can't make sparks when brewing

1. they say drink driving kills well alcohol and electricity is then a no brainer especially at 28 thousand volts

2. damp air leaks voltage so can't built up enough to make streamers when the brewery is making steam

did not use any water treatment today (apart from campden tablet) and my brewhouse efficency hit 85% almost 15% up from normal.

will have to wait to taste it first but might kick water tinkering into touch

Well impressed with the set-up P. 8) 8) 8)

Even more impressed with the clarity of your TC. Wish mine was like that. Rather than first piss in the morning colour and clarity, tastes the same too. :aarh:
