Reasons I'm broke..

[Wilkensone]

My God... I envy your positive, optimistic outlook... kill me, kill me now.

( I was in Beechworth last w/e walking to the car with SWMBO and two crying girls when a young couple walked past. "Save yourselves, don't have kids!" I implored them. I'm not sure if they thought I was joking or not, neither did I...)

I'm heading in the direction of you guys and maybe my brain is making me delusional as a coping mechanism?

:chug:

Just thought I would update with my fridge now that its installed etc.. really happy with it so far but yet to use it

I purchased a heat belt and wondering if you have to wrap it around the fermenter to be effective, or can you hang it like I have on the shelves? Haven't used one before so any advice would be appreciated.

My heater pad sits on the compressor hump (in a chest freezer).

It seems to do the job ok, but my temperature probe is inside the fermenter.

I think I read here, or someone told me, that having a heater pad under the beer can "cook" it (not literally), it's gets way too warm.

Obviously a belt is not a pad, so maybe test it with a fermenter full of water or suchlike.

Pretty sure that doesn't change when you have a girlfriend mate.

One quick glance at my ebay purchase history should make this one fairly obvious. Latest purchase (yes - more SS):

$208 for a 1.5m x 0.6m SS bench. Delivered (got it in 2 days).

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201069337024

Not as much (or any) DIY cred as a custom built brew rig, but easier to assemble. Well, it had better be, but knowing me I'll find some way to either bollocks it up, or damage myself in the process.

Looking further down the list are punches, PC fans, PWM boards, power cables, SS fasteners...

Sort of describes why I got into home brew in the first place, some 16 years ago.

Now I do it as a creative outlet and because I brew stuff better than commercial. Oh and I can't afford my expensive taste in beer.

Being run over and off work for over 6 months paying medical bills has drained my big post mine working kitty.

Don't get run over people, if it doesn't kill you, it fuks your body and bank account.

I did however get to spend some cash on a sweet barn style colour bond shed, 12x10m does the job.
