Thanks, that's reassuring. Is it varnished on the underside?

Varnished all over, only so I don't have to care which way round I put it. Screwfix cheapo yacht varnish is fine once cured properly.

That's not the voltage drop. Voltage drop is dependant on the current drawn and the resistance of the cable. V = I * (R^2)

I've just bought some 1.5" ones from http://www.globalcoupling.com/products/ ... -steel-316 at a stupidly cheap price.

Smallest they do though is 3/4"

It takes more energy to heat water than to maintain a boil. So I'd say it's so he can reduce the time required to heat the wort to temperature then, by having 3 6 and 12 he has a good range of power to choose from to maintain the boil. Spot on!

Use t90 pellets. They'll drop out when you crash cool and you can run the sludge off. Easier with conicals but works with flat bottomed tanks too.

Cheers! I haven't laughed this much in ages.

I used a 3/8" to 6mm fitting from A&B air systems in wrexham. I usually use metric fittings (then a 10mm to go on normal beer/gas line at the end) because I can pick them up anytime I want.

JG do a 3/8" BSP to 3/8" speedfit connector. Not on the computer at the moment so haven't got a link.

I have that regulator and the thread is 3/8" BSP not FFL.

They didn't have a choice. Business partners falling out and all that.

By the way, was it any of you lot who popped in on the 11th of Feb when I was brewing with Alex?

Sorachi Ace. What a bloody misnomer.

Not Saturdays generally. Will be around on Sunday though.

Alfie,

If you fancy popping down to the brewery on Sunday afternoon, I'll give you a large handfull of Protofloc tablets for bugger all.

I assume you're still in Wrexham.
