Tim,
I just had the pleasure of happening upon your thread. Top stuff mate! Some really good thinking there and obviously some enjoyment for you nutting it all out. Some brewers really enjoy high tech, computers etc and I think that is brilliant. I love reading and seeing all this though I personally don't have the skills to do it.
We all have our niches and our enjoyments. One of my enjoyments is reading posts like yours.
An absolute pleasure to read,
Pat
