You're definitely not wrong about the last bit there...

Ah well, I suppose I can always mash electric and boil on gas as at present until a better solution presents itself.

Hey PF clear some messages I just wrote a long PM regarding another option for your 15a outlet and can't send it to you!

 

[Camo6]

Both are wired with 2.5mm but as I pointed out earlier there is more to a 15A outlet than the larger earth pin and cable size.

Cheapest option may be to get a sparky to mount a 15A outlet in the switch board, then get yourself a 15A lead.

And I am a sparky. Soon to be full time sparky again. Giving up the brewing job to go back to where the money is. Lots of people on the forum have said that getting a brewing job is a good way to ruin a good hobby, and after 18 months I agree completely. Working 2 jobs sucks many, varied balls too.

Just to be clear, I wasn't insinuating the outlets were the same or advocating running 15A through a 10A outlet!

BTW I hope you can slip smoothly back into the joy of home brewing. I'm reluctant to clean 5 kilo of grain out of the mash tun let alone hundreds of kilos.

Done

I say to you 2 words: mash pipe.

It's made all the difference in clearing the grain. My 3v setup mash tun was excellent in draining and very very efficient, however it was a pita to clean. And heavy. Current mash basket is a doodle to clean, just tip it into a garbo bag and hose out. Job done. 10+ kilo of malt sorted.

FFS.
Those moments in life when you watch the news and think you're not such a bad parent after all.

Got to ask my kids tonight what they know about stranger danger. Might even discuss it over a block of chocolate.

Depends how long the cable run is as to cable size, (whole nother kettle of fish) but yes generally 15 amp will be on a dedicated circuit, you plug a 15a appliance into a 16 or 20 amp circ you don't have much left to play with. Weatherproof 15a on a dedicated circuit mounted right next to your switchboard.
Outlet
RCBO
cable, fixings, certificate of electrical safety, 1 hour labour plus service call.

Easy. If your place is a brick veneer with a tile roof you can put that 15A outlet anywhere on your house for another hours labour and a few metres more cable.

It's then done right, won't trip out mid boil, if you have a keg king element when it goes it'll only trip the one circuit not half your house. It also won't have you worried that your house will burn down etc, etc.
Call a sparky.

Landlord agreed to put in a 15A point outside. I offered to pay for the parts. He was concerned about electricity usage (I pay warm rent) but I explained and its all good.

Yippeeeee!!!

SoundCloud:

First up, possibly everyone on the planet knows this already, so feel free to make fun of me, but is it true that any photos you take or transfer via an apple device are automatically uploaded to soundcloud and remain there even when deleted from the device?

 

[bradsbrew]

You sound a bit worried Dave?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I think you mean iCloud

 

[pk.sax]

The newbies ate going saison crazy!

 

[peas_and_corn]

'Tis the season!

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Its true, I been drinking heaps of them!!!

 

[Dave70]

You sound a bit worried Dave?

Not me. I own a Nokia Lumia that runs Windows.

"Could not send"

Would not buy again.

I think you mean iCloud

Yep, thats what I meant.
No wonder nobody answered me on MySpace.

 

[Airgead]

It takes a strong man to admit to something like that. Acceptance that you have a problem is the first step towards healing.

 

[Bribie G]

Well who would have thought it:

Dolph Lundgren:

He received a degree in chemistry from Washington State University in 1976, a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in the early 1980s, then a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia in 1982. Lundgren holds a rank of 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate and was European champion in 1980 and 1981.

edit: no doubt knows how to blow **** up as well as throttle it.

Selfie from the operation recovery ward after my kidney stone procedure. The stuff on the left is Betadine, not shyte. I hope.



Can't drink for a few days as I'm on Oxycodone, man I can see how this stuff is becoming a National Problem, who needs a slab of RIS when you have this stuff :blink: :blink: :blink:

 

[Grott]

Are they "booties"?

 

[menoetes]

Glad you pulled though OK Bribie. Enjoy the hillbilly heroine sir, they only gave me some light endone pills after my hernia op. Mind you; one beer when you're on the Endone and you're flying, though it's meant to be hell on the liver.

 

[Kumamoto_Ken]

5 year old son just had his second half day of Kinder (Prep in Vic) orientation...he's already lost his drink bottle and lunch box.

 

[warra48]

Hey Bribie,

Hope you recover soon and well!

And regards to your sweet lady.

 

[Tahoose]

Are they "booties"?

The "socks" are compression stockings think anti DVT, and the other things are sequential compressors which attach to a pump and inflated every now and then to help get some blood circulation going.

We can now say that we have photo evidence of bribie wearing stockings. :lol:

On the serious side hope it all went well.

 

[Dave70]

My young bloke has taken an interest in all things volcano lately and decided to take his book on the topic to pre school for news.
He went on to, according to his teacher, inform his classmates when she opened the page on Pompeii that 'one day the volcano blew up and those people burned on fire and got dead'.
Well done, son..

 

[HBHB]

Just remember the old "I just had an operation, that's why I'm wearing stockings" excuse is only valid for a week or two.

Trust it all passes without too much strife and you're on the mend fast Bribie.

That's some sweet stuff (oxycodone not the stockings). Almost made it worthwhile busting my ACL

All the best for a speedy recovery

 

[pk.sax]

Haha. They gave me the stuff when I woke up in the recovery room all wild and out of control. Back to sleep...

Get well soon Mike.
