Well the house has sold and we have to be out by 1st december :huh:

Oh boy this is going to be fun.

I figured the bottles (700 or more of them) would not be "remouvilist" friendly

So in the ute they go and off the newcastle tomorrow morning.

Will be a fun trip..... not. The ute is almost on the bumpstops.

I wonder how many i will loose.

I was considering getting rig of them but i figured if i did i would want them back so off for a drive they go.

Ohhhh here we go here we go here we gooooooooo!!!

I hate moving

You should have just brought them all to my house Tony, i'd look after them for ya :chug:

Then you would have only needed to go 500m and the road is pritty good between our houses :lol:

Cheers mate Tamworth will miss you

are they full or empty? if they are full i know a good way of lightening the load and making the trip more enjoyable...

 

[Tony]

95% empty ash....... already worked out how to empty them

TS........ thats a good point but it would be a long drive back to bottle a batch and i am wondering if you could refrain from sampling them

cheers

Well the Rig is back together and ive started making some changes.

I have added a caravan style plug and an isolator for the HLT element to the side so there is no power lead hanging off it to trip over.

Ive started insulating the Mash Ton and i have installed a PT100 temp probe and digital display to read the mash return temperature accuratly.

I just didnt trust that little dial one

My garage is a mess at the moment but will be a great place to brew once its all sorted out.

Cheers

Well the Mash Ton is all insulated.

I even insulated the HLT to try and use less power.

I had a stainless lid i found for the mash ton so i insulated it with some foam to keep the temp stable in the mash. It should work better than when i used it with no insulation and no lid and all the heat just "radiated "out. Especially on tamworth mornings at 4 deg when i was brewing.

Im giving it a run tomorrow arvo on something very simple and "teething problem" tollerant
