Looks good. What flavour of yeast are you using?

[Ciderhead]

Not ideal but as I have 2 brews already in fermenting fridge have to revert back to something I did years ago a water bath where the stc controls the 2 heater bands
The probe is in the bucket of water

Will post more pics showing fermentation later that's all for now just clean up :-(



OG including starter 1.040

Good stuff John, you just need to get a walk in fermenting fridge to handle all those brews...

wlp001 it was washed from a hooker clone, first time washing for nearly a year I had to recheck Tubes wiki again last night.

And true to form as a brew day can never go without a hitch

Cleaning up with boiling water and Oxi






I wasn't dropped it just cracked from the heat of boiling water :-(

That'll teach me!!
