six quid for an ES batton holder even homebase,not the cheapest on the high street is cheaper.

Are you buying decent tubular heaters from the likes of dimplex or elcheapo noname

without any loses a 30 watt heater is going to take around 3 hours to raise 24 liters of water by 3c,however

Sure, its cold in my garage, about 9C

so your going to be loosing a far bit trying to also heat up the surrounding air.

Your post has been reported for

daring to question my far superior opinionated view.

The control for the relays are two lines direct from the controller,

Have you traced out the power side of the relays? my guess is the relays are selecting individual elements,and something else is doing the power control,

I'd be looking for a triac/thyristor on the control board.

It'll be fine just ignore the contacts for heating

if your going to be digging a trench for your mains supply you might as well chuck in a length of blue poly pipe for your water as well.also what are you doing for drainage?

cheapskate option would be a pipe from the tap pushed down into the fermenter so its lower than the tap and let physics do the work

Presumably, if English ale tasted as bad as American ale, A nice example of the ‘fallacy of incomplete evidence’. Or ‘cherry picking’ as it’s known generally comes to mind for some reason.Like everything theirs good and bad, of course your welcome to stick with john smiths,id rather have one of the...

How about you reintroduce the slightly sulphurous taste that made pedigree so distinctive ,todays offering is bland piss water.

when i used to bottle, for 40 pints id use 100g sugar mixed with 100ml boiling water,then using a 5ml syringe squirt a full syringe full of the mix into each bottle,if you want 5g of sugar use 200g sugar to 200 ml water and a 10ml syringe.

The IPA is fermenting steadily but on Sunday the Black Sheep started to burst thru' the bubble trap.

get rid of the bubble trap,you dont need it,the yeast layer on top of the beer keeps the nastys out .with an airlock(bubble trap) all your doing is restricting the pressure from escaping.

Another for your list https://www.worcesterhopshop.co.uk/ always had good service from them

I guess the temperatue issue is insurmountable.

Do as the pubs do and install a python,you'll need to add a pump and chiller but you'll have cool beer lines
