Jim's Beer Kit

Doing extract with the hops it says book on Thursday. See how it turns out.

I bought a 50l pan with thermo, sight glass, hop filter and tap fitted. Really impressed with it. Will be buying a insulated pan in time. Once the Mrs has got over the shock of the size of my first purchase.

If it means no wiring I'm all for it. Clueless!

Plan on doing my first extract brew this week. Any tips?

As you can see. Electrics is not my strong point.

Maybe this it to obvious. But there's a similar thermo device in the U.S that you just plug the freezer into and the probe just switches freezer on and off to keep at temperature with messing with any electrics needed. Could not just order this with plug converters and use that I wonder?

Cheers. Expect many questions when I get round to trying this.

Which freezer did you go for. A bit off doing this yet but given green light for a big shed so intend on my man cave having a brewing section and a keezer in time. So just wondering how you go about it.

What's a compressor board?

Blimey!! I can just about do a plug.

Any one knowledge of how to convert a chest freezer to a beer fridge. A ' keezer ' I believe they are called according to looking on t'internet.

Did you do the extract version or AG of this recipe from the book?
