Not new but a bit about me

[mrsupraboy]

Hey guys, never officially introduced myself.

Been loving this forum, lots of friendly and helpful people. I've been on many different forums and you guys r gents and ladies compared to other ones.

A little about me . My name's Scott n i live western sydney and I'm a tradesperson. In December I recently picked this hobby up when I convinced the gfs dad to show me the ropes and loved it.

His experience was many years of brewing kits but nothing to exciting so I ventured from his bottling days to kegging. I then ventured into kit and extract then I've don't 2 all grains. Total of 10 brews.

So keen to learn and and the quicker the better.

If there are any brew days that people don't mind a hand with or happy to teach me. Let us no as I would really appreciate it and looking to make better beer.

Cheers

Yeah mate. Problem is the parts are expensive. Sometimes just loose cables. I converted my freezer I had laying in storage into a fridge. Stc1000 tho

I'm currently looking at a greener way of using the fridge so when it needs to cool and the outside temp is colder then the inside the fridge opens or has a dampner that opens and once reaches temp closes. I could program myself a little management system and maybe use motorised struts to open the fridge N close it. I no probably a bit over kill but that's a thought to save a bit of power

PS Ducatiboy stu - Just finished entering your Pillar of Stout (sorta) into BrewSmith. It's probably online already but I tweaked to suit my malts. Cheers.
