I forgot to turn the element off when I turned the pump off during the last brew. It doesn't have a cut-out... :roll:
Yup, been there done that also :roll:

Glanced at the PID display to see it was showing 90 degC :shock:

Well looks as though the original heater was snafu, I've put the new one in the RIMS chamber, and powered it up to the PID and it can take the temp right up there. Will be interesting to see what it can handle with a recirculation going though. I've already insulated the chamber so that shouldn't be an issue.

TEA is my next beer. I fell in love with it a couple years ago while in London for a week. Recommendation on yeast? I have access to White Labs and Wyeast. If not, I'll be using my old standby.

British Microbrewery Ale

Brewtek

CL-110

Average Attenuation: 75.00 %
Flocculation: Medium
Min Temperature: 62.0 F
Max Temperature: 72.0 F

Notes: Complex oakey, and fruity ester profile. Slightly under-attenuated finish leaves some residual malt flavor. Suitable for low to medium gravity bitters and ales.

I just realised no one answered the which yeast question and my most recent exploration of this recipe used Notingham. Although a nice pint t fermented out a little too much if I am beinh honest. Won't be brewing this now till September/October time but I will be using Safale next time.

Probably would get better results using the hook norton strain that HB use (as I live near by it's not a prolem getting hold of it) but I seem to have mixed results with beers brewed using this. They're either cracking brews or they 'go off' and I can't help but wonder if I am getting a sample of yeast nest the end of it's useful life on some occasions? I wish to add here that I am in no way criticing the brewery as they get good results with it, it's just that I get good results using different yeasts.

I think that British Microbrewery may be closely related to Wyeast 1469. I love CL-110, it used to be my house yeast.
