Thanks MiB. Yes got a couple of fridges and just need to wire up the temp controller.

Thanks DA. I have squirrelled away a bit of cash. My body is now too old for 5-a-side football and the golf clubs are sitting unused in the garage so need a new hobby. Also got to spend the cash before wife / kids birthdays come around again :shock:

3 vessel system or Grainfather?

Evening all. So I've got to the stage where I have saved the cash to buy some kit to start all grain brewing.
