You will be pulling 21A with 2 elements running so bear this in mind if using an extension lead. Would be safer with 2 and make sure that they are fully uncoiled and fitted with RCDs

WOW! That's £34 just for the cherries. Add on £6 for the yeast and let's say £10 for the hops and grain. £50 for this brew. I think I need to find a cheaper fruity brew recipie.

Been reading the Greg Hughes Home Brew Beer book and fancy a go at the cherry lambic. Any ideas where I can buy 6kg of morello cherries at a reasonable price?

Thanks for the replies the RLA looks ideal, I'll have a look on gumtree.

Do you think a standard budget barrel would fit in one H42cm W32cm?

I am looking for a fridge that will ideally fit 2 corny kegs in and a co2 bottle. Ideally I would also like a freezer compartment.

Any suggestions? I seemed to go round in circles at currys this evening.

Thanks

Is that an induction hob? Looks a nice idea. Any more details?

Afaik Murphys no longer supply to the home brew market. I used to pick some stuff up from there.
