wearing...

Love the Ponds Institute- "scientifically- proven...", "independent research shows 99%..." etc. :lol:

Hi Guys,

Had a brewday at Bacchus yesterday with the BM. Had the electricity cut out on me twice as we had too much plugged into one powerboard :blink:

So, I had a bit of a look around for power points for Saturday...We have enough to each use a separate power point (not sure about the circuits they'll be on) if we bring along a couple of long power cables.

I have 2 of them that I'll bring...BribieG bring yours and we should be right.

I don't really want everyone firing up 2 elements together as we'll probably blow circuits etc...

We should be OK, as the Brewery HLT will be on and we'll bucket say 80deg water across to our rigs from that to get the day off to a quick start and negate the need for heaps of power needed all at once to heat up water from room temp to 70ish.

BM = 1 power
3V = 0 as HLT water provided gas kettle
Ghetto - 1 power for kettle
BIAB - 1 power for urn for boil

It's not a race, it's an learning experience and a chance to talk to beer and brewing enthusiasts :beer:

Has everyone plugged the recipe into there software to figure out if they'll get close to the original gravity with their system.
If you don't get 75 routinely (higher or lower), you will have to make some adjustments.

We could change the grain pack for huge discrepancies, but I'd like to be able to state that the ingredients were identical and rather you make the adjustments to your process to get to the correct gravity and bitterness balance.....a little less or more than 20l of beer at the correct gravity is fine.....

See you all there,

PB

Would you like to borrow a pair of my undies BD? You could use them as a strainer of sorts.. :icon_vomit:
