Title: Homebrew electrical safety
Post by: Paul B on May 15, 2017, 03:11:18 PM
Hi all,

Wondering have any members in the know done up an electrical safety guide for the wiki, something similar to http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/wordpress/guide-to-corny-kegging/ ?

If not, maybe someone could consider putting one together? Doesn't have to get too technical, but some basic do's and don'ts would be great to have, along with basic info around circuits, max loads, extension leads, that kind of thing. I'm sure I'm not the only one around here paranoid about this kind of thing...!

It's fraught with risk as I would imagine it would be a legal/liability nightmare. Electricity is something you should use a professional electrician for IMHO.

Yeah going with Declan here as well. Even with the best of intentions and clear instructions, you could still lead a person to burning down their house.
