What do you mean by 'I believed that one simply limited voltage'? I was reading about some types of SSR recently, it seems there's quite a few different types. http://www.crydom.com/en/tech/newsletters/solid%20statements%20-%20ssrs%20switching%20types.pdf Some of which seem to be: * Zero crossing, s...

Nice, that's a lot of power in those lights!

Out of interest what type of lights are they?

Sorry, Parts per billion of dissolved oxygen. The graph shows close to 0 ppb of dissolved oxygen with their fancy active/passive oxygen scavenging crown top lining. But around 1500ppb with a 'normal' crown top as far as I understand after a year. For canning I've heard of figures around 20ppb dissol...

I'd have thought close to 0ppb vs >1600 ppb DO would give a noticeably difference oxidation taste

Heh nah, that's true. Only ~30A, if I was to use a few strips.

Re. bottles I found this interesting - https://dm.henkel-dam.com/is/content/he ... ger_WEBpdf regarding oxygen ingress from a crown top.

For curiosity I wouldn't mind getting some different types of crown tops, to see how the taste of beer is affected over years.

Nice video, I was actually contemplating getting one of the wago clones (in a type in which I don't think Wago make themselves):



For a lighting project, not any more heh!

Thought that was rather impressive! Just bought some of them recently along with the DIN mount hardware for them.

Out of interest, anyone bought any of those?

Do liquidation companies ship things, or do you have to collect them yourself?

Cheers, thanks for the heads up!

Will do that!

Cheers!

I tried using duct tape before to attach fishing line to the hop holder to lid, which I kind of want to avoid doing again, as it didn't seem to like the cold/damp condition.

Has anyone seen a corny keg lid with hook on the inside recently in the UK?

(To attach a stainless pipe thing to put hops etc. in)

I bought one from fleabay, but the seller just messaged me to say they don't have ones with the hook on.

Oooh cool!

We've got a damson tree, but most of the damsons have gone into gin. I wanted to pick more which are all very high up
and bought https://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Prod ... ry-Picker/ and lashed to a rod, but that
didn't work too well heh.

I ended up getting some oak cubes from - https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/oak-whiskey-barrel-chunks-500g Just wondering if anyone has used those particular ones, and has advice re. how much to use and for roughly how long? I have a stainless mesh to put the cubes in and just ordered a lid wit...

Out of interest, are you going to make a 100% smoked malt, rauchbier?

I really want to try making one some time, as I love Schlenkerla.
